A t the beginning of the 20th century, stained-glass artist and designer Louis Comfort Tiffany and Tiffany Studios were deeply involved in the creation of various war memorials, one of which is our beloved schoolhouse, the Levere Memorial Temple in Evanston, Illinois. The Grand Foyer contains stained glass windows by Louis Comfort Tiffany with "The Good Samaritan" depicted in the center window, and the two side windows depict scenes from the life of William C. "Billy" Levere, Northwestern 1897, Eminent Supreme Recorder, 1912-27. The plan to construct a national headquarters for Sigma Alpha Epsilon was adopted at the 1920 Convention in St. Louis, and final plans for the building were presented at the 1928 Convention in Miami, which was met with unanimous approval. Ground was broken on June 22, 1929, and the Levere Memorial Temple was dedicated on December 28, 1930. As part of its Eternal Light: The Sacred Stained-Glass Windows of Louis Comfort Tiffany exhibition, The Richard H. Driehaus Museum included the Levere Memorial Temple in its "Chicago's Tiffany Trail," which you may learn more about by visiting its website at driehausmuseum.org/exhibition/eternallight/tiffany-trail.
