The windows in Bapst Library are iconic. Each window has a theme related to an academic subject, Jesuit education or distinguished Jesuits.

The general theme of the windows in Gargan Hall (the fourth floor reading room) is the traditional curriculum of studies in Jesuit Colleges and Universities. You can listen to our audio tour here, or you can scan the QR Codes next to the 15 stops in Bapst Library. Remember to wear earphones!
