The square vertical sundial on the Story Chapel has Roman numerals fo the hours and a sunburst for the XII noon position. It is angled slightly so that is faces due south. The sundial was formally owned by Henry Ingersol Bowditch M.D. (1808-1892). Below the sundial is a quote written for the sundial by John Greenleaf Whittier:

WITH WARNING HAND I MARK TIME'S RAPID FLIGHT
FROM LIFE'S GLAD MORNING TO ITS SOLEMN NIGHT
YET THROUGH GOD'S LOVE, I ALSO SHOW
THERE'S LIGHT ABOVE ME BY THE SHADE BELOW.

~~~WHITTIER
Sundial Type: Vertical - Wall mounted dial plate
