Knight on Sherborn. The Knight’s Vow, a circa
1500 tapestry, adorns SMG’s Sherborn Street entrance. The tapestry
was given to Special Collections in 1959 by the William Randolph Hearst
Foundation. It tells a classic story of chivalry and romance in five panels:
a knight receives his title and armor; the knight meets a young woman
of means; a second woman appears in the large central panel depicting
the wedding of the knight; and in the right panels the knight atones for
his indiscretions. Photo by Kalman Zabarsky
