Some more information about the stained glass window (thanks to User:Nitramrekcap on en.wikipedia.org), from the article " Caius Stained Glass archive copy at the Wayback Machine ", by Anthony Edwards, in " Once a Caian ", issue 2, September 2005, 12–13.
"..Crick gave his blessing (provided Watson agreed and as long as the window was not visible from outside at night, for the DNA would be coiling the wrong way.).."
"Francis Crick, co-discoverer of the structure of DNA with James Watson, and Nobel Prizewinner, is commemmorated by a diagram of the double helix based with permission on a 1989 Swedish stamp."
