The stained glass window commemorates scientist Edward Henry Rennie (1852 - 1957) who was an Elder of the church for 38 years.

A Presbyterian, Rennie supported the Student Christian Movement and Adelaide's Presbyterian colleges. He combined Calvinistic principle, modesty and authority. Of simple tastes and austere habits, he was noted for his stately walk and flowing beard; he was kindly and helpful to others and to staff and students was known as 'Dad Rennie'. Still working, he died suddenly on 8 January 1927, and was cremated. His name is memorialized in the university, in the R.A.C.I. and at Scots Church, Adelaide.
