Photo Source: The American Organist, June 1950, via Steve Lawson Notes: The 48 ranks of the organ were installed in 1934, with additions made the following year, along with tonal changes. It was altered by Möller as their Op. R-660 in 1960 and Möller built a new console in 1964. The organ has seen many a tool chest since that time: Alterations were done by Church Organ Co. from 1968-1977; some tonal work by Mark Brombaugh and Kenneth Wolfe from 1982-1983; reeds re-voiced by Broome in the 1980s; additions and modifications by Kenneth Wolfe since August 1983. The stop list as seen here was printed in The American Organist in April 1952, with comments: "The College reports the organ today is exactly as installed with the exception that 'a set of Schulmerich Chimes has been installed and can be played from the console.' " The preparer of the article was also under the impression that the Dulciana unit was actually at home in the Pedal division. TAO says "Dulciana seems to be the correct name though a borrow to the Great has been given something entirely different and unsupported by other facts; Clarion is spelled thus in its original."
