Notes: Known as "The Praetorius Organ," the organ, according to the OHS OPUS LIST, used recycled chests from EMS Op. 275 and the old console from the Aeolian Studio in New York City. It was later relocated on the campus. Jonathan reports that it was in very poor condition by the late 1980s and that, by 2004, the organ was unplayable and the pedalboard removed.
