Notes: The organ is installed at floor level across the back of the stage of Pease Auditorium. Slight tonal alterations were made after the installation. The organ was temporarily removed in the mid-1990s for building renovation and reinstalled farther back on the stage by Jerroll Adams and Richard Houghton.

Notes: Membership peaked at 2,600 in the mid-1950's. As of 2005, there were 575 members, with far fewer active.
