NOTES
As originally installed before the Moody Music Building was built, the
organ was located in a building housing the Drama & Speech departments.
The particular room in which the organ was installed looked like a band
room with terraced seating. It was called Câdek Hall. The pipes were
along the front wall, and the console was movable.
