2007-02-20 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was the "Olds Memorial Organ" since it was a gift of Mr. William P. Olds of the college Board of Trustees, and was a memorial to his wife. Skinner, Kimball, and Austin were also consulted for bids for an organ. The organ was installed by Portland resident and Estey representative, Mr. H.C. Ferris. There are two chambers at the front of the chapel - left and right of center. Each has a façade of 15 gold pipes with the largest at the center. Some are speaking pipes. The Swell and some of the Pedal are on the right side. The Choir - over the Great - and the rest of the Pedal are on the left side. The Echo was in the ceiling. The organ was later electrified by Balcom and Vaughan of Seattle. -Database Manager
