2022-12-26 - This organ takes the place of the old one, which has served the large Lutheran institution for thirty-eight years —twenty-six years at Addison, IIl., the former home of the college, and twelve years at River Forest. The old instrument was built by Carl Barckhoff of Salem, Ohio, and was originally a three-manual with thirty-three speaking stops and tracker action. About twenty-two years ago it was rebuilt by George Kilgen & Son and changed to a two-manual with twenty-eight speaking stops and tracker pneumatic action. The new organ, like the old, will be used for all chapel exercises, and for practice by members of the graduating class. -Jeff Scofield
