Builder: Kimball Co., W.W., 1931. Manuals: 4 Ranks: 45 Pipes: 3,030 Stops: 63 Action: Electro-pneumatic Notes: This organ was the Merner-Pfeiffer Memorial Organ. It was installed across the front of the chapel and down the sides of the chancel. A large gold pipe façade spanned the front. The Kimball 'replaced' a 3-manual, 37-rank, 1898 Hook & Hastings – and almost all of the H&H stops appear by name in the Kimball stoplist. It is not specifically known if the Hook pipework was retained and revoiced for the Kimball, but there is evidence to suggest so. Subsequent organs (Moller and Casavant) may also have retained pipework. The organ was dedicated Tuesday December 1, 1931 at 8:15 p.m. By William H. Barnes, Mus. D. (assisted by his wife Edith McMillan Barnes at the piano). The organ was enlarged in 1950 with funds from the estate of Miss Nellie R. Sherwood of Cedar Rapids. The additions were dedicated November 21, 1950. College historial documents, James R. Stettner, and Organ Historical Society as of 2014.
