The College has recently been the recipient of a most generous gift from an alumnus who desires to remain anonymous. This gift consists of the sum of twelve thousand dollars, to be expended in the purchase and erection of a new pipe organ for Rollins Chapel.
The organ which is now in use in the Chapel has given good service for many years, but with the enlargements of the chapel incident upon the growth of the student body, it has proved inadequate. The new organ will give sufficient volume properly to fill the whole chapel, and in addition will possess modern arrangements for creating tone effects which have been impossible of achievement heretofore.
Of necessity it will be several months before the organ can be constructed and erected, but it is now hoped that it may be installed during the Easter recess. In that case, it will be played for the first time at the opening exercises of the College after the recess.
