Updated through online information from John McCraney. -- Virgil Fox was featured in the dedication recital in 1970, at the end of which lights in the choir and the swell chambers were turned on and the fan tremolos activated while he played the graduation "Pomp and Circumstance."

Updated through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- As of June 2011, the organ was no longer being used due to mechanical problems - primarily ciphers. The university highly values the organ, so it is hoped that funds can be raised for the organ's renovation. The room has a wonderful acoustic.
