Identified through online information from T. Daniel Hancock. -- Ochse, 1975, reports "The diary of Ezra Stiles (entry for July 10, 1770) gives an unenthusiastic account of the organ installed in Princeton University about 1760: 'Perhaps about ten years ago there was an Organ erected in Nassau Hall for the use of the Scholars at public prayers--on Ldsdays the college attend pub. Worship in the Meetg h. of the Town of Princeton. I then thought it an Innovation of ill consequence, & that the Trustees were too easily practiced upon. They were a little sick of it. The organ had been disused for sundry years, & never was much used."
