I1821 R E E D OLDS MEMORIAL ORGAN Mr. William P. Olds, 0f the Board of Trustees, is the donor of a pipe organ for use in the college chapel. This gift is a memorial to the late Mrs. Olds, wife of the donor. At the beginning of the current year the faculty music committee, con- sisting of Dr. Rowland, Mr. Stahl and Dr. Cushing tchair- maiw, was requested to aid in selecting the organ. After care- ful investigation and consideration of Skinner, Austin, Kim- ball and Estey organs and of organ bilders the committee re- ported that an Estey 0f thirty-four stops and costing about ten thousand dollars was, in their judgment, the organ most suitable to the Chapel and best fltted for the purposes for which it wil be used. This organ was chosen.

C. Ferris of Port- land, a representativ of the Estey Company and a bilder of ex- perience and reputation. It wil be completed about the middle of May, when it wil be dedicated, and wil be used for the spring concert of the corus, for chapel and vespers, and for the exercises of commencement week. It is Mr. Olds1 desire that the organ be used freely by all Reed students who have the tecnical skil, and be heard daily by the college community, so that music may become more and more an integral part of the experience and life- equipment of the students. Since Mrs. Olds spent much of her life in musical pursuits this memorial wil prove peculiarly fitting and beautiful if it may serv to stimulate the love of that art to which she was so devoted.
