Donald M. Pearson, College Organist from 1946-1982, drew up the specifications for the 1967 Gress-Miles instrument and played its dedication recital November 8, 1967. There are a total of 5,710 pipes, 99 stops and 106 ranks. The action is direct electric. The wood-carved facade was designed by the architects of the chapel, Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge, of Boston, for the chapel's first organ, a 1904 Hutchings-Votey. The chapel's acoustics were also improved in the 1960's b the addition of a 1-1/2 inch thick hard Australian oak ceiling to the building.
