Organ Dedication

one at Bethany College in Linds-
burg Kan. during his undergrad-
uate days.
When the Mohler organ was
purchased the company sent
Lewis a commission check for
helping sell the organ. Lewis re-
turned the check and asked that
it be applied toward more pipes
for the instrument. The check
equaled more than three months
salary for the H-SU faculty mem-
ber. Meredith Lewis brought to the
recent dedicatory concert a copy
of the original dedication concert
program played on the organ by
his father in First Baptist Church
in 1010.
He told of the purchase and
installation of the first pipe organ
for Hardin-Simmons by his father
in the pre-1913 Hardin - Simmons
chapel which was located in the
old main building. This building
was torn down and rebuilt as the
Science Hall using the old north
wall of the original; building.
Professor Lewis agreed to pur-
chase and install the organ if he
could use the space in the build-
ing in return for teaching organ
lessons for the music department.
After a brief time away from
the University Lewis returned to
find the instrument in disrepair.
When the building was rebuilt
the instrument was placed in the
basement of the old Abilene Hall.
It was burned in the 1947 fire. '
Meredith Wilson retains a
music rest and two pipes from
the original organ.
