Organs
The McGuigan Organ in the gallery was originally built in 1930, replacing a large reed organ, extensively repaired after the 1976 fire, and renovated in 1992–1993 and renamed "The McGuigan Organ" in honour of Sister Marion McGuigan, a much loved local humanitarian and educator. It was built by Casavant Frères of Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec.

Famous quotes containing the word organs:
“Words are finite organs of the infinite mind. They cannot cover the dimensions of what is in truth. They break, chop, and impoverish it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“How can anyone be interested in war?—that glorious pursuit of annihilation with its ceremonious bellowings and trumpetings over the mangling of human bones and muscles and organs and eyes, its inconceivable agonies which could have been prevented by a few well- chosen, reasonable words. How, why, did this unnecessary business begin? Why does anyone want to read about it—this redundant human madness which men accept as inevitable?”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
“It seems that nature, having taken such wise care to fit the organs of our body for our happiness and convenience, gave us also pride, to spare us the pain of knowing our own imperfections.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
