Given as a memorial to Sherman K. Clegg by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sherman D. Clegg, the chapel seats 300 persons in addition to the choir. The pipe organ was given by Mrs. Clegg as a memorial to her sister Mrs. Irene Bryan. An endowment fund of $100,000 for the maintenance of the chapel and the chapel program was established through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Clegg and of their friends. Nearby, is the keyboard to the set of “carillonic bells” donated by the Louis D. Beaumont Foundation and the estate of Anne V. Sterling. These were installed in Hudson Hall in 1956. In 1968-69, the chapel was extensively remodeled with funds provided in a gift form the First Presbyterian Church, Springfield, Illinois. Additional remodelings were done in 1987 and 1992. The Chapel is located on the second floor of Hudson Hall. |
