| | Romance in the Pipes |
 | | As the plans were being drawn up for the hall Helen Handy Newberry, mother of Truman Handy Newberry, Yale Ph.B. 1885, offered to pay for a pipe organ to be built in the new hall in memory of her husband, John Stoughton Newberry. |
 | | To further complicate things the tone of all these pipes can be subtly changed by such factors as where the mouth of the pipe is cut, how big it is, whether the top of the pipe is open or closed, and whether any holes are bored in the length of the pipe. |
 | | The Newberry was saved by a set of fortuitous circumstances including a budget crisis at Yale, the retirement of Professor Jepson and his replacement by a man less interested in keeping the Newberry on the cutting edge, and finally the existence in Battell of a new, fashionable, neoclassical organ. |
