#WisdomWednesday: #DidYouKnow The Brownu Hutchings-Votey Organ in Sayles Hall is the largest of its type in the world — was a gift in 1903 of Lucian Sharpe (class of 1893) in memory of his parents. The Latin inscription on the organ’s oak case reads, “Parentibus et Academiae Pignus Pietatis” or “to (my) parents and the academy, a token of devotion.” You can hear👂the organ played on the “scariest nights of the year at Brown” — midnight on Halloween 🎃, the night before the first-years orientation and the start of final exams in the fall and spring‼️#NowYouKnow #wednesdaywisdom #wisdom #wednesday #wisdomoftheday #knowledge #funfacts #interestingfacts #factoftheday #didyouknowthat #coolfacts #brownuniversity #brown
