Built as a Federal Works Agency Project, the auditorium - located in the heart of campus - opened on March 22, 1941, and has been host for the last sixty years to the world's top performers and entertainers. The Auditorium is also home to Thomas Hart Benton's "Century of Progress" murals, painted for the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, the priceless Dailey Family Memorial Collection of Hoosier Art, and two Robert Laurent sculptures. It was home to the historic 4500 pipe Roosevelt Organ, which was played for university ceremonies and other special events.



A history of the previous Roosevelt & Aeolian-Skinner organs at the auditorium.

The 1969 Schantz replaced the previous Aeolian-Skinner rebuild of the Roosevelt, not the Roosevelt organ itself. A significant amount of the organ was Aeolian-Skinner. The Aeolian-Skinner was severely damaged by fire, hence the 1969 Schantz organ. The Aeolian-Skinner Positiv was dispatched to the music department and was rebuilt as a practice organ. Six of the Aeolian-Skinner rebuild stops were reused on the Schantz.
