In 1925, the War Memorial Committee, along with the Alumni Association acting as the finance committee, raised the $12,000 to purchase and dedicate the University War Memorial Pipe Organ, which sits in Convocation Hall at the University of Alberta. The organ is dedicated to 80 University of Alberta comrades who gave up their lives during the First World War. In 1947, after twenty-three years of use, the pipe organ was thoroughly cleaned and reconditioned.
Erected in 1925 by Casavant Frères, a Canadian pipe organ company, the organ is in memory of the 80 University of Alberta comrades who gave up their lives during WWI. There are also tablets near the entrance of the Convocation hall with the names of the students, staff, and alumni who did not return from the First and Second World Wars.
