History

Danforth Chapel was completed in 1949 with funds donated by Mr. & Mrs. William Danforth. This charming Gothic chapel seats 65 and attracts visitors who appreciate its relaxing interior for a few minutes of quiet meditation. The beautiful stained glass windows were donated and imported from Czechoslovakia, England, France, Germany and Italy.

All Faiths Chapel, built in 1956, seats just under 500 and was dedicated as "a memorial to the Kansas State men who made the supreme sacrifice in World War II and Korea." Exceptional care was taken in the design of the chapel to achieve proper acoustical balance for solo instruments and string quartets while assuring sufficient resonance for organ music. In 1961, a 40 rank, pipe organ was installed, one of the finest in the Midwest.
