St. Paul's Chapel (Columbia University)

St. Paul's Chapel (Columbia University)

. St. Paul's Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ is renowned for its fine tone.

Many religious groups use the chapel throughout the week for their meetings. It is also popular for weddings. Several non-religious student groups also use the chapel. The most notable of these are the student magazine "The Blue and White" as well as Postcrypt Coffeehouse, a folk music venue, weekly featuring live music. The basement of the chapel houses the Postcrypt Art Gallery. At commencement, the university uses St. Paul's for a Baccalaureate Service to commemorate graduates' achievements.

St. Paul's is referred to in the "Eyewitness Guide to New York" as "Columbia's most spectacular building". One scene in the 1996 romantic comedy "The Mirror Has Two Faces" takes place at an organ recital in St. Paul's.
