Members of the Chapel committee were present, along with university faculty, staff, students and fellow Oxonians, who watched in anticipation of the long-awaited campus addition. The addition of the Pari s- Yates Chapel to the university community not only adds one more beautiful building to our campus, but gives faculty and students of all faiths a place to come together and worship freely, said Ryan Wally, sophomore Biology major from McComb, who also attended the dedication ceremony. Among those present at the dedication were Chancellor Robert Khayat and The Reverend Ruth Black, Director of Pastoral Services, and Faculty of the School of Medicine at The University of Mississippi Medical Center. Black gave the benediction of the chapel, which was followed by a performance of the Ole Miss Alma Mater by Jean -ROBERT JORDAN Jordan, Co-Chair of the Chapel Committee. The Mississippi Brass Ensemble and The University of Mississippi Concert Singers provided musical presentations throughout the dedication ceremony. Following the ceremony, an organ presentation was given by Warren Steel, Associate Professor of Music, as well as a tour of the chapel. According to the Paris-Yates Chapel and Peddle Bell Tower Dedication booklet, a Chapel Fund was created in 1975 after Ole Miss students expressed an interest in making the chapel their charitable goal. Chancellor Porter L. Fortune, Jr. appointed a chapel committee in 1976 to begin planning. As quoted in the dedication booklet, the Paris-Yates Chapel provides a spiritual home on our campus where members of the Ole Miss family may seek peace, guidance, trust and wisdom, equipping them for leadership in Mississippi and our world in the 21st century. -WRITTEN BY KATHLEEM HILLMAN Chapel Dedication St Lyceum Rakdkation
