In a departure from traditional dedication ceremonies , the day's' events included a concert performed by a specially formed college-community- chorus.. The chorus performed iiieethoven's' "C" Major Mass"" and "The" 100th Psalm"" by Ralph Vaughan Williams.. The chorus was accompanied!) by the Millersville College- -¬ ty Orchestra..
