Title	[Mr. and Mrs. J. Willard Marriott at the dedication of the Marriott Center, February 3, 1973]
Description	The official dedication of the Marriott Center was a two-day event, February 3 and 4, 1973. On Saturday night Mr. and Mrs. J. Willard Marriott attended a basketball game in which BYU defeated the University of Utah. The couple was photographed at the game with President and Mrs. Dallin H. Oaks, left, and Ben E. Lewis, BYU executive vice-president, lifelong friend who formerly was associated with the Marriott enterprises. On the following day the formal dedication ceremonies were held, with many Church dignitaries participating. Others singled out for recognition during the halftime of the basketball game were Dr. DaCosta Clark, chairman of the fund-raising committee; Stan Watts, BYU athletic chairman and former basketball coach for twenty years, whose teams filled both the Fieldhouse and the Marriott Center; Sam Brewster, director of the Physical Plant Department; Dr. Ernest L. Wilkinson, former president of BYU for twenty years, under whose administration the building was started; and Ben E. Lewis.
