Brigham Young College papers

Scope and Content:

The Brigham Young College photograph collection is made up of a photo album, a scrapbook, and a few loose images. The photo album consists of images of the B.Y.C. campus, administrators, athletic teams, class portraits, theatrical events, the band, and the orchestra. It also contains a few B.Y.C. documents such as bulletins, commencement programs, and diplomas as well as photographs of the class banners. The scrapbook contains published images of different campus buildings, newspaper clippings about the college, class songs, and written memoirs. The scrapbook was compiled by Ada E. England Morrell, a member of the class of 1905. The loose images consist of the 1901 B.Y.C. basketball team, graduates, and the B.Y.C. class of 1897.

Historical Note:

Brigham Young College was established in 1877 after Brigham Young set up an endowment in the form of 9,642 acres of land to support the school. Brigham Young desired a school that would not only give a practical education in the fields of mechanical and domestic arts, agriculture, and industrial training, but also teach the doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The college offered a varied curriculum during its existence including preparatory, normal high school, and college-level courses. As an institution of secondary education, BYC was best known for its three year teaching certificate. After 1909, however, it began to cut back its college courses and eventually it taught only high school and normal school courses. The college also faced trouble in the form of competition from the Utah Agricultural College as well as local high schools. In 1926 the LDS Church decided to shut the doors of the BYC.
