An exhibit marking the 100th anniversary of Brigham Young College's closure will open April 23 in the Merrill‑Cazier Library atrium at Utah State University. Logan's Lost College: Remembering Brigham Young College 100 Years Later explores the history and legacy of the Logan‑based institution, which operated from 1877 to 1926.

Drawing from the library's Special Collections, the exhibit traces the historical arc of Brigham Young College (BYC) through photographs, publications, correspondence, and institutional records. Materials highlight academic programs, student life, and the college's role in shaping education in northern Utah, as well as the circumstances that led to its closure.

The exhibit invites visitors to reflect on BYC's educational legacy and on what it meant for the community to lose a deeply rooted institution.

Join the Reception on April 23rd

An opening reception will be held April 23 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. in the Merrill‑Cazier Library atrium. The exhibit will run through June 12 and is free and open to the public.
