Notes
  • The Brigham Young Academy faculty in 1888. Seated, left to right: Joseph B. Keeler, Ottilie Maeser, Karl G. Maeser, Laura Foote, N. L. Nelson; standing: E. B. Isgreen, A. L. Booth, Hyrum Anderson. A period of great distress to the Academy came after the fire--a time referred to in later years by Principle Maeser as "those dark days," when the school could not pay its rent and the teachers did not receive their meager salaries. There were times when the Board, not knowing where to get funds to run the school, considered closing it. It was then that Professor Maeser and his faculty showed their intense loyalty and taught for anything that might be had rather than close the school. Since President A. O. Smoot and President Harvey H. Cluff were members of both the Utah Stake Presidency and the BYA Board, they provided moral and spiritual support for the school, starting several programs in the stake to raise money. In the winter of 1887, to bolster a shrinking enrollment, President Smoot asked each member in attendance at a Utah Stake priesthood meeting to pay the tuition of at least one student at the Academy. A striking example of the response was A. L. Booth, who was teaching his first year at the Academy at a salary of $20 a month and who paid a quarter's tuition for one student. An effort was made to obtain help from the Church, but the Church itself was lacking in funds and could make only small contributions. It was in March of that same year that Congress passed the Edmonds-Tucker Law disincorporating the Church, dissolving the Perpetual Emigration Fund Company, and escheating their property to the United States government. The Church occupied the Tithing Office, the historian's office, the Gardo House, and Temple Block by paying rent to the U.S. government!
