  • Brigham Young Academy was founded in 1875 and became a university in 1903 under President Benjamin Cluff. The university now boasts approximately 30,000 students from all fifty states and 100 countries. Contains loose and compiled volumes of the university's quarterly catalogue for each semester, summer school, and the home study program from 1905-1956. Included also are assorted department and school quarterly catalogues, individual course catalogues and schedules, and special historical or commemorative editions. Brigham Young University traces its roots to Utah's rich pioneer heritage. The original school, Brigham Young Academy, was established Oct. 16, 1875, on a little over one acre of land in what is now downtown Provo. At that time, Brigham Young, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, charged that all secular learning at the institution should be fused with teachings from the scriptures. Speaking to Academy Principal Karl G. Maeser, President Young said, "Brother Maeser, I want you to remember that you ought not to teach even the alphabet or the multiplication tables without the Spirit of God." BYU has remained true to that original charge.Despite steady growth during its early years, the academy was threatened by a series of financial and physical setbacks. With the help and sacrifice of Abraham O. Smoot, the campus moved in 1891 to new facilities located on University Avenue.The academy's curriculum strengthened and enrollment grew. In 1903, the name was officially changed to Brigham Young University. Work began in 1909 on the Maeser Memorial Building, the first of many structures on the university's present site.Successive university administrations oversaw the university's progressive growth, increasing both the number of buildings and the size of the student body. The university's academic development was signified by the inauguration of the school's first doctoral program in 1957. With the help of committed presidents, the university continued to grow, refine its mission and pursue excellence in academics and faith.Today, under the leadership of President Cecil O. Samuelson, the university remains dedicated to the integration of academic excellence with faith in Jesus Christ and His restored gospel. This collection contains copies of the University's quarterly catalogue for each semester beggining in 1905 through 1956. The quarterlies contain a history of the university and of the departments and schools individually. They give a description of the courses offered that quarter along with general information on registration and, fees, graduation, etc. The same is given for both summer school and the home study program.The assorted quarterly catalogues for the various departments and schools of the university are similar to the general edition.

The special editions generally commemorate important individuals or events that contributed significantly to the growth and success Brigham Young University.The bound volumes are compiled collections of select loose volumes and generally cover a span of years.
