Karl G

This address was delivered at Brigham Young Academy’s first Founders Day exercises. President Maeser recounted how Brigham Young Academy began with the revelation to Brigham Young of “the necessity for the establishment of a new kind of educational institution for Zion.” The new educational system was not merely to duplicate existing models, for “following . . . in the old grooves would simply lead to the same results.” Brigham Young Academy was to be unique. At BYA “neither the alphabet nor the multiplication tables should be taught without the Spirit of God.” “The spirit of the latter-day work” was to go through the academy “like a golden thread.” Karl G. Maeser served as president of Brigham Young Academy from 1876 to 1892. Access the talk here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
