Karl G. Maeser was the
second principal of Brigham Young Academy and served from 1876 until 1892.
Under Maeser Brigham Young Academy established itself as one of the leading
schools in Utah territory. The curriculum continually expanded to meet the
ever-changing and ever-increasing needs of local and regional education. But
the uniqueness of the school lay not in its academic emphasis but in its
religious foundation. Maeser placed the development of character above the
development of intellect. He taught his students that lessons themselves were
not the most important part of learning, but that if a student accepted an
assignment it became "a matter of honor to be prepared if you have to sit up
all night." He did not teach the subject as much as he taught the student. In
matters of morals and religious conduct, he saw things as black and white. He
devised for Brigham Young Academy an intricate system of rules, regulations,
and academic routine all designed to form habits of proper conduct.
This collection contains two boxes of
photocopied correspondence and one box of microfilm that document Karl G.
Maeser's administration of Brigham Young Academy and his involvement with the
Church Educational System.
