Webster, this is due primarily to their dependence upon the benevolance of their parent churches and private contributors. This is particularly true of Westminster College. Considering the difficulties and obstacles faced in the beginning by those who sought to establish this institution, it is incredible that their efforts were successful. This success is due to a number of dedicated individuals who were responsible for Westminsters very prosperity and survival. This is still the case today. The need for a college to complete the educational pattern of the Protestant mission schools in Utah had long been argued by Presbyterian leaders. The argument for a college in Salt Lake City was based on three premises: ( 1 ) a competing institution to stimulate the state institutions and provide education for those who would not attend state schools; (2) a means for combatting Mormon influence, especially after statehood was achieved (Protestants would no longer have the protection of Federal laws or the cooperation of the government n Washington; and (3) a strategically located school ittracting students from the entire Intermountain region rom Colorado to California because Protestant mission chools were graduating an increasing number of youths.
