LeGrand Richards was an Apostle in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The residence hall was built in 1958 and was the first building built on central campus. Bullen Hall followed soon after, and Mountain View and Valley View Towers, as well as the Junction, all located on central campus, were built in the late '60s. Ray B. West The Ray B. West building, which currently houses the English department, was originally the home of the engineering department, Parson said. It was built in 1918 and was named after the dean of the college. "Ray B. West was the dean of the College of Engineering. He started working for the university in 1916 and was packed out feet first in 1933," he said. West died in 1933, but the building was not named after him until the 1980s. Merrill Cazier Library The current library building was built in 2005, in the area across from where it was, and grew to encompass the Cazier sci-tech library, which is now adjacent to the building. Milton R. Merrill was a professor and an administrator for 40 years, and the old library was named after him. Merrill was originally a professor in political science, in the school of commerce, Parson said. Merrill started working for the university in 1926 and became the department head. In 1950, he became the dean of the school of business and social science, and received his doctorate a year later from Columbia University. Merrill became the university's first vice president in 1959, under President Daryl Chase. He and Chase retired at the same time, Parson said. Stanford Cazier was the 12th president of the university and was selected after Glen L. Taggart retired in 1979. Cazier had worked at USU for quite a time as a history professor and as Taggart's assistant, Parson said. In an 1986 interview, Taggart said he was told Cazier "would not remain in an assistant's position more than five years before he would be appointed to the presidency of some other institution." Three years after he was hired as Taggart's assistant, Cazier took a job as the head of University of California-Chico in 1971. He was president there for eight years and was then selected as USU's president, Parson said. Cazier - — [e-mail] US: Who is you best friend at USU? US: Do you have any siblings?

Sunrise Midwifery Services Chase Fine Arts Center The Chase Fine Arts Center was a "huge undertaking that launched the institution on the road to being a school for fine arts and music," Parson said. Before the center was built in 1967, he said, the arts had no building or home of their own. The building was named after Chase, who served as USU president from 1954-1968, which was a time of huge growth for the university, Parson said. Student enrollment increased by 250 percent, and the faculty staff grew from 370 to 600. A Warmer Life's Dawning Launa Campbell, Midwife [phone] Serving families in Idaho & Utah.

"Some of them have disappeared, and I think Lund will probably disappear, too, to make way for a new business building." Lund Hall was named after Anthon H. Lund, who was a member of the board when USU was founded. "He was sort of one of the founders of this institution," Parson said. Lund hall was originally a women's residence hall, built in 1938 by the university. In 1936, a study found that much of the student housing in Logan lacked heating and bathrooms, were incompletely or unattractively furnished, overcrowded and lacked privacy, he said. The study recommended there be a housing office that make an approved housing brochure, but the office wasn't created until nearly 20 years later. Edith Bowen School The lab school housed on campus, named after Edith Bowen for the work she did in Logan and other areas, was built in 2003. Bowen was a friend of Emma Eccles, and Parson said it was Eccles who probably donated the money for the school to be built. Bowen and Eccles went to Columbia University and Eccles came to Utah and started a preschool, which was originally housed in the Whittier School, now the Whittier Center. The School of Education under the leadership of Arthur Saxer leased the Whittier School from Logan School district. The original Edith Bowen school was built in 1957 and named for Bowen. The buildings on campus all have stories, much like the people who they are named after, who had worked there and who had attended classes in them. The buildings keep coming, and the names will too. — [e-mail] Doula services available. Initial Consultations Free. Saturday appointments available.
