The story of the university, as seen from the historical data by the catalogue, is one of interest and color. At the time of its founding- by President Brigham Young in 1875, classes were held in a mercantile building which later burned and necessitated moving instruction quarters to a Z. C. M. I. warehouse. Today the B. Y. TJ. consists of an upper and lower campus including eight buildings, nearly one hundred acres of land, and a large stadium. The Alpine Summer School campus cam-pus is located seventeen miles up Provo Canyon, where the school now has a number of permanent buildings. Entrants requirements of the university as specified by the catalogue cat-alogue are 16 units of high school work. Graduation requirements for bachelor of arts or sciences are 186 hours of specified college work. Master of arts or sciences degree requirements are 48 hours of graduate gra-duate work and a thesis. . The Heber J. Grant Library which had 17,000 books in 1921, now has 75,000 volumes and 50,000 bulletins and pamphlets. Each jj year it is strengthened along spec- ialized lines through contributions j of books to its many special collec- E tions. I |
