EARLY four decades have passed, since the 16th day of October, 1875, when the Brigham Young Academy, now the Brigham Young Uni- versity, held its opening session. Our first ten years were spent in Lewis Hall, a two-story brick building, which site is now occupied by the Farmers and Merchants ' Bank. Those who put time and money into the erection of that building had no idea that it would ever be used for a school. It was an amusement hall up stairs, with a stage at the end. Down stairs it was a dry goods store. When Dr. Maeser, with his two assistants, and his little band of earnest students, (the original twenty-nine), first invaded that build- ing, they made the amusement hall a house of prayer by day, and at night dedicated it to lectures and wholesome amusements. The curtain was retained and the stage converted into a class room. Accounts from early students tell us that mice and bats held high carnival there by night, and not infrequently during the day, some mouse, braver than his fellows, would sally forth to the dismay of the ladies and utter destruction of discipline of the school. But all this was of small moment for the great teacher was there, as also a class of students with whom large exchange of soul was possible. Every decade of the history of the institution has produced good and efficient business men, but the first decade is marked by the presence of these persons who are first among our statesmen, college presidents, and lawyers. Senator Reed Smoot and Senator George Sutherland are of this number, also Judge William H. King, who served in the lower house of Congress. James E. Talmage has stood as Chief Executive both of the L. D. S. Uni- versity and of the University of Utah. Dr. Benjamin Cluff, Jr., was the second president of the Brigham Young University, while Joseph M. Tanner served as president both of the B. Y. College, and the State Agricultural College, of Logan. George H. Brimhall is president of the Brigham Young University. Added to the names of the two eminent lawyers who have represented us in Congress we would add the names of Judge Scimuel R. Thurman and Judge Joshua Greenwood. The major part of the time of the second decade was spent in the Z. C. M. L Ware House, at the foot of Academy Avenue. Fire had consumed Lewis Hall and for a brief period we were homed in the basement of the old tabernacle cind in S. S. Jones ' store on Academy Avenue. But the Ware House became our permanent home — that strange rectangular building, without ornament or architectural design, built for a packing house, its red bricks dulled long ago by the smoke of passing engines. Partitions were placed within the building, that suitable rooms for devotional exercises and class recitations might be provided. Many will recall those old class rooms, with their white pine board partitions on three sides, and windows let in the sun in roughest possible manner. Nothing could present a greater contrast than the class room at the old Ware House, and the class room in the Maeser Memorial. At the Memorial every touch of wood and every window is an ornament ; at the Ware House every win- dow and every touch of wood shocked one ' s sense of finish. None ever there will 12
