Kimball ' s visit l Y ' friends As a BYU student, we have the opportuni- ty to make friends of classmates, teachers and leaders. One such friend to many BYU stu- dents, is President Spencer Woolley Kimball, 12th president and prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. President Kimball is also the chairman of the Church Board of Education, an organization that oversees nearly 376,000 students, Brigham Young University students being an important part of this extensive educational system. Each fall. President and Sister Kimball arrive on the campus to address members of the stu- dent body and are often greeted by a spontane- ous musical tribute of 26,000 voices singing We Thank Thee Oh God For A Prophet. A true friend, guide and support to the Uni- versity community, President Kimbal] has chal- lenged students, teachers and administrators alike to make BYU an educational Mt. Ever- est. =
