George and 2 Brimhall

BYA High School Class of 1880. George Henry Brimhall. He was one of the first graduates of the BYA. Brimhall also served as Fourth Principal of Brigham Young High School Principal from 1895 to 1900. He studied at the Timpanogos Branch of the University of Deseret in Provo, a predecessor of both the University of Utah and Brigham Young Academy. The Timpanogos Branch was a Provo high school extension of the school that became the University of Utah; after financial problems forced the closure of its Provo branch, it reopened the next year on January 3, 1876, with the same principal [Warren Dusenberry] in the same building [Lewis Hall] but with a new name: Brigham Young Academy. ~ ~ ~ ~ Faculty & Staff. Theology, Pedagogy, and Psychology teacher, 1897-1932. He appears in a photo of the first faculty to serve under Principal Benjamin Cluff in 1892. Fourth Principal of BY Academy 1895 to 1900. From 1900 to 1904 N. L. Nelson became Principal of BY High School. Brimhall became President of Brigham Young University from 1904 until 1921. Students under Brimhall remembered his tenure as "the good old Brimhall days." This is intended as a compliment to the spirit and personality of George H. Brimhall, for he breathed into the school a special charisma which people never forgot. He was particularly known for his short, pithy talks at devotionals. Ezra Taft Benson has written "No man has so inspired me with so few spoken words as has President Brimhall in his famous four-minute assembly talks." The President was equally impressive in his full dissertations. Often when speaking to the students he was both intense and dramatic and could either inspire them or evoke tender pathos or a sense of horrific guilt, illustrated in an incident reported by J. Edward Johnson, who describes a real "scorcher" given by Brimhall after a rash of pilfering had hit the student body at BYU. Brimhall was particularly incensed over the theft of a watch from a gym locker. "None who heard him would ever forget how small, little, unbelievably diminutive he made that thief." With dramatic pauses Brimhall said that if the culprit had "even so much as a trace of conscience and character every tick of that watch would say to him, 'thief." 'Thief, thief; thief, thief; thief, thief.'" He suggested that perhaps the guilty person might want to return the watch. The story goes that when he came into his office early the following morning, Brimhall found several watches on his desk. George H. Brimhall was a strong and compelling personality with wide versatility in talent and achievement. In terms of his time and culture he must be credited with high marks for his devotion to Brigham Young Academy and BYU, the Church, and the state. While rearing 14 children, presiding over the Church University, and serving on the Church Board of Examiners, he still found time to write, teach, preach, and counsel. He not only guided the University through some of its most difficult times, but also guided students in choosing the paths they would follow in life. "The school depends not on man, or any set of men. God planted it and we are but gardeners to take care of it." —George H. Brimhall Born: December 9, 1852 in Salt Lake City. Died: July 29, 1932 in Provo, Utah. Father: George Washington Brimhall (1814–1895); Mother: Rachel Ann Myers (1829–1917). Families: A~~ Alsina Elizabeth Wilkins (1856–1926) md. December 28, 1874 - 1. Lucy Jane (1875–1957); 2. Alsina Elizabeth (1876–1960); 3. [unnamed] (b. ca. 1878); 4. George Washington (1878–1854); 5. Mark Henry (1880–1965); 6. Wells Lovett (1882–1947); 7. Milton Albert (1883–1884). B~~ Flora McDonald Robertson (1865–1950) md. September 11,1885 - 1. Dean Robertson (1886–1972); 2. Fay Robertson (1889–1972); 3. Fawn Robertson (1889–1960); 4. Burns Robertson (1892–1976); 5. Ruth Afton (1895–1965); 6. Alta Robertson (1901–1903); 7. Areo Robertson (1909–1990); 8. One living (Ancestral File). Despite dire financial conditions, George's mother was determined that he get an education. He attended school in Ogden, Salt Lake, Cedar Fort, southern Utah, and Spanish Fork. When a high school was started in Provo —- the Dusenberry school on Second East, then known as Timpanogos University -- George worked odd jobs to pay for his board. When he couldn't find work, the family sacrificed, despite hard financial times, so he could attend. Then, 42 young men decided it would be a good idea to have a high school in Spanish Fork and they contributed $15 each in work and funds. They brought logs down from Santaquin Canyon. In 40 days they had a big house-raising with the whole community present. They called it the Young Men's Academy but women came too. His first wife attended. Tom Beesley taught the first, and Brimhall taught the next two or three years, incuding Algebra, Bookkeeping, Grammar, History, and Elocution. Brimhall became Spanish Fork's superintendent of schools for two terms, then County School Superintendent for two years. He was authorized to be ordained a patriarch by LDS Church apostles in 1887. In 1897 George joined the Brigham Young Academy faculty. When Brigham Young Academy President George Cluff took an expedition to South America in 1900, Brimhall was named acting president, and then succeeded Cluff in 1904. In 1903 the academy had become Brigham Young University. Brimhall introduced the B.S. program in 1904 and the B.A. in 1907. The Maeser Memorial was completed in 1911. It was also the year that a conflict between orthodox church teachings, and evolution and higher criticism, came to a head, leading to the dismissal or resignation of Joseph and Henry Peterson, and Ralph Chamberlain. Brimhall had hired the three and was sympathetic toward the professors, but Superintendent of Church Schools Horace Cummings was determined to rid BYU of "modernists". Despite severe chest and abdominal pain, which he suffered throughout his life, George Brimhall served seventeen years as President of BYU — until 1921. In that year, at age eighty, he took his own life with a hunting rifle. ~~~~ George Henry Brimhall (1853-1932) was the son of George Washington Brimhall (b.1814) and (2) Rachel Ann Mayer (b.1829) of Iron Co., Utah Territory. He married (1) Alsina Elizabeth Wilkins (d.1926), the daughter of George Washington Wilkins and Catherine Augusta Lovett in 1874. He married (2) Flora Robertson in 1885. He was the father of 15 children. He served as an instructor and principal at Brigham Young Academy, and later as a President of Brigham Young University (1904-1921). [Brief profile in The Sons of Brigham by T. Earl Pardoe, 1969, pp. 15-25.] ~ ~ ~ ~ In connection with Brigham Young Academy Commencement in May of 1899, an Alumni Banquet was held at the Hotel Roberts in Provo with about two hundred people attending. Four alumni spoke about different periods of time in the life of the Academy. "Prof. G. H. Brimhall brought the narration from '92 to '99. In 1892 the institution was removed from the old warehouse to the present main [Education] building, and in 1899 it 'swarmed' again to the new college. Furthermore, the parent institution has sent out several healthy colonies." Source: Deseret Evening News, May 27, 1899. [The other three speakers: Mrs. Hannah Stubbs Jones, J. Golden Kimball, and Newton Noyes.]
