One clue would be in the three-volume set, They Gladly Taught, published by BYU beginning about 25 years ago. I’ll have to check the next time I’m in Utah to see whether any of the people in the ads show up in those books.

Parshall Tue, 29 May 2012 17:12:21 +0000 http://www.keepapitchinin.org/?p=18110#comment-227131 I think L. John Nuttall’s name (or at least LJN, Sr.) would have been familiar to the Church at large, but I don’t know any of the other names. Some of them may have been notable in their time, though, as speakers, or maybe authors of magazine authors. Would be an interesting project to find out.

Tue, 29 May 2012 15:21:12 +0000 http://www.keepapitchinin.org/?p=18110#comment-227097 That “Alpine Session” would have been up at Aspen Grove, on the road above Sundance on the north side of Mt. Timpanogas. That would be a nice place to spend August–although I wonder how much studying–at least of books–would get done. I can imagine enjoying some practical astronomy–with the right study partner, that is.

And it’s interesting to see them advertising “Leadership Week”–the precursor (“curse” being the operative word) of Education Week–for January. I’m surprised that they had room for that in the middle of their winter term.

They kept changing the layout and typeface and look of the ads — this was definitely back in the days before branding was practically a science. (A number of years ago I asked my daughter if she knew what branding was. She replied, “slapping your logo on the side of a cow.”)

I’m heading to the Provo Library (“Education Building” old BY Academy) for an event this evening.
