Pershing ne hundred years ago, John A. Widtsoe, president of the University of Utah, declared that he hoped to see “this institution enter into the very life of our state; to help solve its problems, to Opoint its way, to help bear its burdens as well as to share in its prosperity…” It was understood then, as it is today, the responsibility of the flagship institution extends beyond its classrooms and laboratories. The University of Utah has become a world-class research and teaching institution, an engine of economic prosperity, and a provider of nationally recognized medical care. The U plays an integral role within the state, as was hoped, but the university’s positive influence now has a global impact. The success of the University of Utah is reliant on the responsible stewardship of intellectual, physical, and financial resources. We gratefully acknowledge critical contributions made by the residents and elected leaders of this state, as well as the Utah State Board of Regents and our Board of Trustees. The U excels because of their support.
