  • Ricks College Becomes Brigham Young University–I
    A CASE STUDY OF ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING AND TRANSITIONS IN HIGHER EDUCATION: RICKS COLLEGE BECOMES BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY–IDAHO A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy with a Major in Education in the College of Graduate Studies University of Idaho by LaNae Hammon Poulter November 15, 2007 Major Professor: Roger L. Scott, Ph.D. iii ABSTRACT This qualitative case study takes advantage of the opportunity to focus on organizational learning during a season of change in higher education as Ricks College became Brigham Young University–Idaho. This case investigates an organization dedicated to higher education which is experiencing rapid and extreme change in its physical, institutional, and human infrastructure. Open-ended questioning during interviews and focus groups inductively led to a view of the grand tour question: “How was organizational learning demonstrated during times of extreme change and the ongoing transition of becoming Brigham Young University–Idaho?” The researcher listened to 27 participants and wove their stories together to present a tapestry of the transition. Participants described their mixed response to the announcement that Ricks College would become BYU–Idaho. Then the purposefully selected administrators, faculty, staff, students, and community leader shared their experiences of the first five years as BYU–Idaho. Interrelated aspects of the transition guided the discussion: (1) faculty, (2) budget, (3) space, (4) degree programs, (5) support services, and (6) students. Even though the participants share common values as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, these adults learned individually to adapt to a changing world.

  • The Secret Mormon Meetings of 1922
    University of Nevada, Reno THE SECRET MORMON MEETINGS OF 1922 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History By Shannon Caldwell Montez C. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D. / Thesis Advisor December 2019 Copyright by Shannon Caldwell Montez 2019 All Rights Reserved UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA RENO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by SHANNON CALDWELL MONTEZ entitled The Secret Mormon Meetings of 1922 be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS C. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D., Advisor Cameron B. Strang, Ph.D., Committee Member Greta E. de Jong, Ph.D., Committee Member Erin E. Stiles, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December 2019 i Abstract B. H. Roberts presented information to the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January of 1922 that fundamentally challenged the entire premise of their religious beliefs. New research shows that in addition to church leadership, this information was also presented during the neXt few months to a select group of highly educated Mormon men and women outside of church hierarchy. This group represented many aspects of Mormon belief, different areas of eXpertise, and varying approaches to dealing with challenging information. Their stories create a beautiful tapestry of Mormon life in the transition years from polygamy, frontier life, and resistance to statehood, assimilation, and respectability. A study of the people involved illuminates an important, overlooked, underappreciated, and eXciting period of Mormon history.

  • Berryville From: Utah Place Names
    Berryville from: Utah Place Names BERRYVILLE* (Kane County). See Glendale* below. GLENDALE* (Kane County) is on US-89 in Long Valley along the upper Virgin River. Four miles south is Orderville*. After being settled in 1862 by a party of settlers led by John and William Berry from Kanarraville*, Glendale was named Berryville* as the first settlement in the valley. At that time, Long Valley was called Berry Valley. Of those first settlers, Robert Berry and his wife Isabella were murdered by the Indians, and in 1866 Berryville was abandoned. In 1871, members of the Muddy Mission in Nevada resettled Long Valley. Led by James Leithead, the group settled on the old Berryville townsite and renamed it Glendale because of the beautiful surroundings. Another version of the naming of Glendale states that the name came from their leader and first bishop, who was reminded of his home in Scotland. Today it is a beautiful and stable community known for its scenic surroundings. >S23,T40S,R7W,SLM; 5,824' (1,775m). Bibliography: Jenson, Andrew.

  • “Prophet, Seer and Revelator”In Mormonism
    Midwestern Journal of Theology 9.2 (Fall 2010):145-172 The Role of “Prophet, Seer and Revelator”in Mormonism SANDRA TANNER Utah Lighthouse Ministries Salt Lake City, Utah, [email protected] For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. (Matthew 24:24 NKJ) Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. (I John 4:1 NKJ) At the April, 2009 annual conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Thomas Monson was formally set apart as the “Prophet, Seer and Revelator” of the church.1 Sandra Tanner and her late husband Jerald Tanner (both ex- Mormons) are founders of Utah Lighthouse Ministries, an Evangelical ministry to Mormons. Together and separately they have written numerous books on Mormon history and Doctrine. 1 Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “The Sustaining of Church Officers,” Ensign (May 2009): 27. TANNER: Prophet, Seer, Revelator 146 Fig. 1: LDS President Thomas Monson But what does this title mean and how does it function in Mormonism? Do the LDS leaders claim their revelatory process is distinct from the spiritual guidance received by a minister in answer to his prayers? Joseph Smith founded his church on April 6, 1830. However, at that time it was called the Church of Christ, not receiving its current name until 1838. On that spring day in 1830 Smith announced that through revelation he had been designated as God’s prophet, seer, translator, revelator, and apostle.2 Today Mormon literature usually shortens those titles to simply “prophet, seer and revelator.” Verse five of that early revelation instructed Smith’s followers to accept his words as if from God’s “own mouth.” Today I want to focus on each of the three designations given to the president of the LDS Church.

  • John Taylor's Introduction of the Sugar Beet Industry in Deseret
    Bitter Sweet: John Taylor's Introduction of the Sugar Beet Industry in Deseret By MARY JANE WOODGER ince the mid-1800s, rumors have circulated that Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints president Brigham Young and his successor, John Taylor, did not get along. This position could be supported by the record of a heated discussion that took place Sduring a meeting on March 17, 1853. The minutes reveal that Young accused Taylor of knowing no more of business "than a mere stranger," not knowing "that a million doUars is worth a red cent," being as "wild in [his] calculations as a man can be," and "manifest[ing] the spirit of an old English lord." After Young hurled these accusations, Taylor rebuffed, "I am as independent as any other man in my way, and I know the respect that is due to your Notes and drawing probably office and calling in the Kingdom of God; made by John Taylor showing but, no man has the authority, in any position sugar-making equipment he had that he may hold, to cram a thing down my studied in France. Mary Jane Woodger is assistant professor of Church History and Doctrine, Brigham Young University. 247 UTAH HISTORICAL QUARTERLY throat that is not so."1 The story that brought this argument to a head began in 1849. During the church's general conference in October, Young called forty-two-year- old Taylor to open France to the spreading of the Mormon gospel, translate the Book of Mormon into French, and look for "new ideas, new enterpris­ es, and new establishments..
