on the advantages Of the location OF
the University, the pamphlet says in
part;
THE University Is located in the very
conter OF the famous and beautiful city
which is the capital Of this state and
the metropolis Of this region; AZ the
headquarters OF the Church and within
the shadow Of the Temple: In the heart
OF the industrial, social, religious, and
political activity OF these progressive
Western communities convenient Of
access from every part OF the city, In
Guiding the extended suburbs, with
street-car communication that enables
the student 10 reach his class rooms In
few minutes from any part OF the
city, with railway lines radlatlng In
every direction from the stations near
by; and yet, withal. In a comparatively
quiet spot, within half a mile Of City
Creek canyon and the mountains. This
location is peculiarly adapted for the
purposes Of education study and
healthful activity The location Is
really an ideal one, quiet, central, con-
yonient. Facing the Temple block on
the west the beautiful lawns, walks,
and gardens Of those superb grounds
are always accessible to our students,
being separated from the University
grounds by the width only of one quiet
street. On the north OF Temple block
the clear. dashlng waters OF City Creek
canyon flow In an open channel which
Il covered on the street opposite the
University grounds, On the same side,
the hills rise quickly to the mountains
near by: half a block east Is the site Of
n fine public school. one block south
are the largest commercial houses and
banks Of Main street. The location is
al once quiet and picturesque. the view
from every side Is inspiring, aud each
natural and artificial feature OF the
surroundings seems to have conspired
to make this place the Ideal location
for great Institution Of learning IN
the center OF the metropolis of this
state and region. The very atmos-
phere seems astir with life and ANNA
ton. Here. II anywhere on earth, can
the young man or woman get good
beginning In an honorable career"
The Latter-day Saints have always
cxerted themselves to the utmost, In or
der to give the growing generation the
very best educational facilities the
circumstances would permit The Lat
ter-day Saints University Is but one
monument among many TO this com
mendable characteristic Of the people
commonly called "Mormons." They
are found In every settlement, and par.
ticularly in the larger cities. II is a
natural fruit Of a faith that calls foi
knowledge and Independent thought II
its followers and that holds intellgenc,
to be the very essence Of the glory Of
God.
We need not recommend the Latter
day Saints University TO the genera
public, It has history that speaks
for itself. It's corps Of teachers arr
well known for ability and energy
and the results achieved in the pas
are q sufficient guaranty for the fu
ture.
