The University of Utah

BY DR. J. T. KINGSBURY, PRESIDENT

[In answer to questions received, relating to the University of Utah, its mission and aims, and especially its facilities for giving voca- tional and classical training, this article was solicited as information for young people seeking a college education. — Editors.]

The University of Utah, established in 1850 by the pioneers, is the leading, higher educational institution of the state. It was established for the whole people of the state, and it belongs to no part of the state, and to no class of people of the state. It belongs to the whole state, and to all the people of the state. Its work is eminently practical, preparing people for all the walks of life.

In the Arts and Science School, the University prepares young men and young women for good citizenship, to see life in its broadest and noblest aspects, and for life's greatest and grandest work, that of service to one's fellow man. It gives a preparation for a business life and lays a broad foundation for the various professions in life.

In the School of Mines, it gives special instruction for prepar- ation in mining engineering, mechanical engineering, civil en- gineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, irrigation engineering, and general engineering.

In the School of Education, it gives instruction for the prep- aration of teachers in all the departments of the public schools. It gives instruction in agriculture for the preparation of agricul- tural teachers in all the grades. It gives instruction in domestic science, domestic art, manual training and other industries for the preparation of teachers in these subjects. It co-operates with the Agricultural College in the preparation of teachers in agriculture for the high schools of the state. In fact, its business in the School of Education is to prepare teachers in all subjects author- ized by law for the public schools of the state.

In the School of Law, it gives a complete course for which a degree in law is given.

In the School of Medicine, the University offers the first two years of a complete course in medicine, and the best medical schools in the United States accept the work herein accomplished.

The Engineering department of the United States govern- ment accepts the graduates from the Mining School into its service without examination. All the work of the University is accepted by the leading universities of the country.

Young men and voting women from all vocations in life come

to the University of Utah for an education. That it is eminently democratic in its clientage is shown by the fact that at least twenty per cent of its students are paying their own way through the institution entirely, and at least seventy-five per cent are meeting their expenses while in the institution, either wholly or in part.

The University of Utah is now making rapid progress, and it is without doubt the greatest factor in the state for material welfare as well as for moral and intellectual advancement. Its work is favorably recognized throughout the entire country.

As the University belongs to all the people of the state, every citizen of Utah should be proud of its attainments and give it his strongest and warmest support. No young man or young woman need go outside of the state for a college education in any of the courses offered in the schools of the University ; for, all the work given in the University is up to standard. Besides, Utah young men and young women intending to locate in Utah will do better by getting their education at home and thereby becoming widely acquainted in their own state through meeting students from all parts of the state ; for, the more widely acquainted any one is in his own state, the more chances he will have to do well in whatever vocation that he may decide to follow.
