Yesterday’s answer:
(C) Young University
During the early 1890’s the Church decided
to form Young University which was renamed University of The Church Of Jesus
Christ Of Latter-day Saints a year later. Willard Young (Brigham Young’s son)
served as president and James Talmage was placed over the science department. Due
to the competition for students the University of Utah asked the First
Presidency if they would close the school. In return the University of Utah
agreed to make James Talmage the University's president. As a result, the only
year that the University of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints was
opened was the 1893-1894 school year.
