Yesterday’s answers:
1. C.
Football
Other influential Latter-day
Saints strongly criticized football games, which at times degenerated into
melees involving not only the players but also fans. George Goddard of the
Sunday School Union protested that “football games [were] damaging to the
respectability” of the institution and ran counter to “the religious tone that
should always characterize every Latter-day Saint school.”

D. James Talmage
[Benjamin] Cluff wrote the
following in his journal in December 1894: “We are having some difficulty in
regard to our conferring degrees. Bro. Talmage, now president of the U of Utah,
seems determined to stop the growth of the Church Schools. The three schools,
however, have now united (B.Y. Academy [Provo], B.Y. College [Logan] and L.D. S. College [Salt
Lake City]), and will present a joint petition to the General Board for certain
privileges due to all colleges. viz: the power to confer degrees.”

B. Joseph Smith University
In 1903, [Benjamin] Cluff
recommended to the Church Board of Education that the Collegiate Department be
formally designated as a college “to express more fully the actual work being
done.” He had privately broached this idea as early as 1897. When Cluff
proposed the name Joseph Smith University, Anthon H. Lund of the First
Presidency viewed the proposal as opportunistic and manipulative. “I told them
in my mind there was not a better name than B.Y. Academy. Bro Cluff is a
schemer!” he wrote.
