Richard L. & Alice Evans

Board of Trustees, 1953 to 1971. Richard L.Evans was born March 23, 1906, in Salt Lake City, Utah, the youngest of nine children born to John A. Evans and Florence Neslen. His father died when he was 10 weeks old, leaving a widow with nine children to rear. Richard was baptized May 2, 1914 and received the Aaronic Priesthood as a youth. After high school he entered the L.D.S. Univerity and later the University of Utah but left the halls of academia and a generous scholarship when he filled a mission to Great Britain between 1926-1929. During his mission to Great Britain he acted as associate editor of the "Millennial Star" under James E. Talmage and Dr. John A. Widtsoe. He also served as secretary of the European Mission. His distinctive command of the English language, and effective speaking style were honed in countless street meetings and talks given in the rough and tumble of Hyde Park where anyone with a soapbox can speak on any subject of interest but must be prepared for heckling and abuse. After returning home, Richard matriculated at the University of Utah where, in 1931, he received an A.B. degree. Continuing his studies, he was awarded an M.A. degree in 1932 by the same school. During his academic career he married Alice Ruth Thornley who would bear him four children. In addition to his school and family responsibilities, Richard was forced by economic necessity to pursue an avocation. His journalistic experience in editing the Millenial Star stood him in good stead when he secured employment with KSL Radio in Salt Lake City as a staff announcer. As such he was privileged to accompany the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to the San Diego Exposition as radio announcer, and also to Winter Quarters in September, 1936, at the dedication of the monument, as radio announcer. He was given the distinction of being the announcer over the radio with the clearest diction. Indeed, he became best known to the world as the voice of The Spoken Word, a part of the weekly Mormon Tabernacle Broadcast. Elder Evans wrote, produced and announced the coast-to-coast radio network program from the Salt Lake Tabernacle from June, 1930 until his death in 1971. He was appointed managing editor of the Improvement Era in April, 1935, and filled that position with a rich background of efficient Church service and wide experience in business, education and editorial fields. He was named a member of the General Board of YMMIA in 1935. He was ordained a Seventy, and sustained as a member of the First Council of Seventy Oct. 7, 1938. Elder Evans was industrious, intelligent and sympathetic, a lover of truth and beauty, and, above all, he understood and practiced the principles of the restored Gospel. He acquired his education by persistent effort of his own, having worked at numerous occupations in order to attain his efficiency. Elder Evans was sustained to the Council of the Twelve and ordained an Apostle on October 8, 1953 by President David O. McKay, succeeding Elder Albert E. Bowen, who had died. He served with honor until his own death November 1, 1971 at Salt Lake City, Utah. In death he was mourned not only by members of the Church but by the millions of non-members who listened regularly to The Spoken Word on their radios.

She received a BYH Art & Manual Training Diploma in 1914. Source 2: Annual Record, B.Y. University, Book 7, page 433. ~ ~ ~ ~ Camilla Eyring was born the oldest of a large family on December 7, 1894, in the LDS colony of Colonia Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. Her parents were Edward Christian Eyring and Caroline Romney. Camilla came from a family of learners. She said that as a child there were books everywhere in her home. "I’ve always had an enquiring mind," she once stated, and recalled that her mother was much the same and could actually knit stockings while she read a book. At the age of 17 when Mexican revolutionaries threatened many of the Mormon colonists in Colonia Juarez, Camilla was sent to Provo, Utah to live with an uncle. While there, she studied home economics at [BYH and] BYU then taught classes at the Millard Academy in central Utah. It was always her belief that a well-rounded education was a great help for women in caring for and training a family. Later, Camilla joined her family in Arizona where they had moved, taught home economics at Gila Academy and one Sunday attended stake conference where a young, newly returned missionary gave his mission report. That young man was Spencer W. Kimball. They were married later that year on November 16th 1917. Camilla’s love of learning and life continued after she was married and three sons and a daughter joined their home. In fact, she viewed the home as a place of growth and learning, saying, "Anybody who thinks being a wife and mother is a dull occupation doesn’t take the daily challenges seriously. The family is the biggest field for learning there is." Through these years, both Camilla and her husband kept busy with various church callings along with community, school and family activities. Then, in 1943, Brother Kimball was called to be an apostle and the family moved to Utah. Upon learning of this new calling, Camilla reportedly told her husband, "You can do it, Spencer. You can do it." Nearly thirty years later, when he was called to be the president of the church, Camilla’s response was much the same. During all stages of Camilla’s life, she remained engaged in a variety of activities. She was a Relief Society teacher for 20 years, challenging her students to read a designated standard work each year. She loved being a visiting teacher. She also loved being a mother and took pride in being a homemaker, keeping a home which was always modest, spotlessly clean and comfortable. In later years, she made it a point to write each of her four children a letter each Sunday, thus keeping the family ties close. Camilla also continued her pursuit of learning, taking classes at nearby universities, reading and studying on her own and taking every opportunity to expand her knowledge in a variety of subjects. In fact, President Hinckley once said that Sister Kimball was a "shining example of the need to grow constantly, to stretch the mind, to enlarge understanding. . ." This type of devotion to education, home and family prompted the establishment of the Camilla Eyring Kimball Chair of Home and Family life at BYU in 1982. President Kimball’s years as a prophet of God were full of milestones and challenges. He continually challenged church members to "lengthen our stride" and "do it". Missionary work and temple service expanded. The church continued to grow worldwide and an important revelation extending the priesthood to all worthy male members of the church was given. All these events became important to Camilla as well. She understood the pressures and great responsibilities of her husband’s calling and tried to make their home "completely peaceful" for him. She traveled with him, studied with him and when President Kimball was plagued with health problems as he often was, Camilla told people that "when he is well, I’m well." After years of faithful and instrumental service, President Kimball passed away on November 5, 1985. Camilla lived nearly two years longer before following her husband in death on September 20, 1987. Her quest for learning and her love of life never faltered. Her lifelong commitment to excellence remained with her until the end. As she once said, "any woman should be alive to opportunities–alive to public interests, to her family, to growth from church service. Life is so interesting, it worries me that I can’t get it all done. And I have no patience with women whose lives ‘bore’ them." Just as her husband had counseled the church, Camilla Kimball always managed to lengthen her stride and "do it." ~ ~ ~ ~ Camilla Eyring married Spencer W. Kimball on November 16, 1917. Camilla was born December 7, 1894. Camilla died September 20, 1987 at 92 years of age. Her husband, Spencer Woolley Kimball was born March 28, 1895. Spencer died November 5, 1985 at 90 years of age. He served as President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Spencer Woolley Kimball and Camilla Eyring had the following children: 1. Spencer Levan Kimball; 2. Olive Beth Kimball; 3. Andrew Eyring Kimball; and 4. Edward Lawrence Kimball.

John and Lilly Fairbanks

Faculty & Staff. Art Instructor, BYA. John B. Fairbanks, once a farm boy in the frontier village of Payson, Utah, became one of the pioneer artists of Utah. He was an instructor in art at the Brigham Young Academy. John Boylston Fairbanks was born December 27, 1855 in Payson, Utah. His parents were John Boylston Fairbanks and Sarah "H" Van Wagoner. He married twice: First, to Lilie Annetta (or Lillie Anneta) Huish on June 24, 1877 in Payson, Utah. He second married Florence Gifford on September 21, 1917, in Salt Lake City, Utah. He died on June 15, 1940 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Interment, Salt Lake City, Utah. ~ ~ ~ ~ To supplement the low income of teaching, he operated a photographic studio with son J. Leo Fairbanks. John first married Lilly Annetta Huish Fairbanks. She intended to see that her children were well educated, but an unfortunate accident prevented her from seeing her hopes fulfilled. She fell, injuring her neck in August of 1897, and remained bedfast until she died eight months later. She left an infant son and several young children to be reared by the father, assisted by the teenage children of the family. She was born on February 24, 1857, in St. Louis, Missouri. She died on May 12, 1898, in Provo, Utah. Interment, Payson, Utah. Her parents were Walter Henry Huish and Ann Smith Huish. One of their sons, Avard Tennyson Fairbanks, was born in Provo, Utah, on March 2, 1897, the tenth son of a family of eleven. Avard first showed interest in sculpture at the age of 12, when he modeled a pet rabbit under the direction of his brother, J. Leo, by this time an accomplished artist, who had studied in colleges and in Paris art schools and was supervisor of art in Salt Lake City Public Schools. This clay rabbit was entered in the State Fair and won a first prize. However, when the judge, a university professor, learned that it was the work of a boy, he refused to award the medal. This thoughtless act made young Avard resentful and determined to do even better work. He resolved to become an accomplished artist so that the professor would in time recognize him as a professional sculptor. "I'll show him some day!" he said. Avard Fairbanks, Ph.D. (1897-1987) became one of America's most distinguished sculptors, anatomist, and educators of the 20th Century. In his career he created more than 100 public monuments to great characters and events in history. Four are found in the U.S. Capitol Bldg. in Washington, D.C. He studied in New York, Paris, and Italy, and he attained his Doctorate in Anatomy at the University of Michigan where he was also Professor of Sculpture. He served on the faculties of five American universities and he was the founding Dean of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Utah (his native state). He was a descendant of Utah Pioneers (1847) and colonial Massachusetts settlers (1636). ~ ~ ~ ~ John B. Fairbanks appears in an excellent photograph in the BYH Archives, described as: The Art Club [of Brigham Young Academy] posed in 1896 on the original fountain [not the beehive fountain] in front of the Academy Building. Teacher of the group was John B. Fairbanks (front row with beard), who later also was the official photographer and artist on the Cluff expedition to South America. The Art Department was organized in 1893 under the noted Utah artist John Hafen, with Christina D. Young as his assistant. He shared the art teaching duties with Edwin Evans and John B. Fairbanks, both of whom also became famous Utah painters. Edition
