Joseph D.C & Alice Young

Architect of the 1892 Brigham Young Academy Education Building. Board of Trustees, Brigham Young Academy, 1887 to 1901. Joseph Don Carlos Young. ~ ~ ~ ~ A note about names, thanks to David Young Thomas, great-grandson of Joseph Don Carlos Young. J.D.C. Young did not use "Sr." after his name, nor did his son "Jr." have the exact same name. Don Carlos Young, Jr. did not have "Joseph" as his first name, but he was so often mistaken by name with his father that he added "Jr." to the end to make sure they weren’t confused. ~ ~ ~ ~ 1994 Master's Thesis: by P. Bradford Westwood. The Early Life and Career of Joseph Don Carlos Young (1855-1938): A Study of Utah’s First Institutionally-Trained Architect. (NA02 1994 W538). Early buildings in Salt Lake City included the classically detailed Church headquarters building, whose architect was Joseph Don Carlos Young. With one exception, formally trained architects were rare in later nineteenth and early twentieth-century Utah. The exception, Joseph Don Carlos Young (1855-1938), the last surviving son of Brigham Young, was the first architect in Utah to receive a formal education. He majored in civil engineering at Rensselear Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, from 1875 to 1879. After graduating, he engaged in railroading and engineering and was a two-term Utah territorial legislator before turning to architecture. In 1887, he succeeded Truman Angell, Sr., as LDS Church architect and remained in that position for fifty years. ~ ~ ~ ~ BYA Faculty. Joseph Don Carlos Young. From 1886-1887 he taught Mathematics and Architecture at Brigham Young Academy in Provo. During 1888-1889 he taught Mechanical and Architectural Drafting in the Department of Fine Arts at the University of Utah. Young was succeeded in this teaching role by William Ward, a stonecarver and sculptor, who turned architect after his return to Utah in 1888. Joseph D. C. Young, returned to Brigham Young Academy for the 1899-1900 school year to teach Mathematics and Architecture. It was natural for Dr. Karl G. Maeser and other members of the BYA Board to turn to Joseph Don Carlos Young, to design the new Academy building, which was completed and dedicated in January of 1892. In 1906, Young practiced in partnership with his son, Don Carlos Young, Jr. - a partnership that continued until 1915. The Salt Lake City Temple: The temple, considered a fine example of Romanesque Gothic architecture, was started by Truman O. Angell on April 6, 1853. Mr. Angell did not live to see his work completed and his assistant, Joseph Don Carlos Young, the son of Brigham Young, finished the project on April 6, 1893. ~ ~ ~ ~ Joseph H. Young, the grandson of Joseph Don Carlos Young, Sr., continued the family tradition of architecture. At age 74 he had worked on more than 300 buildings and was still an active architect. His father, Don Carlos Young Jr., was a primary architect for the original LDS Church Office Building on South Temple and Joseph H. Young worked on the 28-story LDS Church Office Building on North Temple. Joseph H. Young said Joseph Don Carlos Young not only supervised the completion of the outside of the Salt Lake Temple, but also designed all of the interior. He also changed Mr. Angell's plan to build the spires out of wood wrapped in sheet metal to granite just like the walls below. ~ ~ ~ ~ Joseph Don Carlos Young, Architect, was born May 6, 1855 at Salt Lake City, Utah. His parents were Brigham Young and Emily Dow Partridge. He first married September 22, 1881 at Salt Lake City, Utah to Alice Naomi Dowden. They had ten children, six sons and four daughters. He second married Marian Penelope Hardy on January 11, 1887, in Juarez, Mexico. He died on October 19, 1938, in Salt Lake City, Utah. His eldest son, Don Carlos Young, Jr., was also an architect. He was born August 5, 1882 and died on December 8, 1960, both events in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Her interment, Salt Lake City Cemetery. Kimball Young died on September 1, 1972 in Provo, Utah. Interment, Salt Lake City Cemetery. ~ ~ ~ ~ Kimball Young served as the 35th President of the American Sociological Society (name later changed to Association). His Presidential Address, "Society and the State: Some Neglected Areas of Research and Theory," was delivered at the organization's annual meeting in Chicago in December 1945 and was later published in the American Sociological Review (Volume 11, Number 2, pages 137-46, April, 1946). Howard W. Odum, in his 1951 book American Sociology: The Story of Sociology in the United States through 1950 provided the following biography of Kimball Young (see pages 218-222): Like the account of his successor, Carl Taylor, whose retelling of the social incidence which brought him into the field of sociology appears in the next section, Kimball Young's story is so realistically representative that it is relevant to the total record of American sociology. Here was an American of the third generation of the great frontiersman, Brigham Young, born in Provo, Utah, in 1893, graduated from Brigham Young University in 1915, taught high school for a year in Arizona, and then entered into a breathtaking trek across new fields "back East." Young spent five quarters at the University of Chicago in sociology, took off from there to Stanford University in California for a Ph.D. in psychology in 1921, was assistant professor in the University of Oregon for two years, then across to New England as assistant professor at Clark University, stamping ground of Hankins, Odum, and Frazier. Then he went back to Oregon as associate professor in 1922 to 1926, thence to the University of Wisconsin as associate professor of sociology from 1926 to 1930 and professor of social psychology for ten years, 1930 to 1940; then again to the Northeast as chairman of the Department of Sociology at Queens College until 1947, and then back again to the Middle States as head of the Department of Sociology at Northwestern University. And in the meantime he had been author of some of the most popular text-books used widely in all parts of the nation by thousands of students in the rapidly expanding American sociology. As was the case with most of the presidents of the American Sociological Society, Young, the thirty-fifth president, in 1945, was influenced by his teachers and by his reading of some of the classical source books. He could, he wrote, write a long piece about his coming of age in sociology but instead gives only some highlights to be published in American Sociology. "My father, as you know, was a son of Brigham Young and brought up in the faith of the Mormons. Yet he was a well-read man — only had a third-grade schooling, formally — knew Shakespeare, Sam Johnson, and most of the hard-headed literary lights of English literature. He read Tom Paine, Robert Ingersoll, Darwin, Huxley, and especially Herbert Spencer. He even tackled Schopenhauer, though I fancy he found him a bit tough going. Politically he was a `Jacksonian' democrat — and this in the midst of the Reed Smoot type of Republicanism. (Incidentally, he `knew everybody' worth knowing in Mormondom, and Smoot was a close personal friend. You see, our family were among the ιlite of the Church, so even though he was looked upon as heterodox, he was liked and respected. This helped in my own adjustment, too.) Now my father and an old friend of his, Doctor Richards — also a son of a prominent Mormon — would spend hours on end arguing politics, economics, religion, and philosophy. I used to hear them while I was at play and though I did not understand much of what they said, I gathered a critical attitude, a questioning frame of mind, from hearing them checkmate each other in their own disputations. "Added to this was my own reading of some of the simpler items in Ingersoll and Paine, at about the coming of puberty. But with respect to sociological interests and teaching, it was such books as Tylor's Anthropology, which I read when 13 years of age, and various histories, that set me on my way. "In high school (which was the preparatory department of the Brig-ham Young University, at Provo, Utah) I had excellent teachers, especially in civics, history, and literature. In college it was John C. Swenson, sociologist, Joseph Peterson, psychologist, and William Chamberlain, a philosopher, who gave me the chief shove toward sociology and social psychology. I devoured the first two volumes of Cooley, which were texts in a course in social psychology. I cut my sociological teeth on Small and Vincent, and we even made little community maps and the like, along the lines of those in that long-forgotten but, for its time, invaluable book. But I majored in history, as there was not yet a separate department of sociology. "After a year of teaching in a high school in Arizona — English and history — I took off to Chicago, under the stimulation of William J. Snow, another teacher at the Brigham Young University who told me about W. I. Thomas and his course in `Social Origins.' (I had never heard of Thomas till then, and had read nothing of his.) The five quarters at Chicago, where my record was very sound, as a student, `fixed' me for sociology and social psychology. Within two quarters I had become `reader' for Thomas and was reading like mad everything I could lay my hands on in sociology and social psychology. G. H. Mead had a great influence on me, but I took work with Small, Park, Burgess, E. S. Ames, G. B. Foster, and others. "However, I took my doctorate in psychology under Terman at Stan-ford, and used my work at Chicago to fulfill my requirements for a full or double minor. But though I taught straight psychology for some years after taking the Ph.D. my first love was social psychology and the psychology of personality. With regard to the latter, I must add one more comment. At Oregon, beginning in 1920, I gave what must have been one of the first courses under the title: `Psychology of Personality.' I used Wells' Mental Adjustments as the basic text and had the students read Freud and other dynamic psychologists." In addition to a large number of articles in the current social science journals, Young's main works include Mental Differences in Certain Immigrant Groups, 1922; Source Book for Social Psychology, 1927; Social Psychology, 1930, 1944; Social Attitudes (with others), 1931; An Introductory Sociology, 1934, new editions, 1942, 1949; Source Book for Sociology, 1935; Personality and Problems of Adjustment, 1941. Young was general editor of the "American Sociology Series" for the American Book Company, member of the board of editors of the Journal of Social Psychology, and The American Journal of Sociology. He combined his broad interest in the social sciences, being a member of the Social Science Research Council, of the American Psychological Association, and of various local and regional organizations. While at Wisconsin he also collaborated in The Madison Community, produced with R. D. Lawrence, a bibliography on censorship and propaganda. His evaluation of sociology's status and trends, as of 1948, as is the case with most authorities, could be expanded beyond this preliminary estimate. He begins by saying, "Sociology is just now — say in the past ten years — beginning to mature. When I began as a student with Thomas, Park and Small, in 1916, the work was still largely oriented along philosophic lines. Thomas and Park were just beginning to stress empirical field studies, but without being able to give the graduate student much in the way of rigid training in method. (I had my first course in statistics, for example, with James A. Field, an economist.) However, under Park I did the first, or one of the first, ecological field studies in Chicago, working the area north of the river along Clark Street to Chicago Avenue. (I am told that later the graduate students literally `wore out' my M.A. thesis, reading it as a `bad' example and as a warning `what not to do.') It was not till the early 1930's that more rigid methods began to take root. Remember, how in the late 1920's we discussed method with such sound and fury, but no one did much empirical research. Gradually the movement started: Chapin, Rice, Burgess, the group at North Carolina, and later Stouffer and his whole generation. Today we are beginning to look a little like a science. "As one who has produced a tolerably successful textbook, I should say that our students are beginning to reap the benefits of this empirical trend. But as to theory to go along with it, that is another story. We now need a synthesis — say as of 1950 — and we have no Aristotles around, although Parsons, Merton, and Lundberg have acquitted themselves pretty well." Concerning his own work, he says: "If I have made any special contribution to sociology, it has been in social psychology and with reference to this one matter: I have long maintained (a) that not all learning is cultural learning (that is, the learning in which we are interested); (b) that basic to cultural learning, or conditioning, if you prefer this term, is social learning which is older than culture; (c) that is to say, social learning is found not only in man but in all mammals, especially the primates; (d) as a result of this we find many of the basic features of social order among the prehuman, higher forms, e.g., apes and monkeys, such as familial group, play group, dominance and submission, prototype of in-group vs. out-group, and others; (e) and finally that even in human society we find social learning which is not identical to what we call `cultural' learning. Those who stress cultural determinism scout this and do not properly recognize the difference. Now, for want of a better term I have called this `personal-social' learning or conditioning. It is not a happy term but I do think the idea is important. Few people have paid any attention to it, and most of those who do have misconstrued my meaning a bit. Burgess comes near to it in his discussion of the psychogenics of the personality." More specifically, Young writes: "In any case, this is my one original contribution to social psychological theory, although others also considered the matter in varying ways. Second to this, I believe I have done a tolerable job in bringing together cultural anthropology, sociology, and social psychology. This is seen in my sociology books, and in my Social Psychology itself. "I think of myself as a social psychologist, concerned with both basic phases: (a) collective behavior, e.g., crowds, fashion phenomena, public opinion, and like areas; and (b) personality development and operation. To me we need to tackle really big problems, but those which can be made manageable. We neglect our possible contribution to international affairs. We have not as yet tackled industrial problems as we should. And even in the field of majority-minority groups we have messed around trying to rationalize rather than understand conflict and intolerance. Until other persons than members of minority groups begin to tackle these topics seriously, we won't advance very much. Most people are afraid to go at the problems honestly because they fear the Jews and Negroes won't like what they find out. As to our biggest need, it is still methodological, but we are making advances." The following obituary was published for Kimball Young in the May 1973 issue of Footnotes (page 8): "Kimball Young's career so effectively spans the development of sociology in America over a fifty-year period that his own biography provides a set of markers describing where we have been and, perhaps, suggesting where we are going. He was one of the first sociologists whose intellectual curiosity led him to be psychoanalyzed. This is hardly a startlin idea today; half a century ago, when Kimball Young decided that personal psychoanalysis might contribute to social science insight, he took a year's leave from his academic post and left the community in order to avoid the consequences that might stem from rumors about a professor's needing mental treatment. In the 1970's, high school freshmen discuss the burden of parents who project their own ambitions onto their children. When Kimball Young published an article on this topic in the 1920's, it was a fresh and challenging idea. When, as a young radical member of the American Sociological Society, Young participated in the caucus picking W. I. Thomas for President of the Society, older members who had come to the profession via the Protestant ministry predicted that such leadership spelled doom for the discipline in the American academic world. At the last meeting of the American Sociological Association which he attended, Young applauded vigorously the efforts of the caucus uring sociological research on military institutions - an interest he had sustained since his own studies of Ratzehoffer and Gumplowitz. "Kimball Young died in Provo, Utah, on September 1, 1972, of congestive heart failure. He retired from Northwestern University in 1962 and not long afterward suffered the detachment of both retinas. Despite his resulting blindness, he continued to work and taught a seminar or two a year for several years at Arizona State University. "Professor Young was the grandson of Brigham Young and was born in Provo on October 26, 1893. After taking his A.B. from Brigham Young University in 1915, he studied with Robert E. Park and William I. Thomas at the University of Chicago and received the A.M. degree in sociology there in 1918. During World War I he served as a Mormon missionary in Germany. He took his doctorate in psychology under Lewis Terman at Stanford University in 1921. After serving as a psychologist at the University of Oregon (1920-22 and 1923-26) and Clark University (1922-23), he moved to the University of Wisconsin, where he served as associate professor of social psychology (1930-40). He was chairman of sociology at Queens College (1940-47), at Shrivenham American University (U.S. Army installation in England, 1945), and at Northwestern University, beginning in 1947. He was president of the Alpha Kappa Delta in 1928-30 and of the American Sociological Society in 1943. He held a Guggenheim fellowship in 1951-52. "With the late Robert Seashore and the late Melville J. Herskovits he establish an integrated sociology-psychology-anthropology freshman course in 1948 at Northwestern. He was the author of many articles and of widely known texts in sociology, social psychology, and personality, and of Isn't One Wife Enough?, a study of life among the early Mormons. "He was generous with his time and knowledge, and could be irascible in inter-personal relations. As a young social scientist trained in psychology, he spent hours with a young colleague in anthropology at the University of Wisconsin, Ralph Linton. To admirers of the writings of both men, it is evident that they stimulated and learned from one another. Each of the two denied that the other had any influence on his work. "As an individual, Kimball Young presented his fellow social scientists with a delicious set of paradoxes. He was prejudiced against virtually all social categories and virtually no individual human beings. He was infected with the racial prejudices of his father's time and place, and a warm supporter of E. Franklin Frazier as the first black president of the American Sociological Society. He was a catalog of petty anti-Semitic sterotypes, and counted Louis Wirth and Melville J. Herskovits among his closest friends. He believe it important to be well dressed, and used to arrive at the chairman's office in a Hawaiian shirt and a Homburg hat. He was a political conservative, and worked tirelessly to help the late Eduardo Mondlane prepare for a career as an anti-colonial revolutionary. He interested himself in the personal problems of the campus janitors, and cursed at the university business manager for having the lights turned off in the campus office buildings on Sundays when normal professors did their work."

Spanish Club, Ski Club, Letterman, Forensics, Band, Football, Tennis, VFW Oratorical Contest 3rd Place. ~ ~ ~ ~ BYU BA Political Science 1973 with highest honors. Harvard Law School JD Magna Cum Laude 1976. Michael K. Young became Dean of the George Washington University Law School and Lobingier Professor of Comparative Law and Jurisprudence in 1998. From 1985-1998 Dean Young was the Fuyo Professor of Japanese Law at Columbia University. At Columbia he was also the Director of the Center for Japanese Legal Studies and Director of the Center for Korean Studies (1985-1998) and Co-Director, Program on Religion, Human Rights and Religious Freedom (1994-1998). In addition to his academic and administrative experience, Dean Young served from 1989-1993 in the U.S. State Department, including as Ambassador for Trade and Environmental Affairs (1992-1993), and Deputy Under Secretary for Economic and Agricultural Affairs (1991-1993). He served two terms as Chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, and is a member of the Trade and Environment Policy Advisory Committee, Office of U.S. Trade Representative. ~ ~ ~ ~ April 30, 2004: The University of Utah community welcomed Michael K. Young as its new president. The Board of Regents approved the appointment of Mike Young after interviewing two other finalists for the job. President Young and his wife Suzan have deep roots in Utah [he is a direct descendant of Brigham Young] and both say they are excited to be moving to a state where they have friends and family. Young follows Bernie Machen who left to become president at the University of Florida. Utah conducted a national search for a new leader and 147 educators applied for the job. Young will now oversee the 28,000 students, 2,750 faculty, and 11,500 staff of the University of Utah. President Young, 54, officially assumed his duties as president on August 2, 2004, and continued until April 2011, when he left to become President of the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. U of U Faculty Senate President Andrew Gitlin was on the search committee and says this is a good fit. “President Young brings a strong knowledge of the local Utah culture and a vast array of negotiation skills. Clearly, it is the hope of the Regents that his local knowledge and negotiation skills will reap financial benefits with the legislature.” Student Body President Alex Lowe says students on campus have been following the presidential search and are very happy with the decision. “We could not be more excited. Michael Young is exactly what the University needs and he has committed to being 100 percent accessible to students. We are looking forward to a great year”, said Lowe.

Michael Young and the University of Washington seem an odd fit. But this won't be the first time that Young has met with puzzled expression. By Seattle Times staff Michael K. Young and the University of Washington seem an odd fit. Seattle, compared to most places, is unchurched and liberal. Young is a Mormon who served in the George H.W. Bush administration. But this won't be the first time that Young, announced Monday as the university's new president, has met with puzzled expression. When he was named the University of Utah's president in 2004, Young encountered a community divided, with faith and politics but two of the fault lines. In Young, all sides found cause for concern. Non-Mormons worried that Young was Mormon — a graduate of rival Brigham Young University, no less — prompting a local newspaper to compare Young's appointment to "Lincoln joining the Confederacy." Meanwhile, conservative critics of the university saw in Young an embodiment of their take on the school: liberal and elitist. Young's rιsumι, long on Ivy League institutions, betrayed sustained stretches in Manhattan and Washington, D.C. As president, Young soon confronted the charged issue of whether guns should be allowed on the Utah campus. The issue pitted the university and its faculty, determined to retain a gun ban, against the state Legislature. Young proved adept at navigating the currents. He met one-on-one with lawmakers and steered the debate from "pro-gun" or "anti-gun" to one of economic development, saying the ban's lifting could make it difficult to recruit top faculty. The ban ultimately was done away with, but with certain restrictions intact. In the aftermath, the competing sides agree on only this: They like the way Young handled the situation — and they're sorry to see him go. "We're mad at you that you're taking him away from us," said Steve Gunn, with the Gun Violence Prevention Center of Utah. "I am actually sad to lose him," said Rep. Curt Oda, a Republican state legislator from Clearfield. To Young's colleagues, the gun debate illustrates his skill at finding common ground and defusing tempers. They also say it shows how it can be a mistake for anyone to isolate select items from Young's rιsumι and draw sweeping conclusions. That rιsumι radiates: bachelor's degree from BYU; Mormon mission in Japan; law degree from Harvard, where he made Law Review; U.S. Supreme Court clerkship; law professor at Columbia; Mormon stake president in New York; law dean at George Washington University; ambassador for trade and environmental affairs; deputy undersecretary of state for economic and agricultural affairs; chairman of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom. Young's mentors include the late Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist, former Secretary of State James Baker III and current World Bank President Robert Zoellick. Young's diversions include scuba diving, hang gliding, riding a Harley and hiking Denali. In his youth, he considered chucking everything to be a ski instructor. But strip out the big names, impressive titles and adventurous excursions, and key themes emerge from Young's life and career: an ability to adapt; an aversion to division and paralysis; and a desire, not always realized, to meet the competing demands of family, faith and work. His family album For Young's influences, family is a good place to start. His great-great-great-grandfather was Lorenzo Dow Young, younger brother of Brigham Young, the famed pioneer some called the "Mormon Moses." Michael Young, 61, spent his early years in Sacramento, where his father worked as a civil engineer. But the family moved to Chester, a small logging town in Northern California, when Michael's uncle, a store owner, was robbed and murdered, along with his two children. Michael's parents took over the store. Michael, accompanied by his mother, later went to live with his grandparents in Provo, Utah. Michael attended Brigham Young High School, where he wrestled and won the state's debating championship, according to Jim Holtkamp, a high-school classmate. Because his father stayed in California, with the store, Michael split time between the states. In writings and in conversation with family and friends, Michael Young describes how his life has been shaped by his grandfather, his mother and his oldest son. Wilbur Sowards, the father of Michael's mother, owned a small corner grocery in Provo. But in his youth he served three missions, two in the South. Those missions were charged with danger. In Kentucky, Sowards replaced a missionary who had been lynched. In a chapter for the book "Finding God at BYU," Michael Young wrote of his grandfather: "I spent many days and evenings literally sitting at his feet, listening to him tell of his missionary experiences, of his close brushes with death, and of the Lord's intervention and protection. Those were dramatic stories for a young boy, full of high adventure, of close calls, of too many rescues to count. ... "I learned that the Lord could truly be counted on to save and protect those who were on his errand." Young's mother, Ethelyn Sowards Young, was one of eight children. She became a teacher and a pilot, and in World War II flew bombers from the factory to the European theater. When Utah Business magazine asked Young to name his most powerful influence, he cited his mother. "She taught me to believe in myself and, perhaps even more importantly, to believe in others. She taught me that service to others is the most important aim of any life and one's work life ought to reflect that. And she taught me anything was possible." Young has three children of his own. His oldest, Stewart, worked as a federal prosecutor in San Diego before joining the University of Wyoming law faculty last year. When Stewart was about 18 months old, his dad clerked for Rehnquist, then an associate member of the Supreme Court. Young was at the right elbow of history, taking long walks with Rehnquist as he struggled with Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, a landmark affirmative-action case. In the morning, before heading to the Supreme Court, Young often played with his son, rolling a ball back and forth. It was their first game of catch. Young later would tell his son that although he had the best job imaginable, "this was more fun to me than that." As his kids grew up, Young showed up for their meets and games. Stewart swam, rowed and played football; Kathryn played lacrosse, soccer and basketball; Andrew played lacrosse and ran cross country. Stewart, at age 19, served a mission in Japan, where he was allowed to call home only on Christmas and Mother's Day. His father knew how lonely the work of a missionary can be, Stewart says, so every week his dad wrote him a 15-page letter — "intensely personal," with words of encouragement and details from home. He came to know his father through those letters. "I kept them all," Stewart said. Lessons learned As a student, professor and administrator, Young has found university life to be rich with lessons that go beyond textbooks. At BYU, Young and Holtkamp attended a speech by Hubert Humphrey inside a 12,000-seat field house. To show Humphrey how Utah differed from the rest of the country, the BYU president asked all students who supported the Vietnam War to stand. Holtkamp remembers students rising across the stadium, while he and Young remained seated. Young ran into professors who forced him to think instead of simply memorize. "My initial reaction was, of course, high irritation," Young wrote of those days. "After all, I thought I understood the game pretty well, and I had certainly mastered it, at least as I understood it: The teacher would present me with prepackaged material, and I would memorize it quickly and repeat it back on the examination. The teacher would then give me a good grade, and we would both pretend that I was smart." After getting his Harvard law degree and clerking for Rehnquist, Young became a law professor at Columbia, where he directed the Center for Japanese Legal Studies. He tried to compartmentalize, but learned the difficulties of chasing tenure while raising kids. "I occasionally used the Socratic method at the dinner table and cut up the food of my dinner companion at a formal banquet," he wrote in an article in the Brigham Young University Law Review. Young's daughter, Kathryn Owen, says that in Manhattan, her dad made a point of being home for dinner and tucking the kids into bed. She didn't learn until years later that he would then go back to work for hours. While teaching law, Young imbued his kids with a sense of adventure. He let them go bungee jumping. He let his daughter get a pilot's license while in high school. Owen, now 31, went on to graduate from the Air Force Academy. Young learned of the effect his faith could have on others. "In the academic universe, phrases like 'revealed truth' and 'I have a testimony' have a tendency to stop conversations and clear the faculty lunchroom," he wrote in the law review article. After 20 years of teaching, Young left Columbia to become dean of George Washington University law school. His first day, the plumbing broke, turning the school's largest classroom into "a beautiful, though highly inappropriately located, reflecting pool," he wrote in a Toledo Law Review article. Cleaning up afterward, he found there were no paper towels. He muttered about the dean, only to remember: He was now the dean. "Three steps ahead" Through the years, Young has been quick to adapt. When he went to work for the State Department in 1989, he was tapped as a specialist on Japan. But almost immediately he was designated the United States' lead lawyer in the negotiations to reunify Germany. On the plane ride over the Atlantic, he dived into large volumes of German history. At the University of Utah, Young's versatility has likewise been in demand. Randy Dryer, a university trustee who has worked with six school presidents, says he knew Young was special from the get-go. "Most presidents come in and want to clean house and put in their own hand-picked folks," Dryer said. "Mike came in and quickly realized he had a top-notch leadership team. He just added his own political savvy." Showing a talent for triangulation, Young avoided alienating would-be opponents, according to interviews with more than a dozen Utah power brokers. Young met with state Senate President John Valentine, who said the new president was "just delightful and gracious." David Clark, a former state House speaker, said of Young: "If I were playing chess, this is definitely someone I would like to have on my team. He was always three steps ahead." Young showed a talent for fundraising — more than doubling the university's donor base — and a willingness to battle when needed. He fought when lawmakers tried to limit faculty tenure, Dryer says. When animal-rights groups began protesting near the homes of faculty who used animals in their research, Young lobbied for an ordinance restricting picketing in residential areas. As his track record drew notice, other universities came calling. When Young became a finalist for a job at Dartmouth, Utah induced him to stay with a $275,000 bonus in 2009. At Utah, Young also sat on the boards of several companies, including one, MagnetBank, that failed two years ago. In June 2009, an arbitration panel headed by Young delivered a critical ruling involving NAFTA. A month later, Young testified before Congress to blast the Bowl Championship Series. At a hearing requested by Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, Young took the BCS to task, saying college football's structure for determining its championship penalized all but six conferences. Utah had just completed an undefeated season but was shut out of the championship game. Some of Young's vocabulary — for example, "dialogic" and "self-referential" — missed his target audience. "Self-what now?" Hatch asked. But Young found his stride. He boiled his argument to its basics — "Championship should be decided by competition, not conspiracy" — and even issued a challenge, telling the University of Nebraska's chancellor, who was also testifying, that he wished the Cornhuskers "were willing to play us." The personal is public In 2010, news broke in the Utah newspapers that Young was getting divorced from Suzan, his wife of more than 30 years. Michele Mattsson, vice chair of the university's board of trustees, said Young's divorce was "shocking and unsettling" and had "divided loyalties" on campus, where Suzan Young ran a popular lecture series. "It may be good for him to have another opportunity at this time," Mattsson said. Young, in an interview with The Seattle Times, said: "This has been a painful, personal situation, for sure. But I've not sensed any lack of momentum on the part of the university. We raised more money this year than we raised last year, and more money last year than we did the year before. "Look, Utah is not an easy place to get divorced. ... And I do sometimes think it makes it harder here maybe to accept a simple and true explanation. ... Is he having a psychotic breakdown? Is he gay? Is he having an affair? Is he sleeping with sheep? Is he clinically depressed? A lot of that stuff is said. And truth of the matter is it's just much simpler than that. "It's what happens in a marriage, and I also hope people understand, you don't leave a 35-year marriage casually." James Macfarlane, former chair of the University of Utah trustees, said the divorce didn't endanger Young's job. But it may have made it easier for Young to leave. "I think he's looking for a new start and a more open situation."
