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. |

Young, Susa

Susa and Jacob Gates |
||
Faculty & Staff. Susa Young Gates, Domestic Science teacher, 1897-1903. Board of Trustees, Brigham Young Academy, 1891 to 1933. ~ ~ ~ ~ Susa (Susan, Susannah) Gates was born on March 18, 1856, in Salt Lake City. A writer, publisher, advocate for women's achievements, educator, missionary, genealogist, temple worker, wife, and mother of thirteen children, she was fond of saying, "Keep busy in the face of discouragement." The second daughter of Brigham Young's 22nd wife, Lucy Bigelow Young, Susa Young has been called "the most versatile and prolific LDS writer ever to take up the pen in defense of her religion". Following private education that included music and ballet, she entered the University of Deseret at age thirteen. The next year she became co-editor of the College Lantern, possibly the first western college newspaper. In 1872, at age sixteen, she married Dr. Alma Bailey Dunford; they had two children, Leah Eudora Dunford and Alma Bailey Dunford. The marriage ended in divorce in 1877. The next year, Susa entered Brigham Young academy in Provo and, while a student, founded the department of music and conducted a choir. During a trip to the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii), she renewed her acquaintance with Jacob F. Gates, whom she married on January 5, 1880. The success of their marriage has been attributed to their mutual respect for, and support of, one another's work. Only four of the eleven children born to this marriage survived to adulthood: Emma Lucy Gates Bowen, Brigham Cecil Gates, Harvey Harris (Hal) Gates [BYH Class of 1909~H?], and Franklin Young Gates. During the 1880s and 1890s, Susa Gates focused her energy on childbearing and child-rearing, missionary work, education, writing, and women's concerns. After completing a Church mission with her husband to the Sandwich Islands in 1889, she founded the Young Woman's Journal. It was adopted as the official magazine for the Young Ladies Mutual Improvement Association in 1897. She founded the Utah Woman's Press Club, became press chairman of the National Council of Women, and founded the Relief Society Magazine, which she edited until 1922. She wrote biographies of Lydia Knight and of her father, Brigham Young, novels including "John Stevens' Courtship" and "The Prince of Ur" -- a pamphlet entitled the "Teachings of Brigham Young," and a history of women in the Church, on which she was still working at the time of her death. Concern for women's achievements was a prominent force in Susa Gates's life. During the 1890s, while she was most occupied with raising her own children, she became a charter member of the National Household Economic Association and was a representative to women's congresses in Denver, Washington, D.C., Toronto, and London, where she was invited to speak on the topic "Equal Moral Standards for Men and Women" and where she joined other women of the International Council, including Susan B. Anthony, for tea with Queen Victoria. At the turn of the century, Susa suffered a nervous and physical breakdown. Ill for three years, she was forced to terminate a mission that she and her husband had begun in 1902. A priesthood blessing that promised her she would live to do temple work marked the beginning of her recovery. She underwent a year of intense spiritual introspection and later wrote of that period, "I disciplined my taste, my desires and my impulses — severely disciplining my appetite, my tongue, my acts … and how I prayed!" (Person, p. 212). While maintaining her commitments to family and women's advancement, she focused her energy on genealogy and temple work. In 1906, Susa Young Gates organized genealogical departments in two newspapers, the Inter Mountain Republican and the Deseret News, and wrote columns for both papers over the next ten years. She produced instructional manuals for genealogists, devised a systematic index of names for the Church, and published the Surname Book and Racial History. In 1915, she introduced genealogical class work at the International Genealogy Conference in San Francisco and became head of the Research Department and Library of the Genealogical Society of Utah in 1923. She personally cataloged more than 16,000 names of the Young family. She spent much time in the last years of her life doing ordinance work in the Salt Lake Temple with her husband. She died on May 27, 1933. More biographical information |

Young, Zina

Zina & Thomas/ Chas. Williams/Card |
||
Class of 1880? Faculty & Staff. Zina Young Williams, Training School, 1879-1884. Board of Directors, 1918 to 1930. A daughter of Brigham Young, Zina Young was born April 3, 1850, in the "old log row the first house built by Brigham Young after he entered the Salt Lake Valley." She was given the name of her mother, Zina Diantha Huntington Young, by her father. The Huntington family roots dated back to England. The family immigrated to America in 1633 and established themselves in the state of Massachusetts. They were strict Presbyterians. Samuel Huntington was reportedly one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Zina D. H. Young herself, Zina Card's mother, was a notable figure of Mormon history. Married first to Henry Bailey Jacobs, then sealed to Joseph Smith and then Brigham Young, she was the wife of two prophets. She, like her daughter who would follow, worked in the Church Relief Society, was matron at the Salt Lake Temple and later, General President of the Relief Society. Zina Card and her mother, Zina D. H. Young, were close. Family papers are replete with references to this mother and daughter bond. In the Brigham Young family Zina Card, the daughter, grew up as one of "the big ten"--this was what President Young called his ten eldest daughters and it gave young Zina both refined learning opportunities and a position of prominence. She moved into the "Lion House" when she was six years of age and lived with twenty-nine other children. Zina wrote affectionately of her life in her father's home: "How joyous were our lives. There were so many girls of nearly the same age, and everything was so nice. Our mothers all occupied their apartments on the center floor. The upper floor we children had for bedrooms. Downstairs were the dining room, kitchen, wash room, school room, weave room, and cellars. The parlor, a large well-lighted, well-furnished and well-kept room was the place where our father assembled his family every evening for prayers. No scene is more vivid in my mind than the gathering of our mothers with their families around them, our loved and honored father sitting by the round table in the center of the room. We all controlled every childish display of temper or restlessness, and a sweet spirit of reverence pervaded all hearts. His presence was commanding and comforting, a peaceful control of his family that brought love and respect for him and each other, and his prayers were the grandest and most impressive I have ever heard." Brigham Young tried to provide a good education for his children and "to give everyone in his family an opportunity for knowledge, improvement and culture". They had a music teacher, a dance teacher and a governess. When they had learned a song, a dance or a part in a play they performed it for their father. Zina's first educational classroom experience was conducted in the basement of the Lion House, where Harriet Cook, another one of Brigham Young's wives, conducted school classes for the children. Zina was first married, at the age of eighteen, to Thomas Williams. Williams, age 40, was an employee of Brigham Young. He had worked as manager of the Salt Lake Theatre and as Young's bookkeeper for several years. Little was written of this relationship perhaps because William's death cut it short. John Taylor became the third President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving from October 10, 1880 to July 25, 1887. Some months after becoming President of the Church, President Taylor was visited by Zina Young Williams, the Dean of Women of the Brigham Young Academy in Provo and a daughter of Brigham Young. The Academy was less than a decade old and was experiencing serious financial difficulties that, if not resolved, would mean its closing. After listening to Sister Williams's plea for help, President Taylor took her hand "in a fatherly way" and said: "My dear child, I have something of importance to tell you that I know will make you happy. I have been visited by your father. He came to me in the silence of the night clothed in brightness and with a face beaming with love and confidence told me things of great importance and among others that the school being taught by Brother [Karl G.] Maeser was accepted in the heavens and was a part of the great plan of life and salvation; . . . and there was a bright future in store for . . . preparing . . . the children of the covenant for future usefulness in the Kingdom of God, and that Christ himself was directing, and had a care over this school." [Leonard J. Arrington, ed., The Presidents of the Church (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1986), pp. 108-109] Zina and Charles Ora Card's relationship began at the time she was Matron of Brigham Young Academy. Card had two of his own children, from his first marriage, who were in attendance and Zina was involved in counselling his daughter. Card saw his daughter's disenchantment with her father and his Church as a result of his controversial (polygamous) public life, and he encouraged her to seek out "Sister Zina and allow her to advise you." Card made several trips to Provo visiting his own children and was also reportedly heroic in saving some of the books and valuable papers from a fire which almost destroyed the school. The relationship between Zina and Card grew serious following the dedication of the Logan Temple. Zina and her mother had been called to work in the Temple, May 19 [1884]. They were considering the purchase of C.O. Card's home in Logan where they expected to live and work in the temple. It was on May 25, 1884 while at her home in Provo making provisions to move to Logan that she received a letter from C.O. Card proposing marriage: While she respected him very much she had never thought of marrying him. She deferred answering him until she went back to Logan. She had a dream that convinced her that he was the right man. They were married on the 17th of the following June, 1884. She was thirty-four years of age, he was forty-five. Zina returned to Logan from Canada in 1903 after her husband became ill, in Cardston, and after his death, at age 67, September 9, 1906, she moved to Salt Lake City where she lived the remainder of her life. Zina had five children--Sterling Williams, Thomas Edgar Williams; and Joseph Young, Zina Young (the third Zina) and Orson Rega Card. She was appointed as a member of the L.D.S. Primary General Board, where she served for the next fifteen years, and assumed the duties as matron of the L.D.S. Business School in Salt Lake City. On January 31, 1931, at 81 years of age Zina passed away quietly in her sleep. |
