Caine Home
Marie Eccles Caine and her eight siblings were raised in Logan, Utah. She attended the Agricultural College of Utah (UAC), now USU, where her husband George Ballif Caine founded the dairy sciences department and served as department head for nearly 40 years. The couple raised three children in the Caine Home located at the base of Old Main Hill, and each attended USU (Kathryn’38, George ‘43 and Manon ‘53).
The Caine College of the Arts, 2010, formerly School of the Arts (2005-2010), was named in recognition of the Marie Eccles Caine Foundation’s long-standing support of the arts at Utah State University. President Stan Albrecht (2005-2016) worked closely with sisters Kathryn Caine Wanlass and Manon Caine Russell, founding members of the Marie Eccles Caine Foundation, to translate the vision of a school of the arts into reality.
