USU Library Exhibit Marks 100 Years Since Brigham Young College Closed

LOGAN — An exhibit marking the 100th anniversary of Brigham Young College’s closure will open April 23 in the Merrill-Cazier Library atrium at Utah State University. Logan’s Lost College: Remembering Brigham Young College 100 Years Later explores the history and legacy of the Logan-based institution, which operated from 1877 to 1926.

Drawing from the library’s Special Collections, the exhibit traces the historical arc of Brigham Young College through photographs, publications, correspondence and institutional records. Materials highlight academic programs, student life and the college’s role in shaping education in Northern Utah, as well as the circumstances that led to its closure.

The exhibit invites visitors to reflect on Brigham Young College’s educational legacy and on what it meant for the community to lose a deeply rooted institution.

An opening reception will be from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. April 23 in the Merrill-Cazier Library atrium. The exhibit will run through June 12 and is free and open to the public.
