Letter from Karl Gottfried Maeser, 16 August 1887
Provo City, Utah, President Wilford Woodruff. Dear Brother, Our Academy having recommenced its labors, on Monday Aug. 8, I herewith take the liberty of sub- mitting to the Quorum of the Twelve, as it has been done every year, the names of ten of our Normal Students of the Senior Class, who solicit the privi- lege of free tuition under the Church appropriation for the twelfth academic year. AlOsar Vance, of Alpine; Samuel Cornwall, of Mill Creek; Mat- tie Nelson, of Goshen; Jedeiah Taylor, and Nephi Savage, both of Pyson; Jeannette Findley, of Panacca, Nev.; Newton and Frank Noyes, of Fillmore; Enoch Jorgensen, of Ephraim; and Grace Tanner, of Provo. All these are worthy students and faithful Latter day Saints. In answer to my report concerning my educa- tional tour through some of the Stakes of Zion dur- ing the last summer vacation, President Geo. Q. Cannon wrote me under date of July 30th that the suggestion of a general organization of the al- ready existing Churchschools and others get to be star- ted would probably be taken into consideration by
