Letter from Karl Gottfried Maeser, 27 May 1892
Provo,
President Wilford Woodruff.
Dear Brother,
In conformity with the arranged program for the Fifth
Circuit, of which notice had been given to the respective Stake
President and Principals, I arrived at Logan, Tuesday, April 19th
and was cordially received and hospitably entertained by
Prof. J. H. Paul, Principal of the B. Y. College. Wednesday,
April was spent exclusively in attending the classexercises at the
B. Y. College. It is with much satisfaction that I can report the
fine condition of this College in regard to intellectual pro-
gress, as well as to spiritual standing and general discipline;
although it must be stated that it has been somewhat
hard at first for Prof. Paul to partake of the spirit of our
educational system; in as much as ^during^ the first few months
of his labors at the College his usefulness was greatly im-
paired by his vigorous participation in the struggles of
the political arena and his theological instructions being
based too much upon the vain philosophies of the age,
both of which mistakes Bro. Paul is manly striving to
overcome. It is to be regretted that by the time this efficient
teacher, promising^es^ to become such a valuable co-labour
of ours, will g will leave the educational profession and
