Letter from Karl Gottfried Maeser, 5 June 1895
President Wilford Woodruff,
Dear Brother,
have a letter just received from Prof. W. J. Kesr,
President of the B. Y. College, Logan, I learn that he
desires to bestow certain diplomas and degrees upon
Graduates from his College, during the commence-
mentexercises on Thursday, June 13th. As this is pre-
visely the same case as we had under considera-
tion in regard to Prof. Cluff's, of the B. Y. Academy,
Provo, plan, and for which I asked your consent
in my letter of May 20, I suggest that you author-
ize me, as it was above at Provo, to bestow these
degrees to the Graduates at Logan, "in the name
of the General Board of Education". This ought
to be done with the understanding that this
action should establish no precedent binding
the General Board of Education in formulating
a final decision regarding this matter
