Letter from the LDS College Board of Trustees, 23 March 1898

To the President and Members of the Board of Education of the Salt Lake Stake of Zion. Dear Brethren: We have encountered a situation in connection with the Latter-day Saints' College, which must necessarily be submitted to your consideration. In order to simplify the statement of it, we here introduce an exhibit of an action of this Board, which is largely self-explanatory, as follows, viz: "Since the removal of the business department of the Latter- day Saints' College from the old Ellerbeck building to its new quarters in the Templeton Block, a difference has arisen between Brother Done, President of the Institution, and Brother Nelson, who has charge of the business department. The following will show the points of difference: Previous to the before mentioned change of location— (1) The morning devotional exercises were held by the College, as a while, in the premises of the Institution proper. (2) The Book of Mormon Class was conducted in the same place immed- iately after devotions (same time as the algrebra class).

(2) The Book of Mormon Class is conducted in the premises of the Business Department. (3) The General Theology exercises (Friday afternoons) are con- ducted separately by the Business Department, at its new quarters. (4) Brother Nelson now advertises his department, as "The Latter- day Saints' Business College." At the instance of Brother Done the matter was referred to the Board of Trustees, before whom he and Brother Nelson appeared and each explained his views and wishes on the subject. After due consideration the Board came to the conclusion that it could not consistently do otherwise than sustain the proposition taken by Brother Done. Besides the fact of his being President of the College, which is, in all of its departments, subject to his
