Here is an interesting look into the resources and early conservation efforts and philosophies presented to young Utahns at the University of Utah at the beginning of the twentieth century. Author Joshua Hughes Paul (see below) later became a president of Brigham Young College (BYU). From Wikipedia: Joshua Hughes Paul (20 January 1863 - 6 March 1939) was a Mormon university president, newspaper editor and Latter-Day Saints missionary. Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Mormon pioneer James Patten Paul and Elizabeth Evans, the stepfather and mother of Martha Hughes Cannon, J.H. Paul as a boy herded cows for Mormon President Brigham Young. After learning carpentry from his father, he worked at the Salt Lake Brewery before entering the Latter-day Saints University in the same city, but, as no degrees were awarded at the former at that time, he had to continue his studies at Illinois Wesleyan University, where he graduated in 1905. After graduation, Joshua Hughes Paul became an instructor and later professor at the University of Utah. From 1891 to 1894, he was President of the Brigham Young College (later Brigham Young University, at Provo, Utah, where he contributed greatly to growth of the institution; President of the Agricultural College of Utah (now Utah State University) from 1895 to 1897; President of the Latter Day Saints College from 1899 to 1926, and then a teacher at the University of Utah until 1926.
