Summary

The year 2000 marks both the turn of the millennium and the sesquicentennial of the University of Utah. From its humble beginnings as the University of Deseret three years after the Mormon pioneers entered the Great Salt Lake Valley to its current stature as the flagship institution of the Mountain West, its community of faculty, staff, students, friends, and alumni have sought to make the University of Utah a center of distinction.
Celebrating 150 years of excellence, this volume offers a fond look at the U's past, takes stock of the present, and points the way to the next century. Professor Craig Denton draws on a family connection spanning four generations to bring to life the drama, tradition, and substance of the University of Utah. His words and photographic images present the U in its aspects as both a "peculiarly Western university" and a nationally ranked research center.
This is a book for those who take pride in their connection to the University of Utah and its achievements. And it is a book for those who look to the U's future with optimism for its continuing excellence.
