Building BYU-Idaho

President Clark said that when President Gordon B. Hinckley announced BYU–Idaho the administration had to try to form a new 4-year-college around the core of Ricks College. Clark said that they had to make decisions on what they were going to keep and change in developing and establishing BYU–Idaho, which has been happening for a decade. Clark referred us to a talk by President Henry B. Eyring titled “A Steady Upward Course” given Sept. 2001 that talks about how the school wanted to build the university.
