There existed in “Utah a need for a school fusing the highest in scientific and academic research with agriculture, the way of life for the vast majority of locals.” "Provo had received the Insane Asylum, Salt Lake City had the University and Capitol, and the majority of the legislature felt that the new institutions should be given to Weber and Cache Counties." Anthony H Lund
