Brigham Young University. Dept. of Biology (1908-1909)

After Brigham Young Academy in Provo, Utah became an university, academics were separated into three areas, the College, the Normal School, and the High School. The Department of Biology was organized in 1908 under the College, a result of the earlier division of the Department of Natural Science. When the College became the Church Teachers College in 1909 the department retained its name.
