Brigham Young University. College of Religious Instruction
The College of Religious Instruction was born in 1959 when the Division of Religion was discontinued due to growth in university enrollment. As university enrollment grew, religious class enrollment grew, as every student was required to engage in a religious class each semester. The following individuals served as deans of the college: David H. Yarn, Jr. (1959-1963), B. West Belnap (1964-1967), Daniel H. Ludlow (1968-1971), Roy W. Doxey (1972-1973), Jeffrey R. Holland (1974-1976), and Ellis T. Rasmussen (1976-).
