In 1909, Brigham Young University renamed and refocused the mission of its College. The Church Teachers College absorbed all of the Colleges departments but centered their energies into thoroughly preparing collegiate students to become high school educators. In 1920, when the College was split into the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Education, the Department of Physics retained its name and function under the administration of the School of Arts and Sciences. Chester Snow served as department chairman from 1909 to 1911, Harvey Fletcher served from 1911 to 1916, and Carl F. Eyring served from 1916 to 1929.
