In 1909, Brigham Young University renamed and refocused the mission of its College. The Church Teachers College absorbed all of the College's departments but centered their energies into thoroughly preparing collegiate students to become high school educators. In 1919 the Department of Physics was merged with Mathematics to form a new Department of Mathematics and Physics. 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.
