This article presents data on the history of women at the University of Utah from 1850 to 1915 in an effort to put into perspective the meaning behind the inclusion of women at the beginning of the institution at a time when that was still relatively uncommon nationwide. Information is drawn from an in-depth review of all primary resources in the Records Center and Archives of the University of Utah. Other relevant collections and manuscripts at the University of Utah and the Historical Department, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Salt Lake City, were also consulted. The findings lead to the conclusion that the inclusion of women had a pragmatic economic base, did not give them equal access to University resources, increasingly reinforced prevalent social expectations by educating them for roles as wives, mothers and teachers and was not rooted in a basic commitment to equal education for men and women.

The first Areal Meeting of Districts VI, VII, and VIII was held in Salt Lake City on September 8, 9, and 10, 1947. There was an attendance of 350, the majority of whom were from District VIII, although there was a fair representation from other parts of the country. The time of year was ideal for a combined meeting and vacation. The scientific sessions—which are presented here in abstract form—were held September 8 and 9, at the University of Utah Union Building, where there was also a good arrangement of the technical exhibits. Clinical sessions were held on September 10 at the Salt Lake County General Hospital. A very comprehensive and representative program was prepared by Dr. John A. Anderson, State Chairman of the Academy for Utah, and his committees. Dr. Lee Forrest Hill, President of the Academy, reviewed the history of the Academy since its inception, its aims and policies as interpreted by the Executive Board and discussed the Child Health Study and some of its implications in planning for the future of child care. The pediatricians of Utah and the local committees are to be congratulated for the excellent detailed planning of the scientific sessions, and clinics. The program of entertainment for all Academy members and their wives was a highlight of the meeting.

A Department of Geophysics was organized at the University of Utah in September, 1947 under the direction of Professors C. E. Jacob and H. V. W. Donohoo. The course of instruction is based on the philosophy that geophysicists or geologists working in industry require sound training in basic sciences and mathematics, as well as orientation courses in the applied fields. It was further considered that, in general, the physicists' treatment of such subjects as mechanics, electricity, and magnetism, and electronics is more useful to the geophysicist than is the engineering approach. With these ideas in mind, the following curriculum has been evolved. The course is a full one, making it necessary to put such valuable studies as physical chemistry, thermodynamics, geomorphology, and others on the elective list. A laboratory course in well logging methods is offered as an elective, as are several courses in pure geophysics-geodesy, seismology, geomagnetics, oceanography, etc.
