Abstract

A chalk circle of honor, a memorial building, a statue: each of these items stand today on Brigham Young University campus as an echo from the past of a man who educated with love. Nearly a century after his death, the legacy of Karl G. Maeser is still remembered. Photographs of this man capture his penetrating eyes and feet ready to march forward in the cause of truth. Who was this man of excellence and character? Why did his students revere him to such a degree?
