Biographical HistoryBenjamin Cluff Jr. became president of Brigham Young Academy on
January 4, 1892, the first to carry that title. During his administration the
school developed from a normal school with a very small college department into
a university. President Cluff was instrumental in founding the Alumni
Association and in initiating the summer school.
One of the highlights of his career as president was his sponsorship
in 1900 of a South American expedition to engage in archaeological study of
Book of Mormon sites. Returning from his expedition, he served as president of
the University until December 1903. From 1895 to 1898 and possibly later
President Cluff was President of the People’s Canal and Irrigation Company of
Idaho.
Scope and Content NoteThe correspondence files of President Cluff lack the first year of his
administration. The papers extent cover 1893-1903 and are incoming except for
1897-1900. This includes his correspondence as President of the People’s Canal
and Irrigation Company and a considerable collection of letters between
Acting-President George H. Brimhall and Cluff while the latter was in South
America. Some unidentified photographs from the expedition are also available.
Much of the correspondence is routine, containing such items as requests for:
educators railroad fares, information about tuition etc. at Brigham Young
Academy, recommendations, and requests from teachers seeking placement in the
church school system and Brigham Young Academy. There are also inquiries by
principals pertaining to prospective teachers, inquiries by parents of students
and many business letters. As Superintendent of the Church Board of Education
Karl G. Maeser wrote many letter to Pres. Cluff. There are also letters from
former students. From Sept. 1893 to Feb. 1894 President Cluff was away at Ann
Arbor which necessitated extensive correspondence between President Cluff and
George Brimhall. In 1898 the Beaver Branch of the Brigham Young Academy was
established which resulted in a volume of correspondence on this subject.
