Title	[James E. Talmage, ca. 1882]
Description	In 1888 Professor Maeser was called as the first superintendent of Church Schools, although he was not immediately relieved of his duties as principal of the Academy. The following year the Board of Education conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Letters and Didactics at a time when he was busy establishing academies throughout the Church. He was away much of the time, and the Academy Board selected James E. Talmage to replace Dr. Maeser as principal. Talmage, an immigrant from England in 1876, entered the academy soon after his arrival in Utah and later was employed as a teacher. In 1882 he was given a leave of absence to obtain a bachelor's degree from Lehigh University. Later he studied an additional year at Johns Hopkins University and returned to the Academy as teacher of chemistry and geology. Professor Talmage accepted the principalship but never served. He had done little more than outline plans for the ensuing year when he was called by the presiding authorities of the Church to the principalship of the Salt Lake Academy, afterwards the Latter-day Saints College and still later the LDS University. Dr. Maeser stayed on as BYA principal. In 1890 when Benjamin Cluff, Jr., returned from the University of Michigan with his bachelor's degree, he was made assistant principal, a position he held until January 4, 1892, when he became principal. Dr. Talmage went on to become president of the University of Deseret and an apostle in the Church. Brigham Young University named the James E. Talmage Mathematical Sciences and Computer Building in his honor in 1974.
