Title	[Brigham Young Academy faculty, 1891]
Description	This photograph, taken in 1891, pictures Dr. Maeser, center, amid faculty on the steps of the then unfinished Academy Building, where he never taught. He had nurtured the fledgling Academy through the difficult years of the old warehouse, but on the day the new Academy Building was opened, January 4, 1892, the old professor was replaced as principal by Benjamin Cluff, Jr., at his left in this picture. Dr. Maeser had been superintendent of Church Schools since 1888 and continued to serve also as principal until 1892. His son, Reinhard, likened him to Moses:"For sixteen years the Academy had grown under his leadership. He had convinced all Israel of the potency of its unique mission in the educating and training of her youth. Like a Moses he had cleft the rock of ignorance and streams of living truth had gushed forth. He led the school to its new home--the home which he had seen years before in vision. It was here while standing upon the threshold of the magnificent structure, that he laid his mantle upon the shoulders of a Joshua and wept as did Moses from Pisgah's heights." Faculty members in the picture: 1. J. E. Booth; 2. Ephraim Gowans; 3. Dr. Milton Hardy; 4. Karl G. Maeser; 5. William E Rydalch; 6. Benjamin Cluff; 7. Wilson H. Dusenberry; 8. E A. Wilson; 9.

Hyrum Anderson.
