I always thought it was an effort by the church to eliminate the image of Mormons as "bearded polygamists"

Nothing to do with that. It was all about conservatism, and control...

I get the whole "clean cut" image for the church, but a well maintained beard shouldn't be banned.

Most professors hate enforcing it - so BYU uses every alternate means imaginable
