"Brigham was not opposed to secular knowledge or universities; some of his sons had even attended colleges in the eastern United States. Yet he worried that young Saints in Utah were being taught by people who were deeply critical of the restored gospel. The University of Deseret (later the University of Utah), first established in 1850, enrolled students from other churches and did not teach Latter-day Saint beliefs as part of the curriculum. Brigham wanted the youth of Church to have educational opportunities that strengthened their faith and helped to create a Zion society." (No Unhallowed Hand, Saints Volume 2, pgs. 420-421).
