Utah Agricultural College, Logan, Utah
Just as today, college kids then had fun pulling pranks so nothing has really changed. In one scene where a group of “innocent-looking students” are gathered, there is a sign on either a student or dummy that says, “pussy.” That definitely would not go over well in today’s world. But then, in today’s world it has an entirely different meaning.
In Logan for the 1913/1914 year some of the events that took place were:
~The Lyric Theatre, built by the Thatcher family opened to the public. Sadly, in 2023, due to the amount of snow that was received, the building could not be used until the summer.
~The Logan City Offices were relocated to the Arimo Block at 172-180 North Main and remained there until 1963.
~The first city operated outdoor recreation park was established on the east half of Tabernacle Square.
~The Bluebird Restaurant and Candy Company was established on West Center Street by Guy Cardon and Mark Neuberger. It is one of the oldest restaurants in Cache Valley and the state of Utah.
~The Logan Rapid Transit Company and the Ogden Rapid Transit Company, both owned by the Eccles Corporation, were merged into the Ogden, Logan & Idaho Railway Company. Sixteen trains operated daily between Ogden and Preston, a run that required 5 hours.
~1914, December ~ Construction of the Utah-Idaho Hospital located at the corner of 200 North and 300 East was completed. It was the first nursing training school in the state of Utah to require high school graduation of all its applicants for admission.
