Administrative History

The Young Ladies' Association (approx. 1891-1903) was a religious instruction and social organization at Brigham Young Academy.

The Young Ladies' Association was established in approximately 1891, and operated in conjunction with the Theological Organization, Department of Theology, and Sunday School at the academy. The group initially met once a week, later moving to bi-weekly meetings.
