Karl E. Young Collection
Young, Karl E.. - : L. Tom Perry Special Collections
Abstract: Personal and professional correspondence, drafts of articles, and research notes on a variety of subjects including English, history of the American West, and the culture of Native Americans. ; Author and professor of English at Brigham Young University. He died in 1990. Karl E. Young, son of Francis Marion Young and Anna Genevra Ebyert Young, was born on August 8, 1903, in a log cabin on Ashley Creek near Vernal, Utah. His father was a sheep rancher in the area. When Karl was six weeks old, his parents became missionaries in Samoa. Instead of English, Samoan was first language.After two and a half years, the family returned to Utah, where Karl's father turned to school teaching and business rather than the riskier living of sheep ranching. He was a teacher and principal in Provo, Moab, and Logan city schools. He also ran the Vernal express and took Karl with him on commercial expeditions. It is here that Karl's fascination with Native American Indians began.The Youngs moved to Provo where Karl was educated at LDS and Brigham Young High schools. Karl wanted to major in forestry at Utah State Agricultural College so that he could spend the rest of his life in the outdoors. With the help of Professor Frank Arnold, who took a particular interest in Karl and became one of the greatest influences of his life, Karl found a job collecting delinquent bills for a local doctor. Arnold was the head of the language department and it wasn't long until Karl changed his major from forestry to French. Karl graduated from Utah State in 1924 with B.A. in French, earning his degree in three years. He then studied English at Harvard for one year. As a Rhodes Scholar, he attended Oxford University for three years, where he studied English language and literature and was awarded his B.A. and W.A. (M.A.) degrees. He also received a certificate to teach French language from the University of Toulous in France. Later in life, he received a similar award for his studies of Spanish language in Mexico. He also won a scholarship at UCLA in 1963 for the study of teaching English as a second language.In 1929 Elma Bennion, daughter of Edwin and Mary Elizabeth Lindsay Bennion, met Karl in Europe and they were married in 1930. They had two children, Mary Elizabeth and David Frank.Karl joined the B.Y.U. faculty in 1930 as an Assistant Professor. His main areas of study were French and English. As the University grew in size, he devoted himself solely to English, working especially in the area of sixteenth-century Renaissance literature. He taught in many other areas like English grammar, Shakespeare, and Old English as well. During the last twenty years of his career, he directed the freshman English and the English as a Second Language programs. He achieved full professorship and retained it until his retirement in 1971. After retirement, Karl continued to do work for B.Y.U. Independent Study.One of Karl's hobbies that dominated his academic life was learning about the Indians of the plains buffalo culture and the pueblo dwellers of the Rio Grande Valley in Arizona. In 1924 he spent a summer among the Crows in Montana, and he and his wife have made trips to attend ceremonial dances whenever the chance afforded. Karl also organized and promoted a group of Indian dancers that toured the country to preform their ritual dances. In 1983, he led a B.Y.U. Alumni tour group on a study of Indians in New Mexico.Karl also spent six months in Mexico on a grant from the University for a research project. His project was to record stories from older Mormon colonists in Chihuahua, Mexico, which dealt with the trials and hardships suffered by those people during the revolution in Mexico (1910 to 1920). He prepared a collection of these stories under the title Ordeal in Mexico, four chapters of which were published by B.Y.U. in February 1967 as the first number of the Charles E. Merrill Monograph Series in the Humanities and Social Sciences.Karl also had several articles published in The American West, The Improvement Era, B.Y.U. Studies and the Quarterly of the Utah Historical Society, and a number of reviews in Western American Literature. He was also a distinguished lecturer at B.Y.U. functions and for the Kiwanis Club. Professor Young died August 21, 1990, in Provo, Utah. The Karl E. Young Collection contains Karl's personal and professional correspondence, draft articles he submitted for publication, and research notes on a variety of subjects dealing both with his discipline of English and his avocational activities in Western United States history and Native American culture. Karl's time at Harvard and Oxford Universities are also documented through correspondence and class notebooks he kept during these years. This collection also includes research notecards, tapes, and research notes Karl used for his articles and stories on Native Americans and the Mormon Church colonists in Mexico. Included as well are numerous lecture notes and class outlines used in his English classes during his tenure as a professor of English at Brigham Young University.
