[edit] History
The Salt Lake Academy was founded in 1886, with high school, normal, business and college courses of study.
In 1888, it was renamed the Salt Lake Stake Academy.
In 1889, it was renamed Latter-day Saints' University, sometimes spelled Latter-day Saints University, and by 1895 was offering a four-year course of study culminating in a Ph.B. degree.
Latter-day Saints never became a fully functioning university and was displaced as the preeminent LDS higher learning center by Brigham Young University in the early 20th century.
The college was closely linked with Latter-day Saints High School. Among the graduates of the LDS High school were George W. Romney (1926) and Gordon B. Hinckley (1928).
In 1927 the name of LDS University was changed to LDS College and then simply to LDS Business College, as the other higher-education functions were gone.
Two of the school's presidents were James E. Talmage and Bryant S. Hinckley.
For many years it was located in a former mansion along South Temple east of the Salt Lake Temple at 411 East South Temple. As part of the LDS Church's attempts to revitalize downtown Salt Lake City, LDS Business College moved to the Triad Center in the summer of 2006.
