Dallin H. Oaks, 8th president of Brigham Young University
President Dallin H. Oaks left his imprint on the University. He continued the building program of his predecessor with the enlargement of the bookstore, construction of the Law School (authorized during the Wilkinson Administration), and erection of a new library addition equal in size to the original structure. He also witnessed the construction by the Church of the Language Training Mission near the University and announced a drive for funds to construct a large graduate school of management. Of more importance, he accelerated the intellectual renaissance of the faculty and strived for perfection of performance in all areas of the University.
