Manuscripts
Thesis presented by LaRoy DeVar Saline for the Master of Arts in Education degree at Arizona State College at Tempe. Focuses on the development of the Mormon-chartered St. Joseph Stake Academy (the current Eastern Arizona College), and attempts to "narrate historically six decades of [its] development as a pioneer institution...[including] the successive stages of the Institution from its parochial grammar school origin through its academic, normal, and junior college levels." Chapters include a history of the Gila Valley (focusing on Mormon settlement), the educational background of St. Joseph Stake Academy (including early education in the territory of Arizona, Mormon philosophy of education, and early education in Utah), the founding of the St. Joseph Stake Academy in 1890, and its academic evolution over time.
