| Biographical/Historical Note |
John G. Lind came to the U.S. from Sweden at the age of five. Lind began teaching Latin, as well as natural and physical sciences, at Weber Stake Academy in 1896. He continued his education for many years, earning a Masters of the Arts from Illinois Wesleyan University in 1904. In 1907, Lind took a sabbatical from the renamed Weber Academy to embark on a mission to Germany for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After the mission (which ended early due to illness) Lind enrolled in the University of Jena and Heidelberg University in Germany, earning a Ph. D from the latter in Naturalis Creamus, literally Natural Creations, in 1910. His graduate studies focused on Geology and Minerology, and he wrote his dissertation on the geology and hydrology of the mountains outside Heidelberg. Lind returned to Weber in 1910 and served for nearly 30 more years, retiring from the college in 1938. |
