Maeser
was appointed the first general superintendent of LDS Church schools

Young Academy until 1892. In 1889 the Mormon Church Board of Education
gave Maeser a degree of Doctor of Letters and Didactics. He published
his views of education in School and Fireside in 1898. Maeser died on
15 February 1901.
