85 years ago today - Feb 26, 1929

Met with the committee reading B H R[obert]'s ms from 8:15 to 11 am.

[Note: His magnum opus - The The Truth, The Way, The Life was not published until the 1990s due to concerns about his discussion of "pre-Adamites". Joseph Fielding Smith in particular was a strong anti-evolutionist. Ironically his book was published by two separate publishers on the same day - Signature Books and BYU Studies.]
