[Nauvoo Temple] Over 700 Latter-day Saints gathered in a conference at Nauvoo, under the direction of Byrant S. Hinckley (Northern States Mission President), commemorating the centennial of the city's founding, as well as the death of Joseph Smith and Hyrum Smith. The activities sparked a mission to restore Nauvoo.

    Bryant S. is of course Gordon B.'s father who authorized the rebuilding of the Nauvoo temple 60 years later. Much more importantly, Nauvoo needs to have a university built there, restoring and greatly expanding the original University of Nauvoo of the 1840s.
