The First Presidency participated in a ceremony in which Elder Bernard P. Brockbank, an Assistant to the Twelve, donated some personal property to the University of Utah on Jan. 17, 1975.
President Spencer W. Kimball and his counselors, President N. Eldon Tanner and President Marion G. Romney, as well as other Church representatives, attended the event on the university campus, according to the Jan. 17, 1975, issue of the Deseret News.
What university president David P. Gardner said would be called the "Bernard P. Brockbank Bicentennial Park," was 300 acres adjacent to the campus. It included two lime kilns that were built by pioneers in the 1850s.
