Approved by First Presidency . . .

President Stresses Standards

(Note: The following was written by President Ernest L. Wilkinson in a letter sent in July to parents of all BYU students.)

. . .

Our young men in the mission field are advised not to wear long hair or to let their beards or long, heavy sideburns grow because they have the obligation to represent the Church in the most favorable manner. For the same reason, the standards at BYU should be just as high as those in the mission field.
