1843 - A group of seven or eight young men, some from New York City, visited Nauvoo and the Prophet Joseph Smith. He showed them the "fallacy of Mr. Miller's data concerning the coming of Christ" who had predicted the time Jesus Christ was to return to the earth. He informed the young men that Mr. Miller "was in want of correct information upon the subject, and that he was not so much to blame as the translators [of the Bible]" (History of the Church, 5:272). He then taught them that all the prophecies must be fulfilled before the Savior would come again.
1955 - The site for building the Church College of Hawaii, later Brigham Young University-Hawaii, is dedicated by President David O. McKay during a groundbreaking service.
