"Here is another story of unusual achievement. Son of an immigrant widow, Dr. Widtsoe climbed the ladder of education until it was said of him that "owing to his recent study in Europe (he) is now as well qualified as any one in the country for work in physiological chemistry, in fact I think there is no one in America so well equipped." He has stood at the head of education in his state as president of the two highest state institutions of learning, yet the faith implanted by his mother was so genuine and firm that he left his career as an educator to be a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles."
