At a special presentation following his devotional address at Brigham Young University (BYU) on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, a plaque was unveiled honoring President Dallin H. Oaks of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with an inscription from his talk.
“I firmly believe,” the quote says, “that it is the destiny of Brigham Young University to become what past and present prophets knew it could become. With the consecration and leadership of this community, BYU will become the great university of the Lord — not in the world’s way but in the Lord’s way.”
This plaque will be placed at the Carillon Bell Tower and will accompany a separate one from former Church President Spencer W. Kimball’s dedication of the musical landmark on BYU’s campus on October 10, 1975.
