On the Cover: Portrait of William Primrose by Randall Davey

Randall Davey (1887-1964) was an American painter and educator in New Mexico. He graduated from Cornell University in 1909 and was primarily a portrait and equine painter, but also painted landscapes and still life. His artwork was acquired by numerous national museums, and the Portrait of William Primrose can be found at the entrance to the Primrose Room located in the Harold B. Lee Library on the campus of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.
