DeVerl Stratford Humpherys

Many knew DeVerl as the first Electrical Engineering Professor hired by BYU in 1964, where he worked until retirement in 1995. Some will know him as the Y-Mountain Man due to his 300+ consecutive monthly hikes to the top of Y Mountain; a goal that took him 25 years to complete! Others recognize him as their “walking friend” due to his daily walks from home up to Mile High Drive and back.
