Alice Louise Reynolds (April 1, 1873 – December 5, 1938)[1] was a Brigham Young University (BYU) professor.

She taught college-level courses at Brigham Young Academy until it dissolved into BYU, and she was the first woman to do so.

[2]: 277  She worked to establish the library at Brigham Young Academy, and through her efforts, she was able to collect over 100,000 donated volumes.

[7]: 12  The combination of these two events led George to send Alice and her younger sister Florence to the Brigham Young Academy (BYA) for high school, after short stints at Salt Lake Academy and Brigham Young College in Logan, Utah.

[1] She later pursued advanced study at Chicago, Cornell, Berkeley and Columbia,[2]: 280  and made four trips to Europe in 1906, 1910, 1924, and 1937.

She taught for a year at the Salt Lake 14th Ward Seminary and at Juab Stake Academy.

According to her students, she once walked through a herd of cows while reading a book and brought a teakettle to work instead of her purse.

Part of her work on the committee included a large fundraiser to obtain 1,200 books to add to the school's library.

[7]: 50  In 1920, as a delegate to the National Democratic Convention, she made a speech seconding the nomination for William Gibbs McAdoo for President.

[14] In the mid-20th century several cities in Utah, including St. George, had women's literary clubs named after Reynolds.

[15] Starting in 1978, women in Provo revived the Alice Louise Reynolds club in the form of the Alice Louise Reynolds forum, which discussed issues related to Mormon feminism, including their support for the Equal Rights Amendment.
