Show William P. Miller President The school year 1960-61 is important in the history of Weber College and the theme "Four-cast" is especially appropriate for this publication. The members of the freshman class of this year will have the honor of being members of the first graduating class with baccalaureate degrees in the spring of 1964. Thus, this year is one of research, study and planning by the faculty and staff to prepare for this important expansion, and to insure that the traditional high quality of the Weber College program will be extended into these added courses. This school year will see the new student union building nearing completion. It is possible that this building may be ready for use before the year ends. This new building will be a monument to the efforts of thousands of students who have contributed building fees beginning with the 1953-54 school year. The expansion of the college program into upper division work will open the doors of opportunity to hundreds of people in the Weber College area who previously have been denied the privilege of completing the required work for a college degree. There has never been a time in the history of the world when higher education has been as important as it is today. The actual security of our democratic way of life depends on the extent and quality of higher education. I sincerely trust that the students who enter this expanded program will fully measure up to their great opportunities. ADMINISTRATION The expansion of Weber College to four years, the addition of a union building, a gymnasium, and other buildings as provided by the legislature, and the development of curricula leading to the bachelor's degree represent great progress in creating an institution which will more efficiently serve the increasing needs of our area. The rapidly increasing number of high school graduates will be able to secure a higher education at less cost and at the same time will be able to contribute to the community while attending college. Higher education is an investment which pays rich dividends in increased creativeness, skills, and better citizenship. - R. A. Clarke Dean of Faculty Robert A. Clarke Dean of Faculty Clarisse H. Hall Registrar William D. Stratford Dean of Men James R. Foulger Treasurer Marva Gregory Dean of Women |
