44 ships for graduates of the College. Included among this type of grants are those offered by the University of Utah, Utah State University, Brigham Young University, Westminster College, as well as many senior institutions outside the State. Assistantships Deserving and capable high school graduates are granted assistantships for stenographic or laboratory work in the college departments. These awards give financial assistance, excellent experience and highly desirable professional contact with departmental faculty members. Selections are made by the faculty members concerned, the Scholarship Committee and the Placement Office. Loan Funds The College maintains a student aid fund administered by the Student Aid Committee. Loan funds available are the following: 1. The Weber College Faculty Women's Fund, a small loan fund to assist a limited number of students. 2. The Ogden Rotary Club Fund, a sizable loan fund for worthy students. 3. The Wheelwright Student-Faculty Loan Fund, established in 1946 by David R. Wheelwright. The contribution of $2,000 was made with the idea that it be a perpetual trust fund to be loaned to worthy, needy students and also to faculty members. Application for these funds may be made to the College Treasurer. PLACEMENT AND FOLLOW-UP SERVICE The purpose of the Weber College Placement and Follow-up Service is two-fold: (1) to assist students in securing part-time employment while attending college, and (2) to assist graduates in obtaining permanent positions. The College works in cooperation with the local employment office of the Utah State Department of Employment Security to find suitable employment opportunities for students and to maintain current and accurate information concerning employment and occupational trends. THE COMMUNITY SERVICE The community assists the College in accomplishing the aims of its curriculum and services by reason of its location, the nature of its enterprises, and its environment. The natural advantages of Ogden City and its area are shared by the College and its students in such ways as the following: 1. The businesses, shops, and industries of Ogden City provide outstanding opportunities which enable students to take part-time employment and to work while they learn. This advantage is espe- 45 cially helpful in making arrangements for courses where both theory and practice are essential. Ogden is particularly attractive as a technical trade-training center because of the openings available to students who complete training courses in the trades. 2. The location of the community which the College serves enables it to cooperate with the high schools and senior institutions, the homes, and the students who are graduated from Box Elder, Davis, Morgan, and Weber County Districts. These students may live at home and attend college, a social and economic advantage to parents and students. 3. The Ogden locality affords abundant opportunity for field trips, observation, and study in courses in the sciences and the arts. Field trips in such subjects as botany, zoology, engineering, geography, geology, social sciences, art, and photography are regularly scheduled. Situated forty miles from the Utah State Capital, and within driving distance to mining and industrial interests of the magnitude of the Geneva Steel Mills and the Bingham Copper Mines, the College has access to these additional educational resources of the community. 4. The environmental features of the Ogden locality afford such recreational opportunities as mountain hiking, trout fishing, hunting, boating, swimming, golfing, motoring, skating, and skiing, all of which are utilized in the activity program of the College.
