The Museums The Zoological Collection, a collection of vertebrate animals, mostly from the Intermountain Region, is housed in the Department of Biology in the Moench Building. Preserved amphibians and reptiles, as well as standard study skins of birds and mammals form the nucleus of what is intended to become a survey collection of the vertebrates of the western United States. Several cases of mounted specimens and a synoptic survey of insects and other invertebrates are also available for study. The Weber College Herbarium is housed in the Department of Botany, Agriculture and Forestry. The herbarium is representative of the plants of Weber County and is being rapidly expanded to cover the flora of Utah and adjacent states. It also contains two hundred sheets of South Pacific plants, and several hundred plants from the eastern states. The hebarium is open to Weber College students and to others whose training is such as to enable them to profit by its use. The Geological Museum is located in the Department of Geology, West Central Building. The several collections of minerals, ores, rocks, and fossils add interest to geology classes. More than 150 species of fossil illustrate the development of life during geologic times. Part of the several hundred specimens are arranged according to Dana, and others are from important or interesting localities. The rock collections, consisting of more than 300 specimens, are arranged to show rock types and localities. A very important collection is the John G. Lind collection of ores, minerals, and rocks collected during more than forty years of service by Dr. Lind. It includes large suites of specimens from mining areas and elsewhere in Europe, Mexico, and the United States. All these are housed in the West Central Building. 37 COLLEGE BOOKSTORE AND STORES DEPARTMENT The College Bookstore is maintained for the convenience of students and faculty.

FINANCIAL AID Scholarships Weber College grants tuition scholarships to neighboring high schools in accordance with the State law governing this activity. The numbers of awards granted to each school are based upon the percentage of freshmen in attendance from the respective schools during the previous year. Selections are made through the cooperation of the high school principals and faculty, the College division heads, and the Awards, Scholarship, and Eligibility Committee.
