The Future Weber College Is Yours BECAUSE Your State Legislature of 1947-48 appropriated $50,000 for the future Weber College campus and set aside an additional sum of $250,000 for the planning and beginning of the building program. Eighty community leaders served with the College administration as an advisory planning committee in the interest of the future Weber. The Ogden Chamber of Commerce headed a community-wide drive for funds to match the sum appropriated by the State, and underwrote the $50,000 to be collected during the summer. The Weber College Development Fund Committee, composed of representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, labor, veterans, school administrators, and other members of the community acted at this time, and continue to serve as trustees of the Weber College Development Fund. When more than the needed funds had been collected to purchase the site for the new campus, the Committee approved funds to employ architects who are drawing up long-range plans for buildings and grounds. The beautiful ISO-acre tract, between 37th and 40th Streets, Harrison Boulevard and the mountains, lies on the foothills which command a panoramic view of Ogden, Weber County, and the lands spreading westward to the shores of the Great Salt Lake. The College is looking forward to the completion of the first building when the Legislature in its next session makes available the appropriation for this purpose. Students who are enrolling in increased numbers are creating new and greater needs for the future Weber College that can bewhatever its students and community determine it to be. For the continued interest and substantial service of the State, students and community, the College takes this opportunity to express its appreciation. Henry Aldous Dixon, President of Weber College.
