On completion of a full two-year course, either the Degree of Associate of Arts or the Associate of Science is conferred. In 1922-23, eleven degrees were conferred; 1923-24, twenty-four; 1924- 25, forty-three. On July 1, 1924, President Heber J. Grant, in behalf of the church, contributed to the Weber College Board of Trustees the sum of $8,000 with which the Sheehan property, a plot of land 332 ft. by 84 ft., was purchased. This property is in the center of the block facing Adams Avenue on the west. Perhaps one of the greatest achievements of the Weber College is the completion of the Weber Gymnasium. The idea of the Weber Gymnasium for Ogden City grew out of the power and enthusiasm of David 0. McKay, a former principal of the institution. That idea has been nourished and fostered by the Weber College Board of Trustees, its faculty and hundreds of loyal students through a period of twenty-one years. Its completion and opening to the public January 9, 1925, marks a great achievement of the Weber College, the four Ogden Stakes of the Church, and the community at large. This gymnasium cost approximately $300,000.00. One-half of that amount was contributed by the church, the other half by the people of Ogden City and Weber County. » ! «.
