Show 1932 HISTORY 1951 1932 The College was accredited by the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools. 1933 Weber College, transferred by gift to the State of Utah, became a state-supported junior college operated under the direction of the Utah State Board of Education. 1934 By Federal Grant, extensive remodeling of the Moench Building and landscaping of the campus as it now stands was made possible. 1935 Leland H. Greer became president. Administrative committees were inaugurated. 1937 Henry Aldous Dixon became president for the second time. 1938 The Vocational Building was constructed by grant of $65,592 from the Public Works Adminstration for the erection of a building to cost $142,760. The Central Building was purchased from the Ogden City Board of Education by authorization of Governor Henry H. Blood. 1939 Weber College became a member of the American Council on Education. 3940 The dormitory on 24th Street was acquired as a gift from the Weber County Commissioners. 1941 The dormitory on Adams Avenue was purchased by authorization of the Governor. The first Certificate of Completion was conferred on all terminal students. 1944 Eighty acres of Snow Basin was leased from the U. S. Forest Service for a summer school and winter sports refuge site. 1945 The War Production Training Program was discontinued May 31. From an appropriation of $99,826, authorized by Governor Herbert Maw, the following properties were purchased: The Rich corner on Jefferson Avenue and 25th Street; the Rich, the Thorne, and the Flygare properties on Jefferson; the Utah 1946 Oil corner on Jefferson and 24th Street; the Anderson and the Tracy properties on 24th; the remaining holdings of the Zion Security Corporation on 24th Street and on Jefferson; and property on Porter Avenue between 25th Street and 26th Street. 1947 The State Legislature appropriated $50,000 for Weber College to secure an adequate campus site, on condition that the community raise a like amount. A community-wide drive netted more than the $50,000, which made possible the purchase of 175 acres of land extending between 37th and 40th Streets, and from Harrison Boulevard to the mountains. Through a grant from the Federal Works Agency, six temporary buildings (18,000 square feet) were moved to the campus. 1948 The State board of Examiners appropriated $250,000 toward the first building on the new campus. The Eccles home, located on the northeast corner of Jefferson Avenue and 26th Street was presented to Weber College by Royal Eccles on behalf of the children of Bertha Eccles. The home is now known as the Bertha Eccles Hall. 1949 House Bill 2, approving a four year educational program at Weber College in the fields of Arts and Science, Business, and Education, passed the Utah State Senate and the House of Representatives. The bill was vetoed by Governor Lee and failed to become law. 1950 The central section of the entrance-way to the new Weber College campus was completed. The entire project was financed by means of a $25,000 contribution of the Ogden Rotary Club. 1951 The Utah State Board of Examiners approved $1,150,000 for buildings on the new Weber College campus. Plans were completed and costruction started. The stadium was scheduled for completion by the Autumn of 1951.
