Image Captions Registration can be accomplished at convenient times before the opening day of school. Belated students were to be registered during the evening of the first week of school. Enrollments at Weber were rather static during the first years of state control with 683 students enrolled during the 1933-1934 school year, 691 during 1934-1935, 659 during 1935-1936, 613 during 1936-1937, 705 during 1937-1938, and 875 during 1938-1939. Requirements for entrance to Weber College at this time included an official transcript of credit from an approved high school which indicated that the candidate had completed satisfactorily at least 15 units of high school work. The completed high school work was to include three units of English, one of algebra, one of geometry, one of history, one of science, and eight electives. A student who was nineteen years of age or older who had not completed the full high school course could be admitted by the president as a non-matriculated student. Because of the difficult financial times, some students worked in and around the college to pay for their tuition. The State Board allowed the college president to make tuition decisions concerning payments and work. The Fall Quarter for 1933 began on September 13 and ended on December 7 with a break for Thanksgiving. Instruction for the Winter Quarter began on December 11 and ended on March 9 with a Christmas break (December 16 January 1), and Spring Quarter began on March 13 with a baccalaureate service held on May 27 and commencement exercises on June 1,1934. A summer school session continued to be held at the college with the restriction that it would be held at no cost to the state. The 1934 summer session enrolled 54 students. During the 1933-1934 school year, the Moench Building was rented to the Ogden Stake for monthly meetings at a cost of 200 for the year. The gymnasium was rented to the Ogden Chamber of Commerce for 300 for two hours daily for basketball practice during the year and games to be played during basketball season. Weber Gymnasium fees for non-students were 20 a year for business men and 17.50 a year for business women. Graduation requirements from Weber College included the completion of at least ninety-six quarter hours of work, and all candidates for graduation were required to be present at the baccalaureate and commencement exercises, unless excused by the president. Courses of instruction were divided into four divisions in the College: humanities, social sciences, biological sciences, and physical sciences. Humanities included the departments of art, English, foreign languages, music, and philosophy. Social Sciences included the department of economics and business administration; the department of education; the department of history and political science; and the department of sociology, anthropology, and archaeology. The division of biological sciences included the department of botany, forestry and agriculture; the department of health and physical education; the department of home economics; the department of hygiene and bacteriology; the department of zoology, physiology, anatomy, and psychology. The division of physical sciences included the department of chemistry; the department of geology, geography, and mineralogy; the department of physics; and the department of mathematics and engineering. Art courses, although listed, were not taught because no faculty members were hired. Many of the areas had only one or two courses listed in the catalog. Automobile construction and operation were courses listed under the area of engineering, and courses in radio were listed under physics. With the 1933-1934 school year, there was a substantial change in faculty. A majority of new faculty members joined with a number of faculty who had already taught at Weber. The faculty included Thatcher Allred (dramatic arts), Leland Monson (English), Marion Read (English), David Trevithick (English), C. M. Nilsson (English), Nancy Barker (foreign languages), Eva Browning
