Show Thomas E. McKay, fourteen years member, five years President of Weber's Board of Trustees; John V. Bluth, George E. Browning, Robert I. Burton, Henry H. Blood, William O. Stevens, and Howard Randall, prominent busy men of affairs, serve Weber's larger community as an advisory body to Weber's President. They are men who, having gone over most of the road themselves, keep alive the idea that life is good, that there is in it an inexhaustible fountain of joy provided young people equip themselves properly. It is with concern for that equipment that they counsel the way, displaying confidence always in youths' ability to solve its own problems in a complex age. They are great-souled men, generous, with a distinct sense of the loyalty of individual responsibility to college affairs, in administration and activity; they are men with the echo of Weber's yesterday in their hearts who serve the Weber of today with thought of the Weber of tomorrow. President Aaron W. Tracy is dynamically identified with a cause, a Weber College for Ogden, to sense and to serve her community's individualism, a college built reverently secure upon the ideals of Weber's founders. He works concretely in a larger faith for the accomplishment of his educational vision by administering a program for campus at the door of Ogden community's heart; so that her people of youth and maturity may "open the door" night or day to enjoy opportunities which permit education of feeling and intellect, which permit a larger development of the aesthetic life wherein intellect may be born out of the soil of emotion. With a fine sense of Weber's traditions conceived out of the mind and heart of her own people, he weaves into the warp and weft of her structure ideals out of many institutions which contribute to her individuality, feeling that Weber is the designer of her. own pattern which he, in the ideal of perfection, finds the real joy in perfecting. |
