Temporary quarters were secured in the Second Ward Meeting House, Ogden, where the school was formerly opened January 9, 1889, with Louis F. Moench as principal. The attendance, though small at first, increased so rapidly that it was found necessary to secure better accommodations. In the fall of 1892 the Academy moved into its present home, the first building having been completed at that time. In 1907 the new building was completed, increasing the capacity of the school to six hundred students. When the old Weber Stake was divided into three new stakes in 1908, the Academy changed its name to Weber Academy. In January, 1916, the General Church Board of Education decided to create a Normal school of the Weber Academy. Two years work was added to the curriculum, the fifth and sixth years Normal. The rank of the school was thus raised to that of a Junior College. College work was begun in September, 1916, with Prof. H. A. Dixon as head of the Normal School.
