JOHN KLEIN John Klein, universally recognized as the most distinguished among the many musicians who play the modern carillon, is a man of consummate musical talent and ability. The term usually applied to him by fellow musicians is "a superb artist." That artistry had developed by studies under four of the world's most famous musicians, and by his own eminent success as not only a carillonneur, but as composer, arranger, organist and author of books about music. It was Mr. Klein's profound knowledge of the technical side of music which was responsible for his affiliation with Schulmerich Carillons, Inc., of Sellersville, Pennsylvania, as Musical Director and Consultant. Klein's musical achievements are almost without parallel. As a carillonneur, he is a recording artist for RCA-Vic-tor, Columbia and Americana Records, with over 40 recordings to his credit. A highly innovative musician, he was the first to combine the carillon with orchestra and chorus. As a composer-arranger he has received on five different occasions, special awards from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, of which he is a member, for his compositions in their catalog which are of "unique prestige value." To his credit, he has over 450 published compositions. John Klein, carillonneur, composer, arranger, author, organist, musical scientist and philosopher ...may those who hear his bell recitials truly appreciate his genius.

MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS AND KEEP YOU Wilson DONNELL AND ELIZABETH STEWART The gift of the Carillon Bells and Tower by Mr. and Mrs. Donnell B. Stewart is best summed up as a "Gift of Love" from the donors to the college and community it serves. Memorializing all former students, faculty, administration and governing boards, the carillon and tower represents a unique symbol of the growth and development of the college from an infant academy beginning to its present four-year status. Mrs. Donnell (Elizabeth Shaw) Stewart is the grand daughter of Thomas D. Dee, early community leader. As a student she attended Weber as a high school and college student and graduated in 1925. She developed a great love for music while attending college and became an accomplished pianist and organist. In addition to private study, she graduated from USU and has attended the U of U, BYU, and Columbia University. After teaching both at Weber College and in Ogden City schools she married Donnell B. Stewart, a classmate and former Weber College studentbody president. Mr. Stewart returned to Weber State after his retirement from the Air Force to obtain his BS degree in business management and graduated in 1966. He has served on the Alumni Board and is a member of the Weber State College Development Fund Board. In recent years gifts from the couple have been applied to nearly every segment of the campus community including student loan funds and music scholarship programs. Funds for the purchase of instruments, special scientific equipment, motor vehicles, building programs, library grants, athletic scholarships, and marching band support have been received. A major contribution was directed toward the development of the museum in the new science lecture hall. The Mary Elizabeth Dee Shaw Scholarship Fund, memorializing Mrs. Stewart's mother, has provided assistance for over 100 music students since 1964. An athletic scholarship program has also been developed by Mr. Stewart who was an active participant in athletics during college. In addition to their support of the college, many worthy community charities and programs have been funded. The couple have been honored for their many contributions to the college and community and were named "Alumni of the Year" by the associated students of Weber State College. They are recipients of the "Distinguished Alumni Awards and a "Presidential Citation" presented by college president William P. Miller in recognition of their interest and support.
