department. After some investigation the Board agreed to have Manning head the department. The tuition and fees for the 1920-1921 school year were set at 17 which included the student body activity fee of 3. During February of 1922, the student body officers presented a case to the Trustees for raising student fees to 5 a year. After some study, the Trustees decided to accept the student proposal and make the change. In February of 1921, President Ricks suggested to the Board of Trustees that courses such as bacteriology, physiological chemistry, nursing and others could be offered by the College in cooperation with the Dee Hospital and nurses could be trained in a joint effort. During the fall of 1920, the school chose two debate teams one to represent the high school and one to represent the college. Faculty duties in 1920 included watching the halls during the Devotional period with a view of cooperation with the student body to stop stealing. During this same school year discussions began to be held by the faculty concerning professional ranking. On December 8, 1920, Brother C. Elmer Barrett spoke on the topic of ranking the college faculty. Although discussed at other times during this year and later, the practice of ranking faculty at Weber did not come to fruition until policies studied during the 1959-1960 school year were adopted during the 1960-1961 school year. Faculty members continued to discuss both the academic and the spiritual progress of students under their direction, and Professor John G. Lind noted that our students are viewing life almost entirely from the materialistic stand point. As a result of this discussion, Lind was asked to prepare a talk concerning his observations which could be given in the theology classes. President Ricks encouraged teamwork among the teachers as an ongoing effort at the College, and the theme for the faculty for the 1921-1922 year was to vitalize our Theology. On an annual basis, the Weber faculty played a basketball game with the students, and usually ended up losing. In the March 1921 game, William Z. Terry star center for the faculty had one of his ribs broken in a mix-up during the game between the faculty hoop stars and the College five. The Weber Herald reported that in the next game Terry would wear a keep off sign for safety first. Although Terry broke a rib, the faculty won the ball game. Basketball teams were organized among all of the campus groups including the Glee Club, the class presidents, and the Commercial Club. In March of 1921, William F. Oswald Worlds Champion Typist visited Weber accompanied by a representative of the Underwood Company. Oswald displayed his typing prowess for the students in a devotional writing perfectly at rates from 130 to 152 words a minute. Weber students were busy in class and in many extracurricular activities. During the 1920-1921 school year, they presented the play Amazons, were involved in the opera Powder and Paint and the opera The Fire Prince, and won state honors for the play The Lost Paradise. Many students participated in a variety of activities from plays to athletics, and from debate to the Acorn and the Weber Herald. The debating topic for the year was Resolved: That the United States should legislate laws prohibiting strikes in essential industries. John Emmett, Frank Robinson, DelbertWright, and Leland Johnson were the leading debaters. The Girls Association Activity held on Friday the 13th of May, 1921 included a dance in the evening on campus and an afternoon of swimming and recreation at the Hot Springs. The Junior Prom was held a month earlier on April 8, 1921 at the Berthana with the theme Home, Sweet Home. These were two of the many dances and activities held during the year as the college moved a bit further into the decade of the Twenties. Many of the student activities were held with the view of making money which would be placed in the gymnasium fund. At the May 10, 1922 meeting of the College Board of Trustees, President Joel E. Ricks read a telegram from the Agricultural College of Utah offering him the position of professor of history. Ricks, who had received his M.A. degree in 1920, noted this was an offer which he would like to accept which would allow him to obtain the degree of Doctor of History. Ricks was released from his position as President with a hearty vote of thanks. The Board also noted with deep regret that eight days earlier, on May 2, President Lewis Warren Shurtliff had died. Shurtliff had been on the Weber Board since its inception and had served as president of the board for many years, and at the time of his death had served as stake president for 39 years. The Board reviewed the applications for the position of president of Weber including those of Leroy C. Cowles, Edwin S. Hinckley, Aaron W. Tracy, William Z. Terry, and W. W. Henderson. At the June 7, 1922 Board meeting the Trustees agreed to have Aaron Ward Tracy assume the position of president of Weber Normal College at a salary of 3,000 per year. Tracy had worked his way through grammar school, and at the age of eighteen began high school work at Weber Academy. He graduated from the Normal Course, after four years of financial struggle, and was appointed principal of the Marriott Elementary School. Tracy served as the principal in several small elementary schools and also furthered his education at Brigham Young University where he graduated in 1919 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He served as student body president at both Weber and B.Y.U. In the fall of 1919, Tracy joined the Weber College faculty as an instructor of English, and over the next several years took graduate courses at the University of Chicago. At the time of his appointment as president, Tracy was serving as president of the Weber Alumni Association. Tracy was thin, sometimes nervous, and had red hair. He seemed always to be interested in students. At the July 5, 1922 meeting of the Board of Trustees, Aaron Tracy appeared and suggested to the Board that his sympathies had been with the institution since early boyhood and his aim in life had been to see a big school here. He was willing to put forth his best efforts and energy to reach his ideal and place the College on a plane that all would be proud of. Tracy noted that the policy as outlined by Commissioner Widtsoe (Church Commissioner of Education) was that the College should develop as fast as possible to an enrollment of at least 500 students with eight professors at a salary of 3,000 a year. During the summer of 1922, the Trustees also considered the name of the college, and in June the name, Weber Junior College was agreed upon, but by August, the
