this was the last year for high school students at Weber. The school which had begun as an Academy with special emphasis on grammar school and secondary emphasis on high school curriculum, had eliminated the grammar school (preparatory) courses more than a decade earlier, and now eliminated the high school courses. Weber became only a college by the end of the 1922-1923 school year. These changes had taken place during the first one-third century of Webers existence. Over the years, changes had taken place in the Board of Trustees and one of the more important changes took place during May of 1923. David O. McKay had left Utah in November of 1922 to serve as European Mission President with headquarters in Liverpool. Half a year later, in May of 1923 the Church Board of Education recommended that the stake presidents of Morgan, Summit, North Davis, Mt. Ogden, North Weber, Ogden, and Weber stakes serve as the Board of Trustees of Weber College. Those currently serving on the board were released. The new board consisted of the following: Daniel Heiner (Morgan); Henry H. Blood (North Davis); Thomas E. McKay (Ogden); Thomas L. Allen (Summit); George E. Browning (Weber); Robert I. Burton (Mt. Ogden); and John V. Bluth (North Weber). Thomas E. McKay was chosen president of the board and McKay along with Burton and Bluth formed an Executive Committee. Samuel Dye was retained as treasurer and Eli Holton as Secretary. To 1923, much of the membership of Webers Board had been centered in Ogden, but with this change, emphasis on a broader base for service and recruiting students was made. President Tracy suggested to the Board of Trustees and the Church Board that six high schools should be encouraged to send their graduates to Weber. These included: Box Elder, Coalville, Morgan, Davis, Ogden, and Weber high schools. With the elimination of high school courses during the spring of 1923, many of the departments of the school were able to organize a curriculum which would serve college needs. Some departments were not able to make needed changes, and some courses and departments were entirely eliminated. The mechanic arts program was discontinued, the courses in art, accounting, shorthand, and typewriting were discontinued until such time as enrollments justified their being re-instated. Although art courses had been in the curriculum since Webers beginning, no art courses were taught from 1924 to 1933 with the exception of one class taught during the fall of 1931 in the history and appreciation of painting and sculpture. As expected earlier, college students were to take one course in theology each quarter. New graduation requirements were shaped to fulfill the needs of those attending Weber College. These requirements included the completion of ninety quarter hours of credit from approved college courses including English 1 and 2, and Physical Education 1 and 2. Students were also required to select courses of study from four fields of knowledge: physical science and mathematics, biological science, languages (including English), and social science. Requirements in these areas were known as Group Requirements and students were allowed some choice in fulfilling these. For the first two years of Webers college existence (1923-1925), five quarter hours of credit wererequired from each group. Ten quarter hours in each group became the requirement in 1927-1928, and in 1931-1932, a fifteen-quarter hour requirement was instituted. A listing of courses compiled by the faculty in each group included those courses which were recognized as fulfilling Group Requirements. This was an early attempt to put into practice General Education requirements for students hoping to graduate from Weber. The Normal College and education courses had been Webers entree into college work, and teachers who had completed their work at Weber were involved in teaching throughout the local area in both elementary and high schools. Teaching certificates had been the first evidence of college work granted by Weber with a First Class Certificate valid for five years and a Second Class Certificate valid for two years. The First Class Certificate was awarded to those students completing the two year college Normal Course and the Second Class Certificate was for those completing one year of the college Normal Course. In 1923, the Associate of Arts degree was granted for the first time, and in 1928, the Associate of Science degree was first awarded. Nineteen of the twenty-four students graduating in the spring of 1924 received a First Class Teachers Certificate while thirty-five students were granted a Second Class Certificate. In the spring of 1925, thirty-four out of a graduating class of forty-two received a First Class Certificate and twenty one completed the requirements for a Second Class Certificate. About 75 of Webers graduates during this early college period anticipated spending some time as classroom teachers. As high school work was eliminated and college work expanded, student government was changed. During the fall of 1923, the students of the college organized the Associated Students of Weber College with the executive power of the student body placed in a Board of Control. The initial Board of Control included the student body president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer, president of the sophomore class, president of the freshman class, president of the college, and one faculty representative. The first student body officers to serve during this 1923-1924 initial junior college year included: Junius R. Tribe president Ruth Folkman vice-president David Kennedy secretary and treasurer Rigby Jacobs yell master Claude Helm athletic manager Frank Barton debate manager Helen Wilson editor of the Acorn Rulon Beus editor of the Herald It appears that all of the above officers were elected except the two editors who were appointed. The move to college status had eliminated some popular teachers at Weber. Early college enrollments did not justify the teaching force which had been employed for both the high school and college. During the 1923-1924 school year 10 regular teachers were employed with 3 special teachers employed on a part-time basis. President Tracy continued to teach courses in English. During the 1923-1924 school year a survey of library volumes was taken with the following results reported: volumes Brigham Young University 32,481 Brigham Young College(Logan) 9,775 L.D.S. University (Salt Lake City) 6,548 Weber 4,500
