Registration can be accomplished at convenient times before the opening day of school. Belated students were to be registered during the evening of the first week of school. Enrollments at Weber were rather static during the first years of state control with 683 students enrolled during the 1933-1934 school year, 691 during 1934-1935, 659 during 1935-1936, 613 during 1936-1937, 705 during 1937-1938, and 875 during 1938-1939. Requirements for entrance to Weber College at this time included an official transcript of credit from an approved high school which indicated that the candidate had completed satisfactorily at least 15 units of high school work. The completed high school work was to include three units of English, one of algebra, one of geometry, one of history, one of science, and eight electives. A student who was nineteen years of age or older who had not completed the full high school course could be admitted by the president as a non-matriculated student. Because of the difficult financial times, some students worked in and around the college to pay for their tuition. The State Board allowed the college president to make tuition decisions concerning payments and work. The Fall Quarter for 1933 began on September 13 and ended on December 7 with a break for Thanksgiving. Instruction for the Winter Quarter began on December 11 and ended on March 9 with a Christmas break (December 16 January 1), and Spring Quarter began on March 13 with a baccalaureate service held on May 27 and commencement exercises on June 1,1934. A summer school session continued to be held at the college with the restriction that it would be held at no cost to the state. The 1934 summer session enrolled 54 students. During the 1933-1934 school year, the Moench Building was rented to the Ogden Stake for monthly meetings at a cost of 200 for the year. The gymnasium was rented to the Ogden Chamber of Commerce for 300 for two hours daily for basketball practice during the year and games to be played during basketball season. Weber Gymnasium fees for non-students were 20 a year for business men and 17.50 a year for business women. Graduation requirements from Weber College included the completion of at least ninety-six quarter hours of work, and all candidates for graduation were required to be present at the baccalaureate and commencement exercises, unless excused by the president. Courses of instruction were divided into four divisions in the College: humanities, social sciences, biological sciences, and physical sciences. Humanities included the departments of art, English, foreign languages, music, and philosophy. Social Sciences included the department of economics and business administration; the department of education; the department of history and political science; and the department of sociology, anthropology, and archaeology. The division of biological sciences included the department of botany, forestry and agriculture; the department of health and physical education; the department of home economics; the department of hygiene and bacteriology; the department of zoology, physiology, anatomy, and psychology. The division of physical sciences included the department of chemistry; the department of geology, geography, and mineralogy; the department of physics; and the department of mathematics and engineering. Art courses, although listed, were not taught because no faculty members were hired. Many of the areas had only one or two courses listed in the catalog. Automobile construction and operation were courses listed under the area of engineering, and courses in radio were listed under physics. With the 1933-1934 school year, there was a substantial change in faculty. A majority of new faculty members joined with a number of faculty who had already taught at Weber. The faculty included Thatcher Allred (dramatic arts), Leland Monson (English), Marion Read (English), David Trevithick (English), C. M. Nilsson (English), Nancy Barker (foreign languages), Eva Browning |

Show (Geology), Merlon Stevenson (Mathematics), and Charles Osmond (Physics) receiving the highest annual faculty salaries of 1,600 each and president Aaron Tracys salary was set at 2,600. Professor Lind who had served the college for a long period of time, and who, because of his Norwegian background, had been given the name of the Viking by students found his health to be deteriorating; he was replaced during the 1933-1934 school year by Walter Buss who was paid at a temporary substitutes salary of 100 a month for the academic year. Lind continued to teach part-time until 1938. The College employed Blaine Peterson as a full time treasurer during this year and he was bonded at 10,000. A full time registrar, Clarisse Hall, was also employed. Faculty salaries were paid on a schedule which included one-twelfth of the salary paid at the beginning of school in September, one-twelfth paid at the beginning of each month thereafter until and including the first of June payment, and the remaining two-twelfths to be paid before the first day of July. Typical fees for this period included a quarterly tuition fee of 22, a registration fee of 10 to be paid once a year, and an annual student body fee of 10. A discount of 5 was to be allowed for all students who paid their annual fees in advance. Junior college presidents were authorized by the State Board to arrange athletic schedules, but were urged that the spirit of economy prevail. The State Board approved the proposed Weber catalogue with the understanding that the department of Cosmetology be omitted. The State Board of Education set the length of the junior college year at 35 weeks of actual instruction (to be divided into three quarters). To insure uniformity between colleges in terms and in procedures, the State Board also adopted a series of regulations for junior colleges. These regulations included 1. The graduation certificate would be called the junior college certificate. 2. The following nomenclature was to be used in regard to faculty members and employees: President; registrar; head of department, if you choose, or senior instructor; instructor; assistant instructor; and custodian. 3. The names and numbers of junior college courses should correspond as nearly as possible with the numbers and names in the University catalog for similar subjects. 4. A, B, C, D, E without plus or minus were the grades to be used in marking. The president was charged to study the grades in the other junior colleges. A list of grades by each teacher was to be sent to the Utah State Department of Education. 5. Attempts should be made to have textbooks uniform at the junior colleges and at the University. Texts should be listed in the catalog, if possible. 6. |
