There has always been a tradition at Weber that the school was transferred from the Ogden Tabernacle to the Fifth Ward Institute. There is a roll book on file at Weber which shows what was called the first term of school held in the Fifth Ward Institute, March to May, 1891. The roll book does not designate the school as the Weber Stake Academy, nor, in fact, as any particular school. It was filed by Professor Moench along with roll books of the Academy.
