Weber Stake Academy first opened its doors for instruction at the LDS Second Ward Meeting House on the corner of 26th Street and Grant Avenue on January 7, 1889. The academy's two teachers, Louis F. Moench and Edwin Cutler, welcomed nearly one hundred students on the first day, and, by the end of its first term, 195 students in all had registered for the school. This monograph depicts the role the LDS church and its leaders played in founding the school, the background of its first educators and administrators and the financial challenges they confronted in operating the school from 1889 through 1894. Letters of appreciation for Louis F. Moench and a bibliography of primary sources are also provided. |

Show 49 Chapter XIII Due to failing health Professor Moench resigned his position. A party was gotten up on the evening of July 1-92 as a surprise on me on which occasion resolutions of respect were presented me by the students expressive of their sentiments for me. They also presented me a goldheaded cane bearing the inscription - Presented to Prof. L. F. Moench by Members of the Weber Stake Academy July 1, 1892.1 Following are the resolutions presented to me: Prof. L. F. Moench Dear Teacher Please accept this little momento as a very small token of the high appreciation with which you are held by the students of the Weber Stake Academy. We regard you as one of the ablest educators of the age, respect you as a man of God and love you for the patience kindness and wisdom you have ever exhibited while dealing out precious principles of instructions religiously morally and intellectually and Hope the seeds you here have sown May yield a rich abundant harvest You may well be proud to own. And we sincerely pray that God whom you have so zealously served may bless you with heavens choisest blessings and with earths bounties and still direct you by the lamp of his love in the pathway of truth and prosper you in every undertaking. Your name will ever remain bright in our memories and we trust we may not be forgotten by you, but ever remain in pleasant remembrance. The students of the Weber Stake Academy.2 1.
