Show Wendell L. Esplin Dir. Eve. and Summer School Hugh R. Jacobs Coord. Eve. School EVENING SCHOOL Nighttime, too, finds Weber a nucleus of busy, full time and part time students who attend classes offered the Evening School. Mothers', fathers', grandmothers', grandfathers', laborers', businessmen, teachers, auto mechanics begin to realize the lack in their education. These, along with many day students, are the people found at the college every evening. The Evening School, headed by Dr. Wendell L. Esplin, offers a fully matriculated course as well as some not available during the day. For instance, last year, Chinese was available for study. This year Russian is offered. As it is becoming more broad and flexible Night School is adjusting to the four-year program along with the other parts of the school. In 1930, when the Evening School was first organized, it offered only a limited number of courses, but over the years it has grown and developed under the able leadership of John Benson, Lorenzo Peterson, and presently Dr. Esplin, until today WSC's is among the finest in the state. James R. Tolman Head Librarian LIBRARY Wilma Grose Catalogue Librarian Sara B. Johnston Reserve Librarian In the year, 1923, when the Weber High School was discontinued and Weber College evolved, the library, located on the second floor of the Moench Building, contained less than two thousand volumes, consisting mostly of text books and religious books which had been donated. By 1954, the number of volumes had reached 40, 000, and the plans for the library which is presently located on the second floor of the Physical Science Building on the new campus were being developed. Mr. James R. Tolman, former administrative assistant at B.Y.U. Library, became head librarian in July 1960. His training and experience were immediately called upon to formulate plans for a library building, which it is hoped will be under construction within a year. Thus, the library will be expanded in 1963 and 1964 to meet fully the needs of the newly created Weber State College.
