David O. McKay, former principal, is now prophet-leader of 2,000,000 Mormons - President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. ANOTHER GENERATION, As I search for the source of my affection for the good old school, I find it not in its architecture, not in its brick walls, its beams and rafters, not even in the classrooms that connote so many fond memories, nor in the scholastic courses of study and the efficient instruction of the professors who compose the excellent faculty, but in the personal integrity and worth of the hundreds and thousands of students who in their lives in this old work-a-day world exemplify the ideals for which Weber Stake Academy - now Weber State College - has ever stood. These ideals are the eternal verities - individual freedom to choose one's life as long as one does not deprive another of that same right; integrity, fair dealing, unbroken pledges whether spoken or written, faith in God and belief that there is still good in our fellow men. For the preservation of these and other fundamental virtues, democracies of the world are at this very hour fighting on the high seas and on battlefields. To reconsecrate itself to the application of these indispensable elements in true civilization is today the world's most pressing need. These, and every other fundamental truth and noble virtue dear old Weber has ever held aloft as worth ideals. God bless the students who cherish them, and who, after graduation, exemplify them in their lives, thus reflecting added luster and honor to their beloved alma mater - Weber State College - cherished by our county, admired by our state, and honored by all who have come under her influence. David O. McKay Erected in 1892, the Moench Building served as Weber's home until 1954 when instruction began on the new campus.
