AARON WARD TRACY The ACORN 1927 President and Faculty WITH the closing of a number of Weber's sister Junior Colleges through the action of the church education- al board, President Aaron Ward Tracy, the vision endowed admiral-in-chief of the Weber College ship, has contended this year for the school, realizing that on his attitude to- ward existing conditions rested the support of the church and the admiration of the people. In spite of the extreme strain that the president and his faculty have fought under, they have observed his afore-mocked-at visions and become dynamic forces in Weber-forces which have molded the individuality of the college so nicely, that in this, her fourth year, she shows a progress unequaled by that of any other Utah college. Sailing as super-cargo, the faculty members have never refused to spend their time on deck in bad weather nor to pull on the oars when the boat has leaned and leaped and hesitated cunningly on the top of the broken foam. They have at the president's suggestion equipped their crew and fellow passengers With the knowledge that stands for them in the stead of life-boats; they have cast off the medieval anchors of precedent and conformity and have wrought from the ore of self-reliance the modern anchor of common sense. To their service the small, exceptionally manned liner that is now Weber will stand an endowed tribute.
