The ACORN 1927 Department of Physics PHYSICS is a study of the laws which are operating throughout the universe and are governing all its physical phenomena. A student of this science must become familiar with and be able to explain such phenomena. So intrically are physical principles woven into his domestic, industrial, and scientific life that his education is hardly begun without some knowledge of them. In fact, they should be the very foundation upon which the structure of a student's education is built. Under the able direction of Dr. Wayne B. Hales this department of Weber is rapidly coming to the fore. The type of laboratory work performed therein is equal to that of many of our universities. Department of Political Science FOR THE first time since Weber has become a college the department of Political Science has been placed under separate management. During 1926-27 Dilworth Walker, graduate from Cornell University, has supervised this unit in which supervision he has been assisted by Professor Mayhew, instructor in Accounting; Denning and Thurgood, instructors in shorthand and typing, and Taylor, of Salesmanship. The department of Political Science boasted the second largest enrollment of students in the winter quarter, which testifies to the fact that Ogden is a business and industrial center. As Mr. Walker recently stated, the aim of the department is to prepare the students to participate in commercial enterprises. The courses are so arranged that they permit their graduates not only to enter the field of business immediately, but also to meet the demands of higher institutions of learning. The ACORN 1927 The Department of Biological Science THE DEPARTMENT of Biological Science has enjoyed normal growth since its origin. With the recent acquirement of new quarters and much added equipment the quality of work offered is of high order. Courses are planned to promote for greatest individuality and resourcefulness consistent with sound pedagogy. At the present time the College catalogue lists no courses in Biological Science not supplemented by liberal laboratory requirements. Since classes usually have less than twenty-five students enrolled and the supply of specimens and equipment is adequate, all students make their own dissections and perform other required exercises on a strickly individual basis. The department aims to assist the students in removing the shackels of routine and placing them on an independent plane. With such emphasis placed on the solution of commonplace problems students should be able to cope with matters of a serious nature with more than average judgment. For those whose collegiate education is about over, the department aims to point the way to more serviceable and complete living. To those! who are laying a foundation for the professions the work is planned to enable them to meet the requirements of the most exacting institutions. Department of Home Economics THE HOME is the foundation, in fact, the origin of society. The ideals and standards maintained in the American home today will eventually determine the future of our country. The department of Home Economics seeks to amplify those standards and ideals by intensive training in the science of home management. The courses offered stress the practical development of household efficiency. Besides these general management and food courses, first aid and home nursing classes are conducted, which are accompanied by lectures and demonstrations. In the interests of physical competence and student economy, a cafeteria is maintained by this department. That its services are highly appreciated is evidenced by continual testaments to its quality and convenience. Students under the direction of Mrs. Tanner likewise aid in pre- pairing food for various banquets and Parties sponsored by the college. A tribute is indeed due Mrs. Tanner and her classes in these endeavors and in the sincerity of their desires to elevate the American home to a higher plane.
