Show ALUMNI OFFICERS JOHN Q. BLAYLOCK IRMA GALBRAITH HARVEY L. TAYLOR President Secretary Vice-President The Alumni Association DURING the past few years, the Alumni Association has made remarkable advancement toward the realization of its dream; a dream of perpetuating Weber's ideals, and of helping Weber materially to become one of the leading educational institutions of the West. Through this association our Alma Mater has retained the old Weber spirit and has instilled, into the heart of every Weber student, the in- spiring aim of growth and progress. Each year a fraternal banquet is fostered by their organization, unique in that it brings "home" annually, increasing numbers of alumni. Last June, from five to eight hundred members participated in the first gathering at the Weber Gymnasium. This structure had been transformed from a dream into a reality largely through their efforts. For five years the association has presented to large and appreciative audiences, Shakesperian and modern drama of high merit, and has used the proceeds to enlarge Weber's present campus. The acquisition of the Rich property has been the achievement of the present year. With such a progressive body steadfastly preserving the vision and working to make the dream come true, Weber will soon stand forth more prominently as the intellectual and cultural center of the community. To The Alumni THOU bulwark of Weber's foundations, Thou builder of men and of nations, Thou dreamer of finer creations, We bring to thee homage. Thou planter of highest ideal, Thou molder of character steel, To thee and thy standards we kneel And bring to thee homage. Thou shaper of small common clay, Thou sun in our youth's fleeting day, Give ear to our tribute, we pray, And list to our homage. Thou star in the last shades of night, Thou shield against life's weary fight, Thou living defender of right, We bring to thee homage. |
