A. LEON WINSOR Department of Education and Psychology IN January 1916, the General Church Board of Education decided to create a Normal School of the Weber Academy. Two years normal work was added to the Academy curriculum of four years. Professor H. A. Dixon was the first leader of the Educational Department; the training was done in Weber County schools. In the spring of 1917 eight girls were graduated from the first-year class. In the fall of 1918 Dr. N. H. Savage succeeded Professor Dixon as head of the department. The following spring two students were graduated from the two-year course and four students were graduated from the one-year course. When the 1919 semester began, Professor Dixon became president of the school and again assumed the responsibility as head of the Department of Education. The membership this year increased to twelve. In September 1920, Professor John M. Mills was made administrator of the department. During that year some practice teaching was done in the Ogden City schools. In the fall of 1921 Professor A. L. Winsor succeeded Professor Mills as head of the Department of Education. He was assisted by Mrs. Jennie Lloyd. This year there were eleven graduates from the one-year normal course. In 1922 Miss Ruby Osmond assisted Professor Winsor and during this year the membership of the department in- creased to fifty-two. The next year Miss Nellie Hendricks became assistant, and at the end of the school-year nineteen two-year students and thirty-five one-year students were graduated from this department. When the 1924 semester began, Miss Francis Barber assumed the position as assistant to Professor Winsor. In the spring of 1925, there were thirty-four graduates of the two-year course and twenty-one graduates of the one-year course. At the present time there are one hundred sixteen in the department. Weber is growing! AARON WARD TRACY Department of English Language and Literature YEARS ago, when Weber College was Weber Academy, offering a full academic curriculum, Aaron W. Tracy had an English department unrivaled in the Intermountain Country. Successive appointments to leadership testified to this fact only second to the graduate students who have passed from his supervision to perpetuate his ideals. During the transition period from high school to college the English department weakened in efficiency not only because college courses necessitated new professional personnel and organization; but because Professor Tracy had become President Tracy, and administrative duties, in the first critical year of a college experiment in Ogden, meant too great a division of responsibility to assure department solidarity. In the year 1924-25 an entire new English faculty, Mr. Kenneth Farley, Miss Grace Wood and Miss Marian Read, made considerable advancement toward building up the department standards. This year two new members, Mr. Chester Myers and Mr. Joseph Jarvis, with Miss Read of last year, have, under the direction of President Tracy as acting head of the department again, succeeded in bringing the English work of Weber College up to the reputation of former days. New courses have been added, all fully accredited. The policy of the department is a conservative one, to give to smaller classes superior work in composition and literature, adding to the curriculum and the teaching force as students and their needs increase.
