HARVEY L. TAYLOR Department of Political Economy and Sociology UNHAMPERED by thought-ways of the past, the department of Political Economy and Sociology, started this year on a career filled with happy prospects and brilliant predictions for the future. Three hundred three students have taken work in one of the eighteen courses offered. Of this number, two hundred twenty were men and eighty were women. Since Ogden is an industrial and commercial center, and since present tendencies predict that it will continue to grow and become more noted as such, Weber made a desirable move when it added to its curriculum, courses which will help prepare men and women to properly adjust to such an environment, and at the same time to raise the standard of that environment to a height of culture and refinement. Industrial and social Ogden will become the laboratory for this department. No attempt will be made to confine its work to class rooms on the hill; but from factories, shops, and homes will come real animated "course stuff." With a field so rich and vibrant for research and so dynamically endless in variety, the hope of the future becomes brilliantly illuminated and lights the torch of success. MERLON L. STEVENSON Department of Mathematics and Engineering THE department of Mathematics and Physics in keeping with the growth and development of the School has shown a gratifying increase during the years Weber has been a college. In the last year alone, this department increased ninety-five per cent. This is in part due to the popularity of the pre-engineering courses given. The supervision of the engineering courses has been given to the department of Mathematics and Physics. These courses are attracting the attention of Weber students as is evidenced by the fact that the enrollment shows a fifty per cent increase in the number of engineering students over last year. Since Ogden is essentially interested in these technical courses it is only reasonable to expect a continued high percentage of increase. The department is to meet the needs of the people with quality rather than quantity courses at all times.
