Show JOSEPH D. THOMAS EVA BROWNING JOHN Q. BLAYLOCK FOREIGN LANGUAGE-Language is that medium of words by which thought is transmitted from one individual to another, the word being but a symbol which affords color and design. Weber's department of Language has, as an aim, the interpretation of the hidden beauty in the word-symbolism of French and German vernacular. Experience in Europe last Spring and Summer has enabled Mr. Joseph D. Thomas to offer his students an additionally correct interpretation of foreign languages and customs. THE LIBRARY-That Weber realizes the importance of making the environment of the student attractive is demonstrated in the Weber Library. Warm, neutral tones are enlivened by color in growing plants, in choice selections from Utah art, and in the volumes of reds, greens, browns, and blues, which promise the student reader vicarious association with great men. There scholars enjoy the classics of literature; there Miss Eva Browning works for the best educational interests of Weber men and women. SOCIOLOGY AND HISTORY-It was Professor Cheney, eminent American historian, who asked, "In our present imperfect state of historical knowledge do certain tendencies in man's nature emerge which may enable him to understand his habits better and to attain to a more intelligent method of improving his ideas and practices?" In loyalty to Weber's own ideal, in harmony with the thought of the best historians, Professor John Q. Blaylock has taught history and sociology to his students in a way that has inspired progressive response. DILWORTH WALKER LUCY DENNING WAYNE E. MAYHEW BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS-An understanding of the sciences of Business and Economics becomes more necessary with the increasing complexity of an industrial age, the activities of which, though they belong to the arts of the necessary, are really the foundation of the arts of the beautiful. Dr. Dilworth Walker in his quiet, sincere desire to enhance the quality of business leadership in Ogden's community has ably conveyed the spirit as well as the form of the science which he teaches. TYPEWRITING AND SHORTHAND-A knowledge of typewriting and shorthand is becoming so important in almost every phase of activity that this division of college business administration has increasingly demanded efficient and practical instruction. In Weber College, Miss Lucy Denning has built a strength in her department that has resulted in exceptional proficiency among her students, who are thus equipped to meet the demands of a growing commercial community for capable men and women trained in this field. ACCOUNTING AND BOOKKEEPING-Training in accounting and bookkeeping renders practical value to the student by enabling him to understand one of the very technical and indispensable elements of business operation. The acquisition of accurate knowledge in this field is made possible at Weber through the teaching of Mr. Wayne Mayhew, who, besides being an instructor at the college, is a practising certified public accountant, who can provide his students with correspondingly valuable facts. |
