Show FRANK FOWLES Second Vice-President LUCILE PARRY Secretary-Treasurer AARON W. TRACY President SAMUEL G. DYE First Vice-President THE WEBER ALUMNI FIVE years ago, a Weber College. Two years ago a dedication of her year- book to "those members of the Alumni whose strength of purpose created a Weber College, whose vision and perseverance have made possible, permanent growth." The Vision, an unique four year cultural institution in a natural center of industrial interests, a Weber College whose campus should cover the entire block of the present location, where there could be erected buildings architecturally conformable with the strong, angular ruggedness of Ogden's mountains, in harmony with their coloring; spiritually in harmony with the conceptions of a pioneer people who ever sought expression of the beautiful. A campus inspired by mountains, grey and autumn and sunset mountains. A center as varied in color expression as life is in activity, a center where some Utah sculptor may place a symbol of Beauty-Weber's idealism-from which paths lead to instruction centers were scholar's acquire an intelligent understanding of life. Buildings with entrances from the inside campus and from the outside city, inclosing the art center. Dormitories to care for men and women from Weber's larger community; buildings in which to teach the sciences upon which modern life is founded, buildings in which to teach the fine arts; library and chapel; an auditorium for the use of college and community assembly, one designed to include a museum for the preservation of that which Weber's research work will reveal of Utah's past; an art gallery where Utah artists may exhibit; a Little Theatre where lovers of the drama may find opportunity for expression; a building for the executive detail of this institution.
