Show The community of Ogden, Utah, sprawls lazily out toward the Great Salt Lake and is lost in the haze of late October. Weber College is beautifully situated at the base of the Wasatch Mountains and overlooks the lovely city of Ogden, Utah, in the valley of the Great Salt Lake. Ogden is the second largest city in the state and the largest railroad center in the intermountain area, and is fast becoming recognized in industry and commerce as well. Today Weber penetrates community life as only a college can when it has the community's interest at heart. Weber provides the community with a center of academic achievement which is available to all in the form of daytime and evening classroom instruction. Weber's entertainment is not restricted to her students alone. The community is invited to join in many of the college sponsored activities. Our football and basketball games are a source of interest to citizens who may be affiliated in no other way with the college. Ogden residents find value in the artist and lecture series sponsored by the college every season. Various areas of our Below left: Governor George D. Clyde represents statewide interest in the growing Weber campus as he tours the Union Building with President Miller following its September 25th dedication. Below right: Guided tours of the Union Building were conducted for returning alumni as a part of the Homecoming Week activities. Union Building are available to community organizations and special groups for banquets, lectures and symposiums. One can never overlook the fact that every year Weber is graduating students who are better equipped to determine the future of the community, better qualified to accept the challenges the community provides and better prepared to increase the cultural environment in which they will eventually participate. On the other hand, one must never underestimate the value of the community to Weber College, for without the community there would be no Weber. The community and the college must continue to work together and serve each other for the benefit of the interests of both, for only by so doing can they come to a realization of their highest potentials. |
