Show These departments serve the cause of orientation in a direct way. They aid the student in choosing his life's work and in realizing and assuming his place in life. One hears a great deal, especially at the time of graduation, that after school is completed the student must "go out into the world and face life in its reality." But Weber teaches the student to face life now. The idea is to let him take place with his own group as a definite part of the vocational world as early as possible. Then when his training is completed he may go directly to work without blundering his way through the problem of adjustment, without waste of time and energy. But this is not the only way Weber is fulfilling the principle of adjustment. It is necessary that citizens should know and understand the problems of the nation and the world. They should be able to discuss those problems and to cooperate in taking active measures toward solving them. For cooperation there must be contact established among the people of the world. In this line of endeavor, Weber College has been outstanding. She has sent her students across the ocean to make friends with another race and has brought members of that race to her own state. She has sent students into thirty-seven states of the union for the express purpose of establishing contact and discussing the outstanding problems of the nation. Weber aims to bring about the actual application of the subjects learned through class work and real life, social, political, and industrial. The daily assembly and the various social and group interests: the play-day in Ogden canyon, tennis, gym circus, band, chorus, prom, are activities which help the students adjust to each other and to society in general. Thus Weber has solved the problems of orientation by helping the student to find himself in life, by helping him to become a leader and thinker in world affairs ,a real citizen of his country.
