| Description |
The Weber State College Oral History Program was created in the early 1970s to "record and document, through personal reminiscences, the history, growth and development of Weber State College." Through interviews with administrators, faculty and students, the program's goal was to expand the documentary holdings on Weber State College and its predecessor entities. From 1970 to 1976, the program conducted some fifteen interviews, under the direction of, and generally conducted by Harold C. Bateman, an emeritus professor of history. In 1979, under the direction of archivist John Sillito, the program was reestablished and six interviews were conducted between 1979 and 1983. Additional interviews were conducted by members of the Weber State community. |

| Biographical/Historical Note |
The following is an audio clip from an oral history interview with Orson Whitney Young. "RS: What size was the faculty when you first joined? OY: About twenty-five as I recall. We had a Watermelon Bust just prior to going into classes that September of 1933 and we had it up on hill side over here at the top of about 27th or 26th Street or maybe 25th Street or something like that in the oak brush there. I remember Buss Croft and Thatcher Allred and various others. They it made a very interesting and very lively bunch of rather young people. There weren't very many elderly in the bunch. I don't think that John Benson or C.H. Anderson were much over fifty. But they were the older parts and President Tracy himself was not actually an old man at all." |
