Centennial Court Dedicated Weber State officials dedicated an outdoor monument in November that memorializes those who played a significant part in the college’s first 100 years. The outdoor Centennial Court is a plaza with a number of plaques that pay tribute to Weber State’s founding fathers, to past administrators and to faculty, staff and donors. “This centennial court will be here a long time as a symbol of the love and dedication of all those who have worked so hard to make this institution what it is,” Weber State President Stephen D. Nadauld said. Officials sealed a 50-year time capsule in the structure of the court during ceremonies. The time capsule contained memorabilia from the college’s recently celebrated centennial year, a letter of congratulations from Pres. Bush, a letter to those who open the time capsule in 2039 and other artifacts. The Centennial Court is located west of the Lindquist Plaza and fountain and overlooks a college that has grown from an LDS church-owned high school to one of the nation’s largest undergraduate institutions. “We call upon a kind providence to protect and watch over this piece of ground. We ask that providence to hallow this site that memorializes the work that created all we see before us,” Pres. Nadauld said. Wildcat Athletic Association . . .
