In 1937 the project took the form of an annual twenty-five dollar tuition-scholarship. The recipient is recommended to a committee of Chi Omega women by the Scholarship Committee of Weber College and is chosen upon standards of high scholarship, participation in student activities, and personal qualifications that conform to Chi Omega standards of Hellenic culture and Christian ideals. The scholarship is given to an alternate in case the recipient fails to return to Weber College for her sophomore year. Junior Child Culture Club: In 1936 the Junior Child Culture Club of Ogden City adopted as an annual project the purchasing of texts which were issued to worthy, needy students on a loan basis. In 1940 these texts were donated to the Weber College library and a new project was inaugurated: the awarding annually of two full-tuition scholar ships of seventy-seven dollars each. These scholarships are given to first-year Weber College students. A committee of women appointed by the Child Culture Club acts with the Scholarship Committee of Weber College to determine the recipients who are selected primarily upon a basis of scholarship, that is, a high grade point average together with a consideration of personal qualifications. Alternates are chosen in case students receiving these awards do not return to Weber College. American Association of University Women: In 1936 the American Association of University Women of Ogden City established an annual twenty-five dollar tuition-scholarship at Weber College for a first-year college woman who should win first place in an essay contest upon a subject in the field of international relations, the subject to be designated each year by the organization. In 1940 a change of policy was adopted: an annual one-year scholarship was offered, and the following criteria was used in the selection of the recipient: The student had to: (1) possess high scholarship, (2) be worthy, and (3) be a first-year college woman. An additional ten-dollar cash award was offered to the Weber College woman who should win a debate on a subject related to Reciprocal Trade question. The sponsorship for the contest was placed in the hands of the Weber Chapter of Phi Rho Pi, and the outstanding debater was chosen by the judges of the final debate who were selected by the Department of English, subject to approval by the Committee on International Relations of A.A.U.W. Weber College Faculty Women: Since the year 1938 the Weber College Faculty Women's Organization has maintained a small loan fund to assist a limited number of worthy students to secure financial aid in order to finish their school term. The loans are paid back to this organization by September of the school year after the loan is made. Application for this service may be made to the Weber College Treasurer. The Faculty Women also honor the graduates of each year, at a tea, held during Commencement week. Lyceum The Weber College Lyceum Course was organized for the purpose of presenting choice programs to the students of Weber College and citizens of Ogden City, and of maintaining a center of art and culture in the community. In 1939-1940 the college arranged to cooperate with the Ogden Community Concert Association by presenting a combined series of outstanding attractions for the enjoyment of students and community concert members. Twelve to fifteen diversified attractions of national and international reputation appear each year.
