4 | Ik &¥f Weber College Is Your College BECAUSE It is an accredited, recognized, growing institution, rooted in the pioneer character that made your State; and in the philosophy that envisions education for all the people over all America. Your personal and social needs, and those of your community determine the character of the College, its aims, offerings, organization, and standards. Your desire to live a better life and make a better living shapes the 1949-50 programs offered you for two years of pre-professional, vocational, or cultural training, whether you are a recent high school graduate, or a more mature adult whose concern is continuous development. The College invites you, a prospective student, and all whom the institution serves, to read this catalogue and visit the school, where your further needs may be considered and your future programs planned, more to your interest in Weber College—your college—Ogden community's college. The Future Weber College Is Yours BECAUSE Through the united efforts of the good people of the entire Ogden, Box Elder, Morgan, Davis and Weber County area and support from all of Utah, the 1949 Legislature passed a bill establishing at Weber College a four year program in Education, Arts and Sciences and Business. In spite of the fact that the bill failed to become a law, the state now generally recognizes the need for upper division work and will undoubtedly satisfy this need. The Ogden Rotary Club has volunteered to construct gateways at the entrance of the new campus at a cost of approximately $25,000. The Ogden Kiawanis Club has under-written a landscaping project for the campus. Your State Legislature of 1947-48 appropriated $50,000 for the future Weber College campus and set aside an additional sum of $250,000 for the planning and beginning of the building program. Architects are now at work on a new building. Eighty community leaders served with the College administration as an advisory planning committee in the interest of the future Weber. The Ogden Chamber of Commerce headed a community-wide drive for funds to match the sum appripriated by the State, and underwrote the $50,000 to be collected during the summer of 1947. The Weber College Development Fund Committee, composed of representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, labor, veterans, school administrators, and other members of the community acted at this time, and continue to serve as trustees of the Weber College Development Fund. When more than the needed funds had been collected to purchase the site for the new campus, the Committee approved funds to emplov architects who are drawing up long-range plans for buildings and grounds, Henry Aldous Dixon President of Weber College.
