16 WEBER COLLEGE LOCATION The Weber College is situated at Ogden, Utah's natural railroad center, which has a population of nearly forty thousand. The lofty Wasatch mountains and the famous Ogden Canyon, just east of the city, afford excellent opportunities for the study of natural science. Near the city limits are two of the largest and most complete power plants in the country, where students of physical science have the opportunity of studying the generation and transmission of electricity. There are also, just west of the city, two of the largest grain elevators and flour mills, the Globe Mills and the Sperry Mills, in the country. Ogden is the center of a great agricultural district, and within a short drive the Amalgamated Sugar Company has one of its large factories, in which are employed the most recent processes of extracting and purifying beet sugar. Many industries, such as the cereal, can, macaroni, candy, tomato, and pickle factories, as well as a packing house and two cement factories, afford the various departments of the school opportunity for profitable visits during the year. A public library, which is a repository for the government documents, and which contains many thousand bound volumes and the leading magazines of the country, is open to all students. Opportunities are always plentiful to hear speakers, orators, and singers of national as well as international reputation. The four electric interurban lines and the five steam railway lines bring Ogden into close contact with the surrounding country.
