Q.. DINING HALL AND KITCHEN HE College Dining Hall with its long rows of white tables, and its efficient student waiters and waitresses, supervised,by Mrs. Ball, is always a pleasing sight at any season of the year, but it is especially attractive during the Christmas season. lt is traditional for the students at each table to provide a diminutive tree, appropriately trimmed, for their tables, during the week preceding the holi- days. Any description of the Dining Hall would, of course, be incomplete with- out mentioning the kitchen, where Mr. Ball and his assistants are installed. It has modern equipment throughout, and is noted for its abundance of sunlight, cleanliness and convenience. V , . , Mr. hall, Chef ..f27I..

VJEBER HALL URING the period when funds were being raised to move the college to Stock- ton, it was suggested that one of the new buildings be erected as a memorial to some prominent Stocktonian. This suggestion was adopted with the result that the science building was erected as a memorial to Captain Charles Weber, who played a prominent part in the early history of Stockton. the necessary funds being subscribed by Stockton citizens. Captain Weber, a retired sea captain, obtained a grant of 48,747 acres of rich land from Mexico in 1844 and started a settlement which he called Tuleburg, but which he later named Stockton in honor of his friend, Commodore Stock- ton. Weber Memorial Hall houses the science and art departments of the college and the library. On the first floor, one finds the chemistry, physics. geology and mineralogy laboratories, and the oflices of the heads of these departments. On the second floor, are the laboratories for biology, botany, bacteriology and physiology. the art studios including those for ceramics, still life, drawing and painting, the exhibition room, the department office and the college library. -1231-
