Foreword An effort has been made to embody in the 1925 Acorn every detail that can make it dearer to the heart of its proud possessor as the fleeting years rake away youth and vi- sions, and leave only the sweet, tender, mem- ories. Together with an accurate account of every individual’s activity we have endeavored to record those traditions held sacred by loyal Weber men and women, and to make these pages breathe forth that brotherly spirit of loyalty and excellence expressed in the Pur- ple and White. Such departures as have been made from the style of past Acorns” have been made with this aim in mind. The avoidance of the stilted reports with their extravagant eulogies and the use of more purposeful art has been our constant objective. A progressive pictorial chapter from the lives of those courageous pioneers to whom we are indebted for our ideals and for our very existence has been inserted to broaden the appeal of the book and to reflect our gratitude for their sacrifices. That this volume may be a constant trea- sure chest of delightful recollections and in- spirations is the sincere wish of the staff. 5

The Purple and White W. H. Manning Proudly waving o’er Old Weber, An ensign of truth and right; The flag 1 love; it waves above— J love it with all my might. Oh royalty lies in its Purple And purity in its White. A king I’ll be if I’m true to thee And dare to do the right. Chorus Oh, I’ll be true to thee, Oh, Purple and White And I will stand by thee in any fight, For truth and right I’ll always be Close by thee, Oh, flag. Aye! Aye! All thy children honor thee, Honor, thine forever be. Thou art mine forever—Purple and White. We will e’er be true, Oh, Weber, To thy virtues high and rare. We will adore, forever more, Thy name forever bear. So here’s to thee, Alma Mater, For thy glory and thy might, I hy flag shall be the flag for me, Forever the Purple and White. 6
