A seed, blown into fertile ground, germin- ated and sent up a small, green shoot. Con- tinually nourished by the richness of the soil, this shoot grew and eventually developed into a young tree. With its ever-supplying source of energy, with its well-rooted trunk, the sapling increased in stature. Then there came development in the branches, and the tree, spreading its boughs in every direction, became an object of rare beauty. A seed of education, planted in worthy minds, germinated, and there was established the Weber Academy. This academy, foster- ed and nurtured by determined leaders, grew and eventually blossomed into an institution of higher learning. Weber, as a junior col- lege, assumed prominence for her development of a friendly organization, reaching out in every direction, extending the hand of fellow- ship to other institutions. This spirit of friendliness — the friendliness in Weber’s growth—more dominant in Nineteen Thirty- one than ever before, forms the motif for this Acorn.

AARON WARD TRACY ■)UL-BOUND to a creed of culture, President Tracy takes a warrior’s stand against all elements which are detrimental to refined actions, gentle speech, and high-toned mentality. Yet to those who are willing to labor for the achievement of ideals which he so valiantly champions, he has an open-hearted friendli- ness and an outspoken respect. Patiently, doggedly, he strives through the prime of his life to establish Weber as the cultural, educational center of the West.
