JOHN G. LIND Our Viking, Dr. Lind, faces a great sea of adoles- cence that floods through the portals of Weber; and with a patience born of an understanding heart, and a wisdom born of an intensively trained mind, stands invincible guardian to Weber standards of scholarship. ii-s? |AUSINGbcforethecolIegeon the threshold of a new school year, one looks with admira- tion upon the institution, his day- time home for future months. From a shady nook in Lester Park, the quiet dignity of his Alma Mater is intensified by the slender white col- umns reflecting the eastern sun, and the three arched doorways enve- loped in deep shadows. Geology and Chemistry AMMERS ringing against hard mineral dikes announce the presence of earnest workers prying into the mystery of rock formations; of intent minds puzzling out difficult earth-lore pre- sented in the classroom and labora- tory of Dr. Lind. Under his admin- istration geology loses the aspect of book lore to become real nature lore. But not more so than chemistry. Chemistry, the science of chemical change, with its fascinating story of the atom and its relation to count- less miracles wrought by nature, is studied intensively in the laboratory. Amid bottles of acids and minerals, and surrounded by a mixture of gases, the amateur chemists discover through the maze, a myriad of truths that explain and clarify mysteries of matter, that gain prac- tical value as applied to industry and the home.

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.

Home Economics i HE work of this department centers around the subjects, hygiene home nursing, and cooking. Hygiene is taught with the aim of instilling into students an intimate knowledge of bodily func- tions and of teaching the methods of maintaining bodily vigor. The course in home nursing, comple- menting hygiene, details the pre- ventative and curative methods of retaining physical efficiency. It is in the culinary art that this department has made its most practical demonstration. While learning the secrets in the prepara- tion of attractive meals, the students, directed by Mrs. Tanner, operate a cafteria which is patronized widely. LYDIA H. TANNER With motherly solicitude for all her students and patrons, Mrs. Tanner has won a loving niche in the hearts of all. Efficient, artistic, and hospitable, she has nude the Weber Cafe- teria a noontime haven for uork-weary minds and hungry bodies, and her classes a home for the learning of problems in home-making. HIKE a temple of Venus, the gymnasium stands a symbol to ideals of health and beau- ty. The Olympian figures high above the tall broad windows per- sonify that aim and inspire the de- sire to attain equal beauty and symmetry of form. Set between four columns, pillars of strength, the figures are expressions of the ideal. Page 11
