FOUNDER’S DAY Lyceums were organized during the years of 1936-37 to bring to Weber College the outstand- ing artists of the world. This has been done to give the students of Weber College first-hand contacts with great artists whom they would not otherwise have met. Many of these artists have performed in Europe with great success, and therefore it is a rare opportunity for the students of Weber to see these artists perform. Also for the past year Weber College has been cooperating with the Ogden Community Con- cert Association in order to get only the most talented and preferred artists. One of the most outstanding and interesting performers of the season was Viljhalmur Stefansson. northern explorer and scientist, who appeared February 18, 1938. Other artists that have been pre- sented are Jan Cerniavinsky. noted international Russian pianist, who appeared at Weber November 2, 1937, and Dr. Ethan Colton, international authority on European affairs, who appeared January I I. 1938. Another outstanding performance was given by the Braser-James Ballet, classical and modern dance group October 26. 1937.

Composed of four sophomores and two freshmen, the Dance Committee worked to provide good entertainment for the student body. For proof of the popularity of the dances, one must look at the attendance receipts, which grew with each successive dance. Among the dances conducted by the committee were: the Get-Acquainted Dance. Turkey- Truck, Hay-Seed Hop. and several sport dances. Clubs and organizations relieved some of the burden of the committee and sponsored attractive formal affairs. The Publications Committee upholds and improves the standards of student publications. Under the supervision of the committee there appeared on the campus the first issues of a news- paper, THE SIGNPOST. Also there has been published during the past year the annual. ACORN. These publications have found favor.
