BUSINESS DIVISION The Business Division develops students who can live in society with an appreciation for their working abilities. The progress of America's advancement in economic sta- bility can easily be measured by the courses offered to willing students in the Business Division here at Weber, says Dr. James R. Foulger, division chairman. Training does not stop at the proper usage of mere mach- inery; it furthers the initiative, desire and pride young men and women have for their profession. Procedure in developing a pleasant telephone voice, suit- able wearing apparel and the qualifications needed to become a good secretary or business leader are included in class dis- cussion. Opportunity to study in the arts, humanities, and sciences are available because the business student needs to learn the art of living as well as the art of working. Dr. Foulger states, Personality qualifications are also very important. Leadership is the strong characteristic of the efficient business student. Because the regular curriculum instills con- tinually new methods, basic fundamentals must be remembered. J«m«t R. Foulger D.vision Head Tatmago Y. OcUnge Daniel Favero Reed I.

Those who wish to go into jobs such as marketing and finance find that they can get the lower division part with full credit from Weber. The other is designed for the student who plans to go into general business, and is called the terminal program. Also the business major receives some on-the-job training right at the school. Capable instructors under the super- vision of Dr. Foulger steer the hundreds of hopeful pupils through the various stages of business indoctrination. Dr. Foulger feels that the student majoring in business is better qualified to meet the public and serve the public, now than in the past. Training guidance will grow with the college and its students, in the future. 8

William D. Strafford Dean of Men Wallace D. Baddley Supt. Building! end Grounds Clarii te H. Hall Registrar Guardians and shapers of the endless line have been such of- ficials as dean of faculty, registrar, deans of men and women, school treasurer, superintendent of build- ings and grounds, chairmen of divisions, heads of departments. As during this crucial past year the lifeline of Weber been shaped for the school, these persons, with President, have been for actual molding of the greater institution. These dedicated educa- ors have been impelled by a vi- ion. The growth of Weber College to four years, says Dr. Robert A. Clarke, dean of faculty, means a greater investment in the people if serves, and in turn permits more rapid development of area econ- omy and better jobs for its gradu- ates. Higher education is an vestment in people, which pays rich dividends in increased crea- tiveness and skills and better citi- zenship. To the individual come dividends in higher income and greater service. Robnrt A. Clarico Dein of Faculty The new campus, accordirg to Wallace D. Baddley, buildings and grounds superintendent, has a possibility of becoming one of the most beautiful campuses in the West. Situated as it is, with the mountains to the east and the val- ley and lake to the west, it pre- sents an ideal setting. The present campus, of course, is only a be- ginning of what it will become in years ahead. Dr. William Stratford, dean of men, forsees that an especially significant campus addition will be the union building. It will pro- vide facilities for gracious parties and many types of social activities and meetings far beyond our pre- sent scope. Marvi H. Gregory Dean of Women Jamct R. Foolger Tceatorer Predicting a doubling of the sfudentbody in less than ten years, registrar Clarisse Hall ex- presses the hope that Weber will continue to be known as The Friendly School.

Whitney Young, chair- man of the Life Science Division. We have all that other ages have had, plus scientific knowledge. ''It is incumbent on all people to be familiar with the basic principles of science. In our expanding population and world of knowledge the Life Sciences Division will play its part in teaching these basic principles and preparing students to enter science teaching, medicine, dentistry, nursing, agriculture, and many other professions based upon knowledge of the science of life. Dr. Young also points out, Space travel presents many problems, chief among which are the biological questions of how to produce food and survive under the vigorous condi- tions of outer space. Our most pressing problems in this world today are also biological as they concern feeding the teeming millions of the earth and providing for their water supply. The Life Science Division will aid students in the study of these vital, major problems of society, according to Dr. Young's expectations. Orton Whitney Young Divition Hood L.
