Icola Davidton Sheldon P. Hayet 8e»»ic Mumford LIFE SCIENCE DIVISION This age in which we live is different from every other age in only one particular, says Dr. O. 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.

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. Frlcchknecht Edward C. larsen Bill $• Henric Guy H. Hunt Clarence G. Wilson O. M. Clark Different programs have been ar- ranged to meet the needs of the stu- dents. 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

PHYSICAL SCIENCE M«rlon I. Stovanion Dlvliion Hoad Paralleling the growth of Weber College, the Physical Science Division has evolved educated programs in all major fields of engineering, mathematics, physics, chemistry, geology, and photo- graphy, states Merlon L. Stevenson, divi- sion chairman. From the beginning a close cor- relation has been maintained with the senior institutions to insure the students the best possible preparation for up- per division work, adds Mr. Stevenson. Space travel, mis- siles, computers, and electronics represent a few of the many demanding areas of the physical science. These demands will grow.' Ja k Atkin» A, Parley 8atei Walter R. Bv»» Efwin F.
