In 1889, when Weber State was founded as an academy, business and commercial courses were offered on a high school level. Weber State College was transferred to the state in 1938, and organized as a junior college. More courses were added and have been offered in increasing numbers since that time. A new building was added in 1954, which has allowed the division to expand. The increasing enrollment and the addition of teachers is beginning to squeeze the division and as a result, classes are held in the afternoon in other buildings to accommodate the increase. Within the Business Division there are four departments: Accounting, Business Admin- istration, Economics, Secretarial Training. Through the Business Division the student gains an ability to enter the adult world fully prepared to meet its problems. The student learns organization and tact in communicating with society, and a knowledge of a way to make a living and to contribute successfully to the society. The Business Division creates leaders in business com- muntiy and society.

Dr. Caseel D. Burke Chrm. Ed. Div. EDUCATION Teacher education at Weber State College is new as a bachelor-degree program. How- ever, the preparation of teachers has been one of the most important functions of the college during most of the time since its beginning seventy-five years ago. The Fall Quarter of 1962 - 63 marked the beginning of the four year preparation of teachers on campus. Five full-time staff members composed the faculty in professional education during the first junior year, and during our present senior year and additional five staff members have been added. Nearly all staff members have campus assist in preparing teachers, since most of the departments of the college provide the general education program and subject specialization required for public school teaching. Through a well-planned admissions proced- ure, the students who enter the teacher education program at Weber State are carefully selected, and a special effort is made to provide them with learning exper- iences, in all phases of their college work, that will prepare them well for leadership among the children and youth in our elemen- tary and secondary schools.
