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.

Inland H. Monson Chrm. Humanities Div. HUMANITIES Gordon T. Allred English Thomas R. Burton English The Humanities has operated as an instructional division of Weber State College since 1933. Dr. Inland H. Monson has been chairman of the Humanities Division since its beginning. He has seen it grow and expand from a small department to one of the largest and most effective at Weber State today. The division has found it hard to find classrooms and there is a shortage of storage space. In the near future the division will enlarge the speech and drama areas, and initiate a new musical program. The completion of the fine arts center and auditorium will pave the way for these changes to take place. This expansion will create a new and bigger challenge to all students. The past is yet living in the arts. It is our challenge to use all our abilities to create as did the masters. We must pass to the future what we see and feel. Thatcher M. Allred Clair J.
