 imh.vots i-D 60« M6 l? nie progressive spirit of the school was in evidence- '2 ’from the start, as the curriculum broadened from preparatory or elementary to high school, and to college courses. Preparatory classes were dropped in 1912, when the institution offered only high school courses. The school continued as a high school until the close of the 1922-23 school year. College courses began appearing on the class sch- edule as early as 1916, but it was not until the year 1923-24 that Weber offered only college level instruction. In 1933, the college was transfered as a gift from the church to the State of Utah, and has since re- mained a state-supported institution. Weber’s 40 years as a junior college was marked by national recognitions in many fields, including academic, vocational and terminal education, fore- nsics, athletics and other activities. Seventy-five years ago a small group of students, their faculty and board members gathered in a little Ogden meeting house to formally open an institution that has developed into Weber State College. It was on January 7, 1889, when the school held its first session as the Weber Stake Academy, organized by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints. The historic event took place in the Second Ward of the Church at 26th and Grant on the fringe of the business district, the first of four locations the institution was to occupy. As the Diamond Jubilee year is being observed, Weber State reaches full, four-year public college status with the addition of the senior class and its biggest building program in history. A total enrollment of over 5,000 students was pro- bably never envisioned when L. W. Shurtliff, President of the Weber Hoard of Education, arose to welcome the first student body of 98 scholars on that wintry day in 1889. On the stand with him were all eight members of the board, along with K. D. Richards, an apostle of the Church, and Louis F. Moench, the first principal. I will seek to lay a true foundation in the hearts of the pupils upon which they may biuid their education,” is an oft-quoted comment of Mr. Moench’s which is inscribed on a monument to his memory on the college campus.
