We will have for your advantage the same congenial student organization that has been a feature of former years. fYour investigation is invited. NEW COLLEGE ORGANIZATION READY TO FUNCTION Complete Courses in Fundamental College Subjects at Students9 Disposal Faculty Reception, September 7th, at The Berthana The Faculty Reception, so it may be called, since Weber is now a full fledged Junior College, on Friday, September 7, 1923, is just another very, very enjoyable time on Weber's social calendar and which all Weber students will desire to attend. We all remember the "Junior Prom" and "Girl's Day" last year besides all the regular dances with the pleasant-est of reflections, but "The Faculty Reception" or Weber's opening dance for 1923-24 eclipses all preceding successes of Weber. Why this seemingly premature eclipse? it may be asked. Eclipses at Weber come very frequently according to all scientific principles, but it's just the continuation of the growth of the genuine Weber spirit. President Tracy said at the close of school last year, "While many may look upon the passing of the old Weber Academy with sadness it is a distinct achievement in the historv of our school. NOW MAY WE BEGIN IN EARNEST WITH OUR COLLEGE." So we are. The President's reception, an endless college tradition, will be the first college social ever given in Ogden. It took Weber spirit to establish this college, and it will take added Weber spirit to carry it on. During this dance, or more especially when you greet our President, the old scriptural passage "By their fruits Ye shall know Them" will be changed to "By their shakes Ye shall find Weberites." So let them be all hearty shakes, and show Weber that you love her and appreciate her. Thus the purpose of this gathering is given. Our president wishes to meet all Weber Students and furthermore so that all may be able to renew that everlasting Weber friend ship for Weber's axiom is, "Once a Weberite, always a Weberite." Owing to the small floor space in the Weber Auditorum and furthermore because this dance is rather a formal affair it will be held in the Berthana Hall. This reception will be "strictly" invitational, but invitations will be given to all former students and all prospective students of Weber. We earnestly hope there will not be any "one-night" Weber students. By the way, the weatherman (his name has just slipped our memories) has decided not to give us any floods or terrific winds or suffocating heat, etc., but guarantees us a "just-right" evening to have a perfect "Weber" time. And now when September 7th comes, be sure that all your autos, Fords, trucks, tax-ies, wagons, bicycles, motorcycles, one-hoss shays, and all vehicles, (none excluded) are headed towards the Berthana, but please, please don't be so anxious to get there that you will be forced to spend your pleasantly planned evening in the ??? And now, the main points for you to remember are, "One grand and glorious time, Friday, September 7, 1923, at the Berthana on Weber's Faculty reception night". So be there ! ! ! So be there. Oh, instead of being late because you are frantically hunting the price of a dance ticket be there on time; that is 8:45 o'clock, not ten o'clock, for it's FREE, (no joking either).Now after you have read this you might as well say (for it's the truth), "Now isn't that like dear old Weber to do such an accommodating and pleasant thing in such an opportune time." Professor Josephs At Weber Professor Lemuel B. C. Josephs of the American Academy of Dramatic Art in New York City has been given a temporary leave of absence from his institution in order that he might come west for the winter and recuperate from the strenuous season of play producing in which he has played so great a part. During his stay in Ogden, where he is already well known for his production of "The Merchant of Venice," in which he played the title, role, he will be attached to the Weber College in the capacity of head of the Department of Dramatic Art and Public Speaking. The event of his coming will mean much for Ogden because he is recognized as one of the leaders, if not the head, of his profession in the United States. His life is a series of artistic successes. Reared in the inner circles of the theatrical world by his father, awell-to-do play producer, he has been all his life either on the stage playing, or behind it directing. He has had twenty years' experience playing in different parts of the country. He has played in practically all of Shakespeare's plays, and at present is specializing on the production of modern drama. Professor Josephs will conduct classes in public speaking and play writing, as well as give private lessons. Miss Browning New Librarian Miss Eva Browning, who was office clerk last year, is to be the librarian this year, according to an announcement by President Tracy. Miss Browning takes the place made vacant by the resignation of Miss Ida Scowcroft. Improvements on Building and Campus Startling sights will greet the students on their return to Weber this year. Old landmarks have vanished, new ones have appeared. A collegiate spirit prevails on the campus of Weber. The old buildings adjoining the main structure have been torn down. In place of them there are lawns and tennis courts are to be built soon on the places where they formerly stood. Several concrete walks have been built in practical places. The gymnasium, with its new heating plant having a hundred foot smoke stack, has changed materially since last year. No longer does dust arise from the dirt heaps in the rear. Rich grass encircles the mechanic arts shop, and the old fences nearby have been torn down to improve the appearance.The campus extends from Twenty-fifth Street without a break. This, together with the absence of the old poplar trees on the south-east of the building, has given Weber spacious, roomy grounds that compare favorably with those of any other junior college in the west. Fresh paint on all the outside metal and woodwork also tends to give Weber a clean, sanitary look and the complete cleaning given to the inside of the building certainly does not lessen the general effect. Yes, truly, the atmosphere will be different. Doctor Lind and four girls went on a hike. Doctor Lind forgot the trail. (That's the way the story goes) . But, anyway, this company of five were forced to spend the night in the mountains. (Note: In case anyone should want to know who the girls were, quietly ask a staff member.) On the tenth of September Weber will open its doors upon a new era in its history. We are no longer a combination of college and high school, with the college depending on the high school for its life and activity. From now on Weber is a full-fledged junior college in a city where a college has long been needed. From all indications at present, we will have at least twice as many college students this year as were enrolled last year. Aside from a few rooms which will be used for seminary work the whole building will be devoted to college activities. This will insure plenty of room for three hundred students, the number anticipated.Registration will take place on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the sixth, seventh and eight of this month. Those wishing to register for any subject are urged to do so at their earliest opportunity. Due to the difficulties of arranging schedules this will be necessary.
