(Signpost photos: Scott MillerRon Jugenitz) o n March 19, 1959, Governor George Dewey Clark signed Senate Bill 132, which established Weber College as a four-year institution. On November 7, 1985, President Stephen D. Nadauld, was inaugurated as the ninth president of the College that had begun as Weber Academy in 1889, nearly 100 years of education experience. In his inaugural speech, Dr. Nadauld praised the efforts of those who had sacrificed to bring Weber State College to its current status. He said, "Looking back we will find that in 1892, three years after our inception, members of the Board of Education, with names like Shurtliff, Middleton and Moench, mortgaged their homes and personal property to construct permanent quarters for the infant school." Upon that basis and on the laurels of those that have gone before, Dr. Nadauld stated that the investiture was not "to honor any individual, but to honor the institution and the principles of learning for which purpose it was founded. 'Truly we stand on the shoulders of giants," said Dr. Nadauld, refering to the distinguished alumni of WSC. People such as J.
