E.G. Peterson; J.W. Ellingson; Agricultural College of Utah; UAC; Ogden, Logan & Idaho Railway; O.L.I.; Railroad Schedule
The schedule of the U.I.C. was originally organized to best support the students who would be traveling to a number of schools and universities in Ogden and Cache Valley. This October 13, 1917 letter from President Peterson questions the O.L.I. about whether their schedule can be adjusted to better serve students of the UAC. Peterson notes that it would likely be impracticable and disrupt the entire company's schedule, but wanted to see if the change would be possible.

J.W. Ellingson's response to Nelson's inquiry regarding holiday and weekend rates for students. Ellingson responded on November 26, 1917 informing Nelson that the tariff rules had to be respected and that student rates could not be applied on weekends or holidays. He then suggested that students purchase a 500 mile ticket book for use on weekends and holidays, noting that they would receive the same rate for these tickets and be able to use them at any time. Ellingson also included a copy of the tariff rules governing student rates for the review of UAC staff members.
