Home Economics Uollogo ol Homo lloooomio The purpose of any college is to provide for the student a foundation from which she may build a place in a highly competitive society. Through the Home Economics School here at Drexel, one gains a basic knowledge of the humanities, social and physical sciences, the arts, and home economics sub- jects. A general course is presented to the freshmen as an indoctrination. The upperclass student majors in dietetics, home economics in business, edu- cation or general home economics. These courses are offered in the regular course or on the four-year coeoperative plan. Drexel Institute is one of the few colleges in the country offering degrees in home economics and, as a result, graduates of the College of Home Economics are respected wherever they go. Dean Ardenia Chapman had employed her vast knowledge and experience in furthering the advancement of home economics here at Drexel. Necessary practical experience is not limited to the co-operative plan alone. Each home economics major is required to spend six weeks at the Grace Godfrey Home Management House during her senior year, making practical use of the classroom theory. 46 Ardenicz Chapman, Dean of the College ol
