BAINING in vocational subjects Was introduced into the curriculum of Indiana State Teachers College in 1905. Originally vocational training was offered in a room in the basement of the Training School: however, progress was very slow because of very limited equipment. Gradually the Whole basement was taken over, and in addition, part of the basement of the Main Building was used. ln 1911 the department became known as the Department of Manual Training and Domestic Science. Regular vocational instruction for Women began in 19115 but the separate Home Economics Department was not created until 1915 when ade- quate space Was made available by the completion of the Vocational Building. In 1915 the policy of training teachers under the Smith-Hughes Act was instituted. A practice house has been maintained since 1920 Where girls are taught the ideals and responsibility of a house and the true appreciation of home lite. The Vocational Building contains in addition to the Home Economics Department and the Industrial Arts Department, the Teachers College Press, a shop in which most of the printed material required by the college is produced. Printing is taught here to a large number of students. LINOTYPISTS AT WORK PRACTICE KITCHEN AT MEAL TIME MACHINE SHOP PRACTICE , .-4 V --.1 fr 1n v1

W' E' 'T'f'T 'T1 HE study of science was first introduced into the curriculum of the College in the form of the natural science courses offered in 1870. Gradually the various other sciences were added to the course of study, and in 1920 these were all organ'- ized into one department called Science , The school had long failed to provide enough space for this department. Conditions were alleviated, however, in 1917 with the construction of Science Hall. This hall contains the very best in modern equipment, laboratories, lecture rooms, and classrooms. The basement of the building contains laboratories and the office of the College Physician and Nurse, who provide ade- quate medical treatment for students of the college. The first floor houses the office of the department and the divisions of physiology, botany, and zoology. On the second floor are found the laboratories and classrooms of the divisions of geography, geology, and physics. The third floor is given over to the division of chemistry. The past year has seen the completion of the murals in honor of Dr. Fred Donaghy, Professor of Physiology and Hygiene. The murals, painted by Gilbert Wilson, Terre Haute artist and friend of Dr. Donaghy, are found in the main corridor of Science Hall.
