M. Marie Mount, M.A. Dean College of Home Economics The College of Home Economics was cstjblislied in 1919. Up ro that time, with the exception of summer course, home economics had not been a part of the regular University curriculum. It was organized for those women students wishing to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in Home Economics work. It is the aim of this college to pre- pare young women for worth while liv- ing, either as home-makers, or as wage- earners. There are three administrative departments within the college, namely: Foods and Nutrition, Textiles, Clothing and Art, Home and Institutional Management. Each of these departments offers a well- planned curriculum, in addition to a general home economics curriculum, arranged for those who do not care to specialize. A student may obtain a teacher ' s diploma when she has completed the required subjects in the College of Education. The College of Home Economics has recently moved into a separate building, attractively decorated and remodelled, to meet the needs of an increasing enrollment. The college maintains a home management house, where senior home economics students live for a number of weeks, in family groups, to give practical experience in managing a home.
