HEc College
With Best
The University can boast of having one of the best and
most complete colleges of home economics in the country.
Established as a field of learning at the University in the
latter half of the 19th century, the college now has its main
headquarters in Home Economics Building on the east side
of the little mall.
The function of home econom
ics is to integrate the contribu
tions of the physical and biologi
cal sciences, the social sciences,
psychology and philosophy along
with all phases of home and fam
ily life insofar as they are used
by families and by agencies serv
ing families,
This integrating function is
achieved through a program of
research, field services and res
ident leaching.
The_ resident program in the
college is designed for students
who wish to prepare for family
responsibilities and for those who
wish to study affairs of the home
to go into professions related to,
but not a part of home economics.
Grad uate and undergraduate

home and family life and related
subjects. They are: Child Devel
opment and Family Relation
ships, Clothing and Textiles,

Economics, Foods Nutrition and
Health, Home Art, Home-Com
munity Relations, Housing and
Home Equipment, Commercial
Consumer Services, Home Eco
nomics Education, Hotel Admin
istration, Institution Administra
tion and General Home Econom
ies.
Persons graduating from
these curriculums with B.S. de
grees are qualified for fields in
teaching, dietetics, family coun
seling, hotel management, cook
ing and equipment demonstrat
ing, public health, nursery
school training- welfare, mag
azine, newspaper and radio
work, retailing and commer
cial consumption.
Home economics majors are
required to spend six weeks of
one summer in practicum work
in addition to the regular eight
semesters.
Facilities and equipment' for the
home ec program includes a nur
sery school, a cafeteria and a tea
room, four home management

houses and practice laboratories,
as well as the facilities of such
cooperative agencies as the Nit
