HOME ECONOMICS.
Professor Baer.
    The Home Economics Department was established in 1918 under the Smith-Hughes Act, which grants federal aid for the training of teachers of Home Economics.  The course of study is four years in length, and leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Home Economics.
    The curriculum provides for a liberal amount of academic work in addition to the sciences underlying the technical courses, thus insuring a good general education as well as professional training.
    Though intended primarily for the training of teachers of Home Economics, the various technical courses are open to all women students of the college, and to others who may desire to elect them.
