By Dean Jean Krueger In the 1895 College catalog an interesting statement was made to the people of Mich igan. It appeared under the caption, " T he Women's Course" and the account ran as follows: life. it will go the dining "Science is but a knowledge of the laws of our own being, of the constituent ele ments and power of all that we see and feel, of the currents of energy that sweep around and above and through u s; and science has its beneficient applications at every moment and in every situation of this into If allowed, human the bedroom, the dressing room, the nur sery, the kitchen, and room, there evolve a sweeter, saner mode of liv ing, simplify and systematize duties and in labors that at present hold our women practical slavery, bring on premature ex from haustion and old age and take away is this life all dignity and sweetness. the emancipation, the emancipation tyranny of the kitchen and the nursery that woman most needs and it is this that ap plied science can give. Recognizing this duty and mission, the College has organ ized for the coming year a woman's course based on the same principles and having the same end two in view as courses, viz., the capability to take prompt hold of life on the side of its material tasks. It does not despise what are called 'the- accomplishments', yet it is equally far Tfom intending to allow these 'accomplishments' to usurp the whole domain of education.

W i th those thoughts in mind, a course of study covering four years of work was out the lined and adopted in the 39th year of College's history. so course was planned as to afford young women an op portunity to acquire a thorough knowledge of English, mathematics, history, literature, French, chemistry, entomology and natural philosophy; but the distinguishing feature of the course was the emphasis placed upon homemaking. There in was in addition the in cooking. freshman year, a full course in his annual report said, T he president, that to familiarize students with the most health ful, attractve and at the same time, econ such omical methods of preparation of articles of food as are found on a well ap pointed table".

Following this catalog announcement, 39 women enrolled on September 4, 1896, as regular four-year students and seven en rolled as special students.

During the next few years the depart ment so demonstrated its usefulness that it received in 1899, from the legislature, the stamp of its emphatic approval in the form of a $95,000 Women's building which was dedicated and occupied This building was planned to house the women themselves as well as to give space to their home economics, music and physical educa tion classes. The women's course had so it was offering a broader developed agricultural than range of course, in which there were always a few women enrolled, but thought was still the "capability of taking firm hold of tasks, to apply science to the work of an effort the household, to simplify and systematize its duties and dignify its labors." life on the side of that studies its material the central the The Women's building was occupied in In 1902 it was reported that every 1900. and available space was used and that the hous ing of women students had again become a problem.

An appeal was made to the people the the state very throughout largely by woman representative on the Board of Agriculture, Mrs. Dora Stockman. T he en thusiasm aroused resulted in a second gen erous appropriation on the part of the leg islature, making possible the modern home economics building which" was put into use in 1924. Throughout the entire development of the education of women at the College, as in other colleges, the far sighted vision of a group of men and women clearly stand out. They believed in equal educational ad vantages for both sexes. They visualized the application of science to the work of of women, relieving them of their drudgery just as science has aided man himself. Living conditions have changed radically since the doors of the College were opened to women. T he problems to be met in the future education of women are no longer what they were thirty years ago. We are not concerned now so much with the actual machinery of living, the perfection of the skills the sewing of a "fine seam" or the making of a delicious pie, as sociological the psychological, we are and economic adjustment of family groups to present day and future needs—the fitting of individuals into a rapidly changing so cial structure. involved in in T he future of home economics presents even more complicated problems than those which have had to be faced in the past. The responsibility of women graduates of colleges and universities is ever increasing.

Philosophy and ethics are now consider as being subjects upon which more ed stress should be placed in the education of women. T he enlargement of the scope for which women must prepare themselves has considerably enlarged the basic foundation which they must master. TWO NEW COURSES OFFERED TO WOMEN T wo new courses for women, both related to the home economics course, are creating interest at present. One of considerable five-year course in nursing and them, the home economics, was described the catalog which last spring. in the College published T he description of this course, as outlin ed in the catalog, is as follows: " T h r o u gh an affiliation with the E d w a rd W.

This course leads to the degree of bachelor of science and the certificate of graduate nurse. To be eligible for this combined course, a student must meet the require In ments for admission to the College.

The other . course, announcement of which will appear in the catalog published this spring, leads to the degree of bachelor of arts and may be defined as a combina tion liberal arts and home economics course. Students will be able to major in liberal arts and minor in home economics, selecting any of the regular home economics majors as their minors. This course should prove ex ceedingly popular as it contains scientific background of interest to women as well as affording a great deal of work in the so- called cultural courses. Page 372 The M.

SUMMER CAMP MODEL FOR OTHERS Interlochai Project Handled by Institutional Management Department Draws Interest of Many States; Development Possible to Include Similar Camps In Other Parts of Michigan. that General the movement started by interest aroused over the sum mer camp project of the home economics division during the past year seems to in dicate the College will not only be continued in this state but will be inaugurated by other col leges as well. Dozens of inquiries have come into the office of Dean Jean Krueger of the home economics division asking for details regarding the manner in which the it fits into the camp was conducted, how the women and what curriculum of the financial status of such a plan turned out to be in the first year of its history here. T he camp, better known as " T he Cabin", at Interlochen State park, was tried out last summer for the first time. As planned by the institutional manage the members of ment course, the project has a three fold purpose. It shall provide satisfactory food at moderate cost to campers and tourists. It shall offer training in institutional man agement, food service and sales to women majoring or minoring in this work. It shall provide a means of making a study of mar keting local produce. By means of the -hearty co-operation of the state park commission and the College, equipment and camp necessities were amply furnished provided. The park commission the dining the dining room and kitchen, room furniture, tents for housing the stu dents and instructor in charge, fuel, water and other necessities of this nature. China and other table ware, kitchen utensils, re frigerator, and equipment of this kind was furnished by the College, as well as the salary for the instructor in charge.

Breakfast, l u n c h / a f t e r n o on tea and din ner were on the daily bill of fare. During the first five weeks food was sold outright to those desiring to dine further along the road. At the end of this period this prac the tice had to be discontinued because of growth of the business at the camp itself and lack of facilities and students to pre pare such large quantities of food. A sales stand was conducted at all times, however, dispensing ice cream, candy, cigarettes, etc. In the report to the College regarding the project after the home economics staff expressed itself as be ing well satisfied with the work and con vinced that it should be continued. Of the people who stopped at Interlochen to dine, 700 actually registered, the registry includ ing the names of many alumni, friends of initial experiment, the The M. S. C.

Work of this nature is considered very- valuable for those students taking institu tional management at the College. Of the 12 who actively participated in the first ef fort, four are considered capable of taking direct charge of such camps. the report, expansion In the recommendations as given in the conclusion of to other tourist sections of the state is recom mended. Due to the proximity of Glenn Haven park to Interlochen, the establish ment of a camp in that park is suggested. This arrangement would make it possible for one instructor to be in charge of both camps. It is also suggested that all such dining places be designated as "The Cabin". The report recommends that sleeping quar ters for a limited number of guests be pro vided. Officials of the College feel that there is real service possible in such projects as "The Cabin".

Practically every member of the home economics staff has been called upon during the progress of the course to assist in pre senting these lectures. T he College may not be the originators of systematic exten sion by radio, but it is safe-to say that it is a pioneer in this type of work. T he course is divided into eight separate groups, each of which deals with distinct phases of home and community life.

Alderman continued his record smashing drive*by taking the 300-yard dash in 134.6 lowering his record of last year for this meet by a half second. Otto of Ypsilanti defeated Grim in the finals of the 40-yard dash, with Alderman taking fourth. Probably the most spectacular race of the entire meet was the 880-yard relay be tween Western State and the Varsity. P r e viously, in the 880-yard relay for M. I. A.

Long List of Regulars. A hectic game of basketball marked the annual Alumni-Varsity tilt on March 6, which the alumni won in overtime play, score 40-38. After referee the game the the second half had been at that vowed least 30 minutes long and that it was not humane to force the contenders to play an additional period to decide the victors. for the stars Al Brown, Frimodig and H u gh Robinson It was were the alumni. the game Lyman's field goal which threw into overtime and it was Brown's grand stand toss from the depths of the floor that placed the oldtimers in the winning'column. H u gh Robinson contributed 13 points. Coach Kobs was content the game to run as evenly as possible as far to allow as the score was concerned. As soon as his quintet rolled up a small lead he would send in substitutes. T h r ee of the men he used in the game had not broken into v a r sity games all season. '•Larry'' x\rcher, " J o h n n y" Barr, E l- wood Mason, Lyman Frimodig, " R e d" Eva, " L a r r y" K u r t z, " D u t c h" Miller, H u gh Robinson and " B u b" Kuhn, all saw action in the alumni lineup. Most of them were in surprisingly good shape and stood the gaff of the long game without showing un due weariness. T he for timekeeper's pistol came criticism because it seemed to break out at the crucial moment each time with the score in The M. S. C. Record Page 379 in favor of the veterans. At the end of the second period, just when the alumni held the lead for an instant, the gun sounded, ending regular play. Again, in the overtime period, the same thing happened.
