Historical note
Courses in domestic science offered in the summer of 1915 for prospective teachers of that subject led to the organization of a regular department of home economics in the fall of that year under the guidance of a series of young women instructors. Classes were held first in Simpson Hall, no longer needed since the demise of the Art School, and later in a house remodeled for that purpose on the corner of Spring Avenue and Simpson Street. Eventually a small student cafeteria was established nearby that was operated by the home economics department for about a decade.
