From "Third Floor Back" to Front Line Rank - Growth of Home Economics at Iowa State

Abstract

<p>From a room, third-floor back, and tucked far away in the rear of one of the dormitories, to the long two staired red brick building now standing, is a scale by which the progress of home economics at Iowa State College may be measured. Standing as it does the best and most famous of all schools offering collegiate courses in home economics, Iowa State presents an interesting aspect in reviewing the history of its growth, progress and development.</p>
