The Board of Trustees authorized the Iowa Agricultural College (Iowa State University) to establish course work in Domestic Economy in 1872. At which time, there was no one to teach it, nor any real precedent to follow elsewhere. Mary Beaumont Welch, wife of President Adonijah Welch, attended cookery schools in New York and London to prepare for the task. She developed and administered (1875-1884) the Department of Domestic Economy, which was among the first in the nation. The name of the department was changed to the Department of Home Economics in 1912 and received division status in 1913, becoming the Division of Home Economics. At that time, the curricula were domestic science and domestic art; physical culture was added in 1915. The Division was designated a College in 1959 when Iowa State College became Iowa State University. The name of the College changed in 1987 to the College of Family and Consumer Sciences. |
The collection (1912-2001, n.d.) includes documents pertaining to conferences and seminars sponsored by the college, international programs, anniversaries, and scholarships. The records also contain accreditation reviews of the college by the American Home Economics Association (American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences) and the North Central Association and reviews by the United States Department of Agriculture's Science and Education Administration's Cooperative Research Program (SEA/CR). In addition, the collection includes scrapbooks, which chronicle the events of the college for the 1920s-1950s. |
The collection is arranged in alphabetical order. |
