household economics and ad
vanced cookery were offered, al
though extension courses in gen
eral cookery were soon added for
persons not regularly registered.
In 1904, the Regents reported
the organization of a four year

bachelors degree. Four years later,
in 1908, the department was
moved to the newly completed
women's building on Ag campus,
to become a part of Ag college.
Home Economics had found a
home at NU.
Now, since 50 years of progress,
the department boasts an enroll

THE OLD The first classes in Home Economics, then called the
School of Domestic Science, were held on the city campus at the
Mechanic Arts building. This class in food study was held in a
chemistry laboratory where Bunsen burners were used for cook
ing. Courses were offered under the headings of food economics,
household economics and advanced cookery, supervised by Miss
Rosa Bouton, first head of the Department of Home Economics. The
year was 1899.
