Tlieic have been several changes in the instructional force of the'division 

 during the year. Miss Winifred S. Gettemy was appointed head of the 

 Domestic Art Department to take the place of Mrs. Lillian L. Peppard. 

 Miss Gettemy has had special training along the lines of applied art, 

 color and design and interior furnishing and decoration and^has been able 

 to develop this work in a very interesting manner. A start has been 

 made toward collecting permanent exhibit materials for classes in these 

 studies. Miss Zella Bigelow, instructor in Domestic Art, has been on leave 

 of absence doing research work for the National Board for Vocational 

 Education. Mrs. Paul Miller and Mrs. C. E. Millar have taken charge of 

 classes during her absence. Miss Anna Bayha was added to the staff of 

 the Domestic Art Department at the beginning of the second term. 



Miss Hilda Faust was appointed Assistant Professor of Domestic 

 Science and given charge of the work in problem cookery. A small re- 

 search laboratory was started in connection Avith this work. This room 

 is only partially equipped, but it is expected that additional equipment 

 will be added each year as the work develops. The marked interest 

 which the young women of the College have shown in this phase of the 

 work and the excellent results obtained have been a gratification to all 

 members of the department. 



We hope to start during the next year a laboratory of mechanical 

 household devices to be used by classes in household and institutional 

 management. 



We regret very much the resignation of Miss Edna Garvin, Associate 

 Professor of Domestic Science, who has served the College so faithfully 

 and efficiently during the past four years. Recognition and words of praise 

 are due Miss Edith Casho, Mrs. Norma Gilchrist Roseboom and Miss 

 Gettemy for the beautiful pageant produced on the campus at com- 

 mencement time. Every one is delighted with the progress which the 

 young women have made in swimming under the direction of our new 

 instructor in Ph3^sical Education, Miss Helen Grimes. 



Miss Mabel Williams, who has had charge of the Senior House during 

 the past two years, has been called home, and Mrs. Mildred Osband has 

 been appointed in her place. Mrs. C. L. Lewerenz has had charge of 

 the young women at Eunomian House and Miss Springstein those at 

 Hesperian House. These houses will not be available for girls during 

 the coming year, and Abbott Hall will again be used for a girls' dormitory. 

 Miss Pandora Savage is to take the place of Miss Annie Howard as Dean of 

 Women. 



It has been a matter of considerable gratification that the work of the 

 division has been so thoroughly and completely carried out during the 

 past year. My co-workers were untiring in their efforts to make the year 

 the best that young women have known at M. A. C. I desire to express 

 my appreciation of their hearty spirit of cooperation and faithful service. 



To you also I am indebted for your thoughtful interest and cooperation 

 in developing the work of the division. 



Respectfully submitted, 

 MARY E. EDMONDS, 



Dean of Home Economics.
