Assistant Professor in Nutrition; Miss Avis L. Sprague, University of Chicago, 

 as instructor in Institutional Management; Miss Helen Goodrich, University 

 of Chicago, as Assistant Professor of Household Art. For the interval be- 

 tween September 27 and December 1, when the present Dean assumed the 

 administrative duties of the division, Miss May Person was appointed as 

 Acting Dean. To her conscientious service, together with the splendid co- 

 operation of the Home Economics faculty, the success of the year's work is 

 due. 



COURSE OF STUDY. 



It was deemed necessary by the faculty of the Home Economics division 

 and by the Advisory Home Economics Committee of the General Faculty 

 to make certain revisions in the course of study for the next year, allowing 

 greater range of choice among electives for students beginning with the 

 junior year and higher specialization than is now offered, also to develop a 

 general course which would permit a matriculate to take an elective for each 

 of four years, and while receiving all the fundamental training in home 

 economics, to minor in another subject. The need was also pressing because 

 of the newer opportunities open to home economics graduates as hospital 

 dietitians, visiting housekeepers, county home demonstration agents, clini- 

 cians in hospitals, expert buyers for mercantile firms, and cafeteria and lunch 

 room managers. 



The evidence of this need for specialized training is shown by the positions 

 accepted by graduates of this year's class, fifteen per cent enter the service of 

 hospitals as dietitians, ten per cent, extension service of the Michigan Agri- 

 cultural College, one social service field, one State Board of Health, one com- 

 mercial demonstration, and the rest, teaching. 



The following courses to become effective with the fall of 1921, were accepted 

 by the General Faculty and approved by the State Board of Agriculture:
