REPORT OF THE DEAN OF THE DIVISION OF HOME ECO- 

 NOMICS. 



To the President, Dr. J. L. Snyder : 



The report of the Dean of Home Economics for the year 1911-12 is 

 herewith respectfully submitted. 



The total enrollment for the year was 204, 10 of whom only were 

 specials. Thirty-one were registered as seniors, one of whom received 

 her degree at the end of the fall term as of the class of 1911. The 

 remaining 30 made the largest class ever graduated from the division. 



Again the Woman's Building was crowded to the utmost. The Ter- 

 race, under the efficient supervision oi" Mrs. Peppard, the resident 

 teacher, accommodated 35 young women duiing the first term and only a 

 few less for the remainder of the year. Two houses were secured near 

 the Building on Grand River Avenue, in each of which 12 3'oung women 

 were placed and which proved throughout the year very convenient for 

 the extra students. Our thanks are due to Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Bowles 

 and to Mr, and Mrs. C. L. Coffeen for their interested co-operation 

 in the care of these students in their homes. This increased number 

 with our resident teachers taxed the capacity of our dining room. Our 

 House Director, Mrs. 11. B. Crawford, was able to meet the emergency, 

 however, and a high standard of excellence was maintained in this de- 

 partment. It is clearly evident that we must have added facilities for 

 the proper care of the young Avomen who are ready to enroll with us. 



The officers and teaching force and the average number of lecture and 

 laboratorj^ hours for each was as follows: 



Miss Agnes, Hunt, B. S., Professor of Domestic Science. 17 

 Miss Grace E. Stevens, A. B., Instructor in Domestic 



Science and Art 201/-3 



Miss Hazel Berg, A. B., B. S., Instructor in charge of 



Domestic Art I91/5 



Mrs. L. L. Peppard, Instructor in Domestic Art 21 



Miss Ix)uise Freyhofer, B, S., Director of Music 21 (2 terms) 



Miss Irma Himelberger, Instructor in Alusic 23 (1 term) 



Miss Grace L. Scott, Instructor in Music 22 



Miss Delia Bemis, Instructor in Music T'/j 



Miss Edith W. Casho, Instructor in Physical Training. . 17 

 Mrs. Harriet B. Crawford, House Director. 



The valued Avork done by the two last named, in the care of the sick 

 and inspection of rooms, is worthy of record. I wish here to exijress 

 appreciation of the efficiency and sympathetic co-operation of all our 

 workers, which is the keynote to success both in our family life and 

 in the class room. 



The new course of study, with its adjustments now secured, is prov- 

 ing its value. We are glad to note the higher grade of work as evi- 

 denced by fewer failures and conditions and by a general spirit of
