1458 The Cornell Reading-Courses 



of 1906, Director Bailey announced that money was available for a course 

 in home economics at Cornell. Probably the most unusual course ever 

 presented in home economics was held that year in Morrill Hall. Invita- 

 tions to lecture were sent to lecturers in other institutions, with the result 

 that some of the most able women then in the field were on the lecture 

 program of the first winter-course in home economics at Cornell University. 

 The following program will be of interest. Many of the lecturers whose 

 names appear on the program are still engaged in the teaching of home 

 economics and related subjects in various institutions throughout the 

 country :
