PRESIDENT MANN: We recognize our 

 Domestic Science Department as the better 

 half of the Institute and I want to introduce 

 to you tonight the president of the domestic 

 science department of the institute, Dr. Wilson 

 of Manhattan. 



Dr. EVA M. WILSON: It is certainly very 

 pleasant to meet with both parts of the Insti- 

 tute. I am reminded to tell you what I said 

 quietly to a group of ladies the other day. In 

 pleading that we might have more long life 

 among our men and our children I remarked 

 that I not only wanted my children to work as 

 hard as I do, but a little harder, and I decided 

 I wanted to get father to work a little harder, 

 but I hadn't told father about it. However, 

 I am convinced I am right, because we counted 

 in a nearby village the other day, and we 

 counted in our village, forty retired farmers' 

 widows. .So I think my position is right. I do 

 not want to be a retired farmer's widow so 

 we want to work. 



We are very fortunate, indeed, in having 

 with us a speaker whose mind is always work- 

 ing toward concentration toward that much
