Historical note
The Board of Trustees authorized the Iowa Agricultural College (Iowa State University) to establish course work in Domestic Economy in 1872. At which time, there was no one to teach it, nor any real precedent to follow elsewhere. Mary Beaumont Welch, wife of President Adonijah Welch, attended cookery schools in New York and London to prepare for the task. She developed and administered (1875-1884) the Department of Domestic Economy, which was among the first in the nation. The name of the department was changed to the Department of Home Economics in 1912 and received division status in 1913, becoming the Division of Home Economics. At that time, the curricula were domestic science and domestic art; physical culture was added in 1915. The Division was designated a College in 1959 when Iowa State College became Iowa State University. The name of the College changed in 1987 to the College of Family and Consumer Sciences. In 2005, the College merged with the College of Education to create the College of Human Sciences. |
