Description:Excerpt from The Smith Alumnae Quarterly: Index Vols. Vi, VII, VIII, IX, X; November, 1919 Miss Kerr 1900 took her Ph. D. Degree at the University of Pennsylvania in 1909. During the years 1906 - 09 when she was a student there she was successively university scholar, Bennett fellow, and Moore fellow. She was head of the Department of English at Hood College from 1900 to 1906. She has been Dean of milwaukee-downer since 1910. This article is the result of six years of experience in a college for women where home economics is an accepted part of the curriculum, in good and regular standing among the other arts and sciences. While I was a stu dent at Smith College, I often pondered the fact that, while the majority of the graduates were going into home-making, the preparation was Latin, Greek, French, German, mathematics, philosophy, astronomy all possible subjects except those which had a direct bearing on the future occupation of most of us. Ten of the sixteen years which have passed since my Commencement Day at Smith have been spent among college women students pursuing only the traditional courses of study, and six in a college where students work according to their bent in classics or home economics, or in both at the same time. Of the 120 credits required of students who major in home economics, 32 are in immediate home economics subjects, food preparation, house hold management, serving and laundry, cookery, dietetics, sewing, dress making, textiles, home nursing, and house decoration. Then there are required also certain closely allied courses of chemistry, biology, and bacteriology to the amount of 21 credits. Outside of the 53 credits made in these two groups, the 67 remaining credits for a Bachelor of Science degree are obtained from English, modern and ancient languages, art, music, mathematics, history, economics, and whatever long-established academic subjects the student may elect.
