Present Minors may change to Majors
 he Home Economics major which was discontinued in September, 1939, has been
reinstated. At a meeting of the Board of Normal Regents on April 18, 1940, the resolution was passed which
gave Central State the same status in this field as it previously had. Mr. Wilson Delzell, Regent from
Stevens Point, assisted Pres. E.T. Smith in doing everything possible to accomplish this change. In
September, 1940 the major will go into effect and the department will be organized to offer a major as well
as the minor which is now available. Anyone enrolling in the Home Economics Department can earn a major and
a Bachelor of Science degree having the same status as that of any other school offering Home Ec.
Seniors have Major Status
The Sophomores and Freshmen who enrolled as Home Ec minors will be able to switch to a major without losing
any credit. Present Seniors and Juniors will have full majors in this field, due to a ruling made by
President Falk. It was to the effect that all students enrolled as Home Ec majors in September, 1939 would
be allowed to graduate with major status.
Miss Allen Director
Miss Bessie May Allen, Director of the Home Ec Department , has been on the C.S.T.C. faculty for the past
twenty-seven years. With the exception of President E.T. Smith she is one of the oldest members in point
of service. Since coming here Miss Allen said that Nelson Hall, Sims Cottages, and east wing of the College
have been built. She has had a part in planning all of theses buildings. The east wing was built to house
the Home Economics Department and the Auditorium. The rooms now occupied by the radio studios were to have
been a cafeteria in the original plans.
First Degrees Awarded to Home Ec's
When Miss Allen came to C.S.T.C., only a two-year course was offered. Later it was built to a three year
and then a four-year course, with a Bachelor of Science degree. The first two people to receive B.E.
degrees from this college were Home Ecs. They were Genevieve and Mayme Cartmill of Plover, sisters of George
Cartmill, who graduated two years ago.
