Miss Bouton Lectures on Domestic
Science at the University.

Yesterday at 3 p. m. Miss Rosa Bouton
at the chemical lecture room delivered a
lecture upon domestic science before the
Alumnae Association of the State Univer-
sity. A number of friends outside of the
Association had been invited, so that an
audience of sixty or more ladies greeted
the speaker. The trend of the lecture
was toward establishing, in the near fu-
ture, a chair of Domestic science in the
University.

Miss Bouton claimed this to be a scien
tific age and that tono point could applied
chemistry be better directed than to the
kitchen. ‘The chemistry of food ought
to be thoroughly understood by every
one, but especially by women, the arbi-
tresses of our fate. A young woman mak-
ing domestic science a study is upon her
graduation ready to do or direct in the
home. She is really ‘“fore-warned, fore-
armed.

At the close of the lecture, Dr. Rachel
Lloyd’s sophomore class of young women
served a dainty lunch, prepared by the
Doctor’s own hands upon purely scientific
principles. All were most agreeably en-
tertained and departing wished that they
might always “be upon the list” when
the Association has a lecturer.
