In 1955 the College of Home Economics established a department within the college to fulfill the three-year contract with the U. S. Foreign Operations Administration to assist the government of India in a nation-wide program to modernize home economics teaching and research in its higher education institutions. Margaret Fedde, former dean of home economics at the University of Nebraska, was named department head. She had been serving as a home economics specialist in foreign countries for the past five years.
