Preferred Citation Mary Beeman collected recipes, Archives and Special Collections, Ball State University Libraries - Page 3 - Mary Beeman collected recipes RG.04.01.44 Biographical Note / Historical Note / Administrative History Mary Beeman was a pioneer in vocational home economics in Indiana. Miss Beeman was head of the home economics department at Ball State University for 22 years. Before that she had been supervisor of home economics in the Muncie schools 1918-24 and state supervisor of Home economics for the Indiana Department of Public Instruction 1924-29. She came to Ball State from the latter post, in which she was instrumental in publishing the first courses of study for home economics for Indiana schools. At Ball State, Miss Beeman was instrumental in getting the first federal funds for the college under the Smith-Hughes Act, when approval was received to train vocational personnel as well as general home economics teachers. A dietetics program was started in 1937, adult evening classes in home economics were offered, and the first home management house was opened. In 1938 she was invited by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to a White House Conference on Nutrition which designed a program for military personnel and civilians at the beginning of World War II. She organized the Indiana State Nutrition Council and was its chairman for many years. She was invited to a second White House conference by President Harry S. Truman in 1948. Active in professional organizations, Miss Beeman was secretary-treasurer of the Indiana Vocational Association, president and editor of the Indiana Home Economics Association and one of 17 state founders of Delta Kappa Gamma, international society for women in education. She was a charter member and first president of Eta Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma in Muncie. After Miss Beeman's retirement to the status of professor emeritus in 1951, the university named a hall in the DeHority Halls Complex the Mary Beeman Hall. Rekamemoh Club for home economics students, which she helped to found, was renamed the Mary Beeman Club. Miss Beeman received a Fulbright Award in 1951 to teach home economics in Silliman University in the Philippines and she established a program there for supervision of elementary and high school classes. After the Ford Foundation built a home economics building at the Beirut College for Women in Lebanon, she was invited to spend the 1954-55 year there helping the American college equip the foods and clothing laboratories. Miss Beeman was born in Boone County, the daughter of Elisha C. and Catherine Lucas Beeman. She earned a B.A. degree at Bradley University and an M.A. at Teachers College of Columbia University, and did graduate work at the University of Chicago and New York University. She taught in rural schools in Boone County, at Lebanon, and in the Bradley Academy at Peoria, Ill., before coming to Muncie. Miss Beeman, a resident of Westminster Village for the past 10 years, was a 60-year member of Muncie Altrusa Club, and a member of the American Association of University Women and the First Presbyterian Church. -Quoted from Ms. Beeman's obituary in The Muncie Star, 1984, March 9 Scope and Contents - Page 4 - Mary Beeman collected recipes RG.04.01.44 This collection includes Mary Beeman's collected recipes stored on 180 index cards within a small wooden box.
