Ruth Ellen Church’s college years

Before Christmas, I received a wonderful package from the Parks Library at Iowa State University – where Chicago Tribune food editor Ruth Ellen Church earned her degree in home ec journalism. (She was in the class of 1933.)

The photo above is from the papers at Iowa State. Here is more about Ruth Ellen’s cookbooks which are also there.

Here is one example of the many activities that Ruth Ellen was involved in while in college. I will blog about more of her college work next week as I work on a conference paper about Ruth Ellen’s career.

My thanks to the wonderful librarians in the Park Library at Iowa State!
