Iowa Board reshapes three state colleges plan
The Iowa state board of education moves to coordinate higher learning by centralizing engineering at the agricultural college, transferring professional education and liberal arts courses from the teachers college to the state university, and consolidating two liberal arts programs within 125 miles. The Cedar Falls teachers college remains for elementary training, domestic science moves to the university, and the plan will be phased in with care for displaced faculty, aiming to benefit statewide education.
