Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and I was in college (1973-77 to be exact), that degree at my school was called Family Relations and Child Development in the College of Home Economics. Observational realists, like myself, called it the Mrs. degree.

I was at Western Kentucky University those exact same years and much later got a grad degree at Alabama. Now I have a son in college and it seems the lib activist professors are the same now as then. The difference is there were also some conservative professors when I was in. Now the conservatives seem even more endangered than the snow leopard.
