RIT Domestic Science apron and related objects contains 3 items: a cooking cap, apron, and drawstring bag. It is likely that the drawstring bag was made by a student in the program. The apron was made by student Alice Woodard, class of 1914. Domestic science students wore cooking caps, dresses, and aprons during classes such as home cookery, invalid cookery, and preservation of food. This particular cap was worn by Clara Preston Cole in 1919-1920. Cole was a student in the Department of Domestic Science. Three items from the Department of Domestic Science and Art at the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute: 1 apron, 1 cooking hat, and 1 drawstring bag.
