Although OSU is not known for its licorice production, in honor of National Licorice Day, we’d like to point you to some theses written by Oregon Agricultural College students in the Domestic Science program– all studies on the sweet side.

From 1910, by Bertha Herse and Grace Elizabeth Connell’s Candies and candy making. Cleva Peery wrote her 1909 thesis on Desserts, while Sadie Bell chose to focus on Cereal breakfast foods.

And finally, while not a thesis, don’t miss “Dame Curtsey’s” book of candy making, by Ellye Howell Glover. Also look for the 1938 The romance of candy, by Alma H. Austin and the 1958 All about candy and chocolate: a comprehensive study of the candy and chocolate industries, by Philip P. Gott and L. F. Van Houten.
