Edmund O'Reilly, in A History of Santa Barbara State Teachers' College, notes that President Clarence Phelps created a program for training soldiers in 1918, but the war ended before it was implemented. In the summer of 1918, however, nine war emergency courses were offered, in food conservation, fundamentals of food and nutrition, clothing economics, millinery, general lecture course, automobile work, emergencies and massage, club work, and extension Red Cross. There also was a preparatory training course for nurses.
