520 $a This study traces the early efforts of America's hotelkeepers to improve the quality of education for their administrators and staff. This study begins in the latter part of the nineteenth century when an apprentice-style on-the-job training was essentially the way the many tasks of operating a hotel were learned.
520 $a With the establishment, at this time, of hotel organizations at the city, state, national, and international levels, the opportunities for innkeepers to discuss the many problems confronting the hotel industry, including their critical need for better trained hotel personnel, increased significantly. The appearance in these latter decades of the century of various hotel publications also served as an important source of information about developments in hotel education. Probably no publication was more widely read than John Willy's popular Hotel Monthly, which first appeared in 1893. Throughout the next three decades, Willy informed, instructed, and inspired the hotel community in its quest for better hotel education.
520 $a Europe's success in setting up formal programs of instruction for hotel employees in the latter part of the nineteenth century was soon imitated in the United States. Though the ten year effort "1907-1917" by the International Stewards' Association to establish a hotel school in Indiana failed, they succeeded in bringing national attention to the pressing need for improved hotel training.
520 $a When, during World War I, American hotels assisted the government in setting up classes to teach cooks for its large number of military personnel, the awareness of the need for such formal training for hotel personnel heightened in the hotel industry. Important new careers for educated women, especially those who were university graduates from departments of home economics, opened in hotel management when the men left for duty in the armed services.
520 $a In the post-war era, hotel leaders, with the support of hotel associations, mounted a concerted campaign to get the nation's state universities to accept the responsibility of educating hotel managers and staff. In the early 1920s, some universities, both public and private, experimented with classes in hotel education.
520 $a When Cornell University in New York, in 1922, offered the first degree program in hotel administration, this history of the half-century of struggle by determined, and at times inspired, hotel leaders, associations, publishers, and university administrators and faculty to achieve a higher quality of education to meet the demands of the modern complex hotel was concluded.
