The Department of Registration and Education, created by the Civil Administrative Code of 1917, absorbed the powers and duties of a number of earlier boards and agencies. Under the Civil Administrative Code the Department of Registration and Education assumed responsibility for regulating the practice of various professions within the state, including the examination and licensing of individuals engaged in the professions. The powers and duties involved were transferred from the Board of Veterinary Examiners, the Board of Livestock Commissioners, the Board of Examiners of
Horseshoers, the Board of Examiners of Architects, the Board of Examiners of Structural Engineers, the Board of Health, the Board of Pharmacy, the Board of Dental Examiners, the Board of Nurse Examiners, the Board of Optometry, and the Board of Examiners of Barbers. A number of other professions have since been added to the department's jurisdiction.
The department also assumed the responsibilities of the boards of trustees for the state's normal universities and teachers' colleges located at Normal, Carbondale, Charleston, De
Kalb, and Macomb. These institutions were administered by the department's Normal College Board, the name of which was changed to the Teachers' College Board in 1941 (L. 1941, vol. 1, p. 1277). In 1949 jurisdiction over Southern Illinois University at Carbondale was transferred to a newly created board of trustees for that institution (L. 1949, p. 1618). Control over the remaining institutions was removed from the department in 1951 when a new and separate Teachers' College Board was created (L. 1951, p. 954).
The department also exercised jurisdiction over the State Museum, the Natural History Survey, and the State Geological Survey, and was responsible for investigations of entomology and the state's geological, water, and mineral resources. These functions were passed over to the newly created Department of Energy and Natural Resources in 1981 (P.A. 82-592, pp. 3016, 3043).
