EDITORIAL
Several months ago a plea was
made in these columns for the estab-
lishment of an infirmary, or at least
some place suitable for the proper
care of the sick. Since that time,
action has been taken in the matter
although the fact may not have be
come generally known. The follow
ing note has been received in regard
to the opening of the new infirmary,
and the situation is so well set forth
that we publish the note verbatim.
"The Pennsylvania State College
Infirmary opened its doors to its
first patient on Thursday, May 2.
Mr. Clarence H. Pennell, a member
of the sophomore class, who was
the initiatory patient, was removed
from the fourth floor of McAllister
Hall, where he had been taken sud
denly ill with symptoms of pneu-
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
monia, and placed in charge of a
trained nurse.
"This little infirmary was former
ly used as a college dormitory and
was familiarly kno - vn as the "Bright
Angel." Whether it deserved that
reputation when occupied as a dor
mitory is open to question, but in its
new capacity it surely is proving
itself worthy of the appellation in
the best sense of the term. Its first
patron is finding within its walls just
the repose and cheer which he needs
to restore him to health.
"By the establishment of this little
hospital, a long cherished hope of at
least some of "State's" good rt lends
have been consummated. In days
gone by the! e have been a number of
pathetic experiences because the
college had no facilities for properly
caring for a sick student. Although
it is hoped that there will not be the
necessity for a large patronage, yet
it will be a comfort, especially to
parents, to know that cases of ser
ious illness can have proper and
prompt attention.
"The wards of the little building
are not large but are of convenient
shape, light and airy ; the walls are
freshly painted in white and the
furniture is also white; there is a
commodious bathroom, telephone,
electric light,and steam heat ; in fact,
the whole place has a sanitary atmos
phere. The ward fitted up by the
Woman's Club contains an excellent
quality of bedding, etc. As yet the
supply of small articles is rather
limited, but these will gradually be
added as necessity requires. And
now, just suppose that some of our
friends who have plenty of money
to spare were to make this worthy
little friend a small endowment I"
In one of the most signally suc
cessful journeys that any of our
Varsity teams have ever taken. our
baseball nine on the recent Northern
trip defeated Dickinson, the Carlisle
Indians, and Cornell, the latter
victory resulting only after 17 in
nings of magnificent ball playing.
Our Varsity surely deserved the en
thusiastic home coming tendered
them last Friday morning, for the
work done for Penn State on this
recent trip was of the very finest
character
