Gripe About Health Service,' Says Dr. Ritenour "Students who complain of the present day College Health SerV ice should have been here in 1917 when I first came to work in the College," said Dr. J. P. Ritenour, head of the College Health Serv ice, in a recent interview. "At ,that time," continued Dr. Ritenour, "the College Dispensary and Infirmary were located next to the tri-dorms in vivilat is now Bennett Douse, a student home economics practice house, "All Dispensary, calls were handled on the first floor;' the second. floor had room for six bed patients; and a married couple Who as sisted with the patients lived on• the third floor,' stated Dr. Rit enour. I I Dr, Ritenour also told ' the re porter of other poor existing con ditionS. Be said that at Bennett Hobse, the College only employed one full time nurse and one part time, nurse. According to Dr. Rit enour these women nursed the Patients day and night, cooked their own meals, and all those of their patients, and• tended the fur nace. One bathroom for all sa tients, nurses, the caretakers, and the physician, no facilities for heating water were some other poor features of the old hospital which Dr. Ribenour revealed. In addition to the regular hos pital, itie College maintained a shaCk for contagious` diseases. This was, located' -on the . site where the. Water , tower now siands. 170 the "Pest Douse" as this branch of the hoipital was commonly called , were Vought all cases 91 measles, mumps, Cliicken pox, and..sCailet Dr. titenour. stated that Ben nett House, was_ later remodle . d, a bptli' Wak eided on the third floor, the heaiing system waS connected to the college power plant, the staff was gradually in creased, and a cook was hired. On January 4, 1929 the present locat0: opposite Grange DormitOry was opened for use. ThiS bUilding regularly holds 30 bedS but 'has . room fOr 50. Up until .1938 when Old Main was rebuilt, the Dispensary was lo cated in the basement of the in firmary building. Working in the hospital and the dispensary were eight nurses, a superintendent, one doctor .and one clerk. Now the College employs five physic ians, ten nurses, (two at the dis- PAGE• spw* pensary), one superintendent of nurses, one laboratory technician, one x-ray technician, two cooks, a housekeeper, a helper, and four clerks, (three at the Dispensary, and one at the Hospital.) In going over his records_ Dr, Ritenour discovered that at pres ent a much larger percentage of the College enrollment come to the DisperiSary and Infirmary, for treatment. Tug-e'-wars, old-fash iOns4 fist fights. and epidemics of scarlet fever, measles, and . in fluenza, were once ttie causes of a, great number of hospital .caseS. Noiv upper reSpiratOry diseases and minor. acciderifg bring many cases in for -treatment. P. Riteriour came to the College in the: summer of 1917 after Warren E. Forsythe, former college physician, left for work with the Rockefeller center. At present Dr. Forsythe is head of the Health Service at the Uni versity of Michigan.
