AUGUST, 1047 Infirmary Superintendent Ends Twenty-Year Service When Alice M. Chubb retires on Aug. 31 as superintendent of the College Infirmary, she wants to go fishing. “I used to spend a lot of time fishing,” says Miss Chubb, “but since coming to State College nearly 20 years ago, I haven’t done any fishing.” Miss Chubb came here on Jan uary 1, 1928 as superintendent of the Infirmary. She had been serv ing as instructor of nurses at the Uniontown Hospital when a friend invited her to spend a weekend at Penn State. The friend was a sister of Dr. Joseph P. Ritenour, then director of the Health Service at the College, and they spent the wekend at the Ritenour home. “It was at that time Dr. Rite nour asked me if I’d like to be superintendent of the new Col lege hospital,” Miss Chubb re cals. Recently she learned that her trip wasn’t just a coincidence. Dr. Ritenour had purposely arranged to have her visit the campus so she could learn of the health ser vice and he could offer her the position. “Usually I would stay in one place for five years,” Miss Chubb added, “and then move on to an other job. But I’ve never had any desire to leave Penn State.” When Miss Chubb, joined the staff in 1928, the Health Service was housed in what now is the “Beecher Home Management House. There were eight beds in the “hospital” and two nurses. The student body totalled 3,000.

There are 11 nurses an duty with the Health Service to care for a student body that approaches 8,000. Checking over records of the past 20 years, Miss Chubb finds colds of all kinds are the most common cause for hospitalization. With the student enrollment rapidly increasing, Miss Chubb says she hopes the College soon will find it possible to have a hospital that will offer complete medical facilities, including surgery. Students, Miss Chubb has found, are good patients. Eakin Pleads For Tolerance Pleading for greater tolerance toward our neighbors, Mrs. Mil dred M. Eakin, professor of re ligious education at Drew Sem inary, Madison. N. J., warned the members of the Pennsylvania Workshop that in world affairs the bargaining power of the United States is weakened by the fact that more than 12,000,000 persons in this, country are vic tims of gfteat intolerance. Stressing that “knowing” our neighbors is much more impor tant than “knowing about” our neighbors, Mrs. Eakin said that in the former condition people be gin to realize that generalizations about their neighbors are mis leading, and that group labels no longer make-sense. Also she said, with “knowing” our neighbors comes a sense of concern over their welfare rather than just a duty, and a sense of spiritual freedom in which one sees an individual as a person, rather than as a Christian, a Jew, or a Negro. In.her illustrated lecture, Mrs. Eakin brought. out highlights in the Drew program for overcom ing racial and religious pre judice in a neighborhood served by a school in which Protestants, Catholics. Jews, and Negroes are enrolled. Get Acquainted With a gift shop where you find just the gift you desire at the price you wish to pay. The Blair Shop 142 S. Allen State College ■ " .

State College Hotel 733 —OR Company Office 769 CHARTER A BUS FOR THAT PICNIC OR SWIM PARTY Dormitory Hostesses Note Improvement In Coed Dress Coeds were affected by the war, according to the four hos tesses of Atherton Hall. Believing that the .women were less care ful in their appearance while the men were away, the hostesses feel coeds attire is more feminine with the veterans’ return. Mrs. Chester Searle, hostess of the southwest section of the dor mitory, came to the College in 1938 when Atherton Hall was opened. She feels that it is the task of the hostess to guide and motivate rather than to impose regulations. Wheaton Graduate A graduate of Wheaton Col lege, her two daughters received degrees at the College. “Girls are more independent and self-reliant since the war,” said Mrs. Charles Hall, “and there has been a definite improvement in their attire with the return of men to campus.” Mrs. Hall, who came as hostess to Atherton in 1939, attended Hiram College and Oberlin Col lege. She is hostess in the north west unit. Mrs. Clarence Furst, hostess of the northeast unit, has noticed what she terms, “abandonment” in coed actions since the war. She agrees that women students at tire has improved. Notices "Abandonment” A graduate of West Chester State, Teachers’ College, Mrs. Furst also. attended the Univer sity of Pennsylvania. Hostess of the southeast unit, Miss Elizabeth'. Laird . came to Atherton Hall in 1943.
