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.
Today, the College has an in

THE SUMMER COLLEGIAN—STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
Potato Growers of Pennsylvania,
that has a normal capacity of 30
patients and can accommodate 50.
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.

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. She is a
graduate of Bucknell College.
“Women; are. more serious
about their studies now than
they were during the war pro
bably because the professors are
“bearing down,” Miss Laird said.
Warning
Dormitory hostesses .warn all
coeds to keep their money and
valuables in a safe place espe
cially-during the last few days
of school.
Thefts usually occur at the
-end of the semester when
women are leaving, therefore
special precautions should be
taken.

Dean Defines Adult Traits
“Being an adult is dangerous,
but it’s not as dangerous as not
being an adult,” Dr. Hilda
Threlkeld, dean of women at the
University of Louisville, and re
tiring president of the National
Association of Deans of Women,
told members of the Pennsyl
vania Workshop.
“Moreover,” Dr. Threlkeld add
ed, “I know of only two classes
of people who have no mental
conflicts—those who live in a
make-believe world, and those

In her talk, “From the Dean’s
Office,” Dr. Threlkeid defined
her concept of the traits that go
in to make up a mature adult.
She listed freedom and indepen
dence, ability to find contentment
through rational compromise, an
understanding of life, responsib
ility, open mindedness, honesty in
pattern, tolerance, patience, an
out-pouring, personality, and the
ability to find a life work that
interests and absorbs.
