Food Stores Mont
Has Huge Capacity
"If all the breakfast rolls produced each 'morning for College
students were placed end to end, they would stretch from here to
Altoona-45.6 miles! -The hot cereal consumed in the dorms could
fill two trailer tank cars."
'•"'_ During a tour of the Food S
service organization, Manager an.
the output of food necessary to
feed college students and showed
how'the most modern equipment
available is utilized to the fullest
extent, making it necessary to
employ only 15 cooks and six ad
ministrative workers.
The Food Stores building, a
three-story brick structure locat
ed by the golf course, is a central
ized food processing and 'storage
building whose purpose it is to
save space and labor in residence
halls. Thus, the food output is
doubled at the same labor costs.
The butchering and freezing of
all meats and the baking of pies,
cakes and bread is carried on
here, rather than in the indivi
dual dorm kitchens. '
In order to understand this
modern miracle it is necessary to
go through the • building, observe
the methods used and see how
few people do the jobs of many.
Cleanliness
The visitor may be struck by
the general atmosphere' •of the
building—one of bea u t y and
cleanliness. Floors are a spotless
terrazzo, quarry tile and asphalt
tile.
To the west of the lobby is the
canned vegetable storeroom,
which has a capacity of about
ten carloads of cased goods. Here
cases of soups, fruits and vege
tables—even chocolate bars—are
kept at a temperature of 45 de
grees.
Opposite this room is the ex
perimental • kitchen, furnished
with equipment which duplicates
in size and kind that used in the
dotm kitdhens. Foods are tested
to check that they meet the spe
cifications, and new recipes are
devised.
- The bakery is probably the
busiest section of the building,
for here food must be produced
constantly. The breakfast rolls
that start the day.• off right . . .
the bread, rolls, cakes and pies
for lunch and dinner are all pro
ducts of the mass production
methods used in the bakery.
3 Men Make 700 Pies
Three men can turn out 700 pies
in one morning. The dough, is
mixed in large troughs, and the
crust roller turns out sheets. less
than an eighth of an inch thick.
One man lays the crust on the
plate, another fills it, the third
adds the upper crust. From here
President's Residence Is
Linked To College History
• Planked on the left and crowded in the rear by ugly engineering
units, the President's Home on front campus marks time with quiet
dignity. Its new face of stately white columns, its roof and landscap
ing together with sonic , smaller changes, fail to sever its link with
Old Main of the past and present.
Dr. Evan Pugh, first president of the College, was responsible
for the original structure. In 1863
he asked the trustees to author
ize 'building the house at "a cost
of $3OOO, offering to donate $lOOO
for the purpose himself. His offer
was accepted but Dr. Pugh died
before the building, in the pre
vailing colonial farm house style;
was completed late in 1864. The
dwelling has been 'occupied by
add ten of the College's presidents
since that date.
Social Center
From 1882 to 1906 the Presi
dent's home was the campus so
cial center with faculty recep
tions and Women's Club meetings
being' held there.
Changes in 1895 included a new
porch built around an apple tree,
at the request of Mrs. Atherton
whO liked its shade. The porch
was built around the side to meet
the conservatory on the southeast
side of the house. Accommoda
tions for four rooms on the' third
floor instead of the original two
were made by raising and chang
ing the roof.
Landscaping included two cir
cular flower beds, tenderly cared
for by Mrs. Atherton, and a bridge
on the path ,to Old Main. The
whole area was li_berally sprin
kled with apple trees.
Major Alterations

tores 'building, center of the food
Buyer Robert Prophet discussed
the pies are whisked into the two
electrically-driven, six-shelf
ovens. The shelves, each holding
16 pies, rotate so the products will
bake evenly.
At the same time, 675 dozen
dinner rolls are baking, and bat
ches of bread ,dough are being
made up. Man hours are saved by
the use of a flour sifter with a
storage capacity of three barrels;
120-quart dough , mixer, designed
to turn out a home-style loaf of
bread, and a bread molder, which
delivers 1000 loaves an hour.
Bread isf one of the most popular
items on the menu, especially in
the men's dining halls, and ap
proximately 1400 loaves are bak
ed during the night.
Meat Frozen
On the west side of the first
floor is the butcher shop. Large
carcasses hang from the ceiling;
these are broken down into
wholesale cuts and tagged with
weight and price, then quick
frozen. According to Prophet, the
meat is sent to the College from
Omaha, Neb., and is government
inspected and graded. "We buy
the best," he says. Scraps of beef
are ground into hamburger by
three HP electric food choppers,
and shaped into patties by an
electric food shaping machine.
Electric meat saws,. cube steak
machine, and flake ice machine
speed up the work of the three
butchers. Again, machines do the
work of many. .
On the second floor are' facili
ties for storing frozen fruits and
vegetables, as well as a quick
freeze tunnel. = Bags of sugar, po
tato chips and salt are stored in a
special dehumidified room to
keep them dry.
Hamilton Standard
Promotes 2 Grads
Two graduates of the Collegg
have been promoted to new posi

made between 1902 and 1903 with
baths, decorations and a floral
observatory being added. Other
important inner changes were
made when the house was pre
pared for President Sparks in
19_08.
During the World War I era
the rooms in the College avenue
side were given over to Red Cross
work with faculty wives and
townswomen working together
there for the men in, the AEF.
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie,
Mr. and Mrs. Charles M. Schwab
and many ot her distinguished
state and national personages
have graced the old: structure
with their presence in the past.
Other Changes
Last important changes to the
home were made in 1940 when
the roof and porch were rebuilt
to their present form. The lily
pond, cement fo o t bridge and
other small additions were made
at the same time. '
Today the old stone and wood
structure has 16 rooms with ser
vants' quarters built over the
garage. In its appropriat land
scaping it is considered by' au
thorities .to be a veiy beautiful
example of early American arch
itecture.

American architecture of the last
300 years.
The exhibition opens with maps
and drawing of the importation of
17th century European building
forms and their adaptation to
changes in climate, material, etc.
in the New World.
"Later Colonial Homes" are
illustrated by the four-square
house of , New England and

Wedding Cake House," at Kenne

porary architecture. The last of
the 47 panels are devoted to
houses of the past decade.
