Thackrey Sees Prof
Subsidizing Society
Low faculty salaries means the teacher is subsidizing society as a whole, and not the
students, according to Russell I. Thackrey, executive secretary of the American Associa
tion of Land-Grant Colleges and State Universities.
Thackrey, who spoke to a faculty-trustee symposium yesterday, said that “if student
foes are raised as a matter of necessity to increase faculty salaries, individual students

Ike Seeks Relief on California Links
• PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (/P)
—A sniffling President Eisen

cold yesterday on the golf

Ike, wearing only a flimsy,
short-sleeved sport shirt and wool

host at nearby La Quinta, and
William Robinson, board chairman
of the Coca-Cola Co.

A system where high fees force'
a student to borrow money in
order to get an education is not
one of equality, he said.
“The ideal of equal access' to
education is not discernible in
proposals that the children oi
the wealthy finish college free
of debt, while the children oi
people of moderate or low in
come are asked to start their
, careers and found their homes
under a long-term indenture."
Speaking of the current compe
tition with the Soviet educational
system, Thackrey said, "applica
tion of the charge account phil
osophy to higher education is not
the answer to the Russian chal
llenge.”
Thackrey said education must

He said the
quality of a uni
versity is de

not “by the ri- Th.ckrty
gidity of its admissions stand

The true criteria, Thackrey
said, "is the quality of instruc
tion it provides and the stand
ards of performance it requires.
If an individual is educated to
the maximum of his capacity,
society will benefit."
He also contended that the
“establishment of rigid admissions
standards based on test scores or
high-school elass standings also
bars many students of great po
tential from higher education.”
He also said the University
must encourage individuality in
a society pressing for conformity.
“All men are different,” he said.
"The public university must
provide a challenge to the bet
ter student," he said, while
still providing the average stu
dent with a good education.

Ist Hospital Housed
In 'Bright Angel 1
In 1907 half of a temporary men's dormitory named
“Bright Angel’’ was converted into the first University hos
pital.
A note sent to the State Collegian (forerunner of the
Daily Collegian) on May 9, 1907, described the new hospital
as having a very "sanitary atmo
sphere.”
The first patient entered the
hospital with the “sanitary atmo
sphere” on May 2, 1907. Clarence
Pennell, freshman in chemistry,
was moved to the hospital from
the fourth floor of McAllister Halli
because he had symptoms of
pneumonia.
In 1915 the hospital was moved
to .Beecher House and on Feb. 15,
1915, the first University Health
Service was established.
The scarlet fever epidemic of
1912 began a movement for a new
hospital. $5OOO was raised by sub
scription for a new building, but
the groundbreaking was deferred
in 1920 because President Sparks
felt $15,000 was needed.
The movement for a new hos
pital died out and nothing was
done until the Potato Growers
Association of Pennsylvania
raised a substantial part of the
funds.
Construction on the new hos
pital was begun in 1928 imme
diately after Recreation Build
ing was erected. In January
1929, the center section of the
present Ritenour Hospital was
opened and dedicated at a con
vention of the Potato Growers
Association.
When the plans for the hospital
were drawn up, provisions were
made for the addition of two
wings to the hospital when en
rollment at the University grew.
Plans for the building included
an operating room for minor sur
gery and a scrub room.
The college enrollment in 1929
was 7186.
The General State Authority,
which handles all appropriations
for state buildings, approved the
plans for the addition of two
wings to the Ritenour Hospital
on Dec. 17, 1953.
The two wings, costing $827,000,
were completed in 1956. The dis.-
pensary, located in the west wing,
opened in January 1956 and the
