Dick's House Change

Miss Lois DUNN has resigned as Administrator of Dick's House, the college infirmary. She was succeeded on April 1 by Miss Ruth Moser, formerly the Assistant Administrator.

Miss Dunn, who left Hanover for medical work in Boston, was graduated from Wellesley College and the Yale School of Nursing, and spent several years as a nurse in New York hospitals before coming to Dartmouth in 1947. Hundreds of Dartmouth students had the benefit of her kind ministrations while they were ill in Dick's House.

Miss Moser is a graduate of the Mary Hitchcock School of Nursing and became Head Nurse at Dick's House after several years of private nursing in New York. She has also spent four summers in volunteer nursing with the Grenfell Mission in Labrador, which was started by Sir Wilfred Grenfell for the fishing folk on the coast and the outlying islands.

Miss Dunn's departure makes the second well-known and respected woman staff member lost to the College this year. Mrs. Margaret Broderick, hostess of Dartmouth House for fourteen years, retired earlier this winter because of poor health. When Mrs. Broderick came to Dartmouth in 1943 all the fraternity houses had been closed because of the number of service men at the College, and she became hostess at the Casque and Gauntlet House which the College had rented as a place for servicemen to entertain their families and dates. After the war, she moved to Dartmouth House in College Hall in the hostess position she had created, and soon became a popular campus personality. She had been in poor health for about a year before resigning.

By way of appreciation for her long service to Dartmouth students, the Undergraduate Council gave Mrs. Broderick a silver stamp box with the inscription, "Mrs. B__ from her boys, 1958."

Mrs. Elmer Lampe and Mrs. Elliot Noyes have assumed the hostess duties at Dartmouth House for the remainder of the year.
