Quote:<\/b> With the opening of Davidson’s new $25,000 Infirmary the first
\nstep toward the building of the ideal Davidson campus has been completed. This
\nbeautiful brick structure stands on the Concord Road just off the Charlotte
\nhighway facing the Martin Chemical Laboratory. It is built in the shape of a
\n“T,” and its interior houses every modern convenience desirable.
\nUpon entering downstairs, a visitor finds a waiting-room equipped with
\nbrown-upholstered chromium furniture in a distinctly modernistic note. To the
\nleft of this waiting-room is Dr. J.W. MacConnell’s office. In the back hall
\nMrs.Ivring Johnston, the Infirmary nurse, has her headquarters which are
\neasily accessible to the ward and two private rooms for patients which branch
\noff of the hall. This down-stairs ward will take care of about six patients,
\nand immediately behind it, in the very foot of the “T,” is the
\nsolarium, which is equipped with comfortable rolling chairs and a cabinet
\nradio. “New Infirmary Now Open for Patients.” Davidsonian. 12
