Dean Meredith's Family Works at Metzger Hall

Date
January 22, 1920

In her letter to President Morgan dated January 22, 1920, Dean Meredith discusses the running of the household at Metzger Hall. According to Meredith, in order to run the Hall, "two cooks, two house maids, two waitresses, a dishwasher, and George [a janitor]" are needed. The Dean of Women is concerned that the current staff, hired by Sarah K. Ege (the "Lady in charge of Metzger College"), are stealing from the college. Moreover, she argues that they do not do their jobs. Consequently, Meredith claims that her father, mother, and daughter who live with her on college grounds do most of the work in order to earn their board.
