Mrs. Irene Claghorn lives ietly in retirement at 900 Gil- rtst, College Station, in a ise provided by former stu- its. A car wreck ended her year nursing career in 1956. [t was in 1918 that Mrs. Clag- rn came to Aggieland as a iptain in the Army Nurses orps. A siege of influenza had t the campus and Bizzell Hall, en the hospital, was filled to rerflowing. ‘ We didn’t know much about flu in those days,” she said. \ number of Aggies died from Right after I got here, I was iked to stay with some patients no were dying.

Bizzell, president of the college. He asked me to run the hospital for at least a year. After a year, they couldn’t run me off. “The Aggies helped me night and day during the flu epidemic,” Mrs. Claghorn continued. Some of them dropped out of school to help. We had about 300 patients in a hospital intended for eight beds in two wards. We even had planks across the basement to accommodate more boys.” It was Herschel Burgess, now president of a savings and loan firm in College Station, who tag ged Mrs. Claghorn as “Mom” in the late 1920’s. “Herschel and his roommate, Willie Bartlett (now living in New Orleans) were my problem children. I never knew what they would do next. I took care of Herschel when he got hurt playing football. Every boy in school started calling me Mom after that.” “Mom” made trips with the Aggie football team during the years before trainers came into vogue. She remembers an in cident when D. X. Bible was coach. “D. X. called me one day to say one of his football players had quit the team and was prob ably on his way over to see me,” she said. “Sure enough, the boy walked in a minute later. I gave him a good talking to and he rejoined the team. And he did become a good player.” Memories of former students still flash back readily for Mrs. Claghorn. “Years ago, they used to ‘air Haupt Appointed To CIGRE Group Professor Lewis M. Haupt Jr., has been appointed a member of the advisor group of CIGRE (Committee International Gener al Reseaux Electric) No. 4. The international committee of 15 members works to improve and standardize protection of high voltage transmission gener ation systems. The advisor group of eight members, joined by Haupt, ad vises U. S. Representative H. R. Stewart of Boston, Mass. Haupt, member of the A&M faculty since 1930, replaced Dr. W. A. Lewis of the Illinois Insti tute of Technology on the com mittee. The professor of electrical en gineering has been chairman of the Protective Relay Conference at A&M since 1947. He super vises operation of the A&M Re search Foundation’s AC analog computer. Haupt has authored 25 techni cal articles since 1950 and is list ed in eight professional organiza tions, American Men of Science and Who’s Who in Engineering, Engineering Education, Ameri can Education and the South west. out’ the freshmen,” she said. “They put them out of the dorm on Saturdays and told ’em not to come back until Sunday night. I’d hide some of the asthmatics and boys who had been sick.” A Battalion editor who had written a scathing editorial about the hospital suffered a badly cut foot in a printing press accident. “We sewed on him for hours,” Mom said. “As he recuperated, I took him to class in my car. Later, he asked me if I knew he was the one who had written the article. When I said ‘yes’, he said he didn’t know how we could be so good to him.” I told him everybody makes mistakes. Lat er, he wrote an article praising me and the hospital. “I remember lots of Aggies,” Mom continued. “T h e re was “Hungry’ Jones, a track man who could eat more than anybody. He was one of the boys who dropped out of school and helped care for the flu patients.” Mom’s good deeds for the Ag gies began being repaid when she was seriously injured in a 1956 car wreck near Dallas. “When I came to after hours in the operating room, Dr. Davis told me Aggies had jammed the halls all day,” she recalled. “The Aggies donated 36 pints of blood for me.” Mrs. Claghorn told of a later comment by the doctor: “Mom, those Ags are better than 100 per cent. I’ve never seen such loyalty. Although I’m a Texas graduate, I’m going to send my brother-in-law to A&M.” Mom received a barrel of cables and telegrams from Ag gies while she was hospitalized. Two Houston area students, now dentists, Harry and Jack Blank- field, started a fund to buy her a house. Other Aggies pitched in and the drive was soon complete. The Brazos County A&M Club raised funds to buy her furniture. The Aggies purposely bought a house close to the campus so they could visit her easily. Mrs. Claghorn has 13 albums of clippings and mementos about the Aggies. She plans to write a book someday and it would be no surprise if it is titled: “I’ll Never Forget the Aggies.” Pinkie Says . . . Texas A&M hosted 67,545 vis itors during 1965, estimates Of ficial Greeter P. L. (Pinkie) Downs Jr. “The total for the year is above the average for the past 16 years and seven months,” Downs noted. “We averaged about 60,000 visitors a year dur ing that time.” Totals do not include fans at athletic events on campus. December was a light month for visitors because of Christmas holidays. Downs said 1,385 per sons visited the campus. Downs estimates more than 20 different groups visit A&M each month to attend short courses, conferences, class reunions and other scheduled meetings. He also estimated 1,014,221 visitors spent $21,298,641 in the community since June 1, 1949. CoUcoefflcwW Fidelity Union Life Building Dallas, Texas College Master...
