Baby John and Miss Benjamin, Farmington State Teachers College, 1950
Item 70583 info
Mantor Library at UMF
One amusing account written by a cottage student in 1950 tells of the arrival of baby John (just two month old at the time), brought from Bangor by longtime Home Economics program director Mabel Hastie and Cottage Director Evelyn Benjamin.
Miss Hastie was invited to dinner, and "due to some mishap in the kitchen, John's milk was served as a beverage! At about nine o'clock that evening, Miss Benjamin was preparing to feed him and lo - no baby formula! The formula had traveled from Bangor in an ordinary milk bottle and upon arriving in Farmington it found its way to our refrigerator among many other ordinary looking bottles. It was labeled, but no one saw the label!"
