Edinboro College Warren Campus to Receive WSH Land
Warren State Hospital trustees recommended transferring a 205 acre geriatric farm complex on Route 62 north of Warren to Edinboro State College for a new Warren Campus. The plan, awaiting state welfare approval, would provide space for a two year nurses training program and relieve cramped facilities. The first class could begin in September 1969 with internships later.
