Illinois Institute of Technology was formed by a consolidation of. Arm?ur Institute of Technology and Lewis Institute in June, 1940. This merger established ~~ Ch1ca~o a technological institute that would provide superior educational and technolog1cal serviCes to the students and industries of the vast Midwest area.

Jean~e ' s interest in travel, and especially in public service, has combined to inspire her to devote a great deal of her volunteer time and endeavor to the Travelers Aid Society of San Francisco. The Travelers Aid ·Society of San Fran­ cisco, organized in 1912 as a Community Chest function, is one of 107 city agencies of the National Travelers Aid Society. The San Francisco unit, like the other widespread units, is staffed by volunteers. It has offices in the Greyhound Bus Terminal and in the Ferry Building (Southern Pacific Railroad), to provide information and direction service to travelers. The service offered by the Society is as varied as the confusions of people who travel, After several yeai'S as a volunteer in the San such as assisting newly arrived visitors in Francisco Travelers Aid Society program, Jeamze composing telegrams ; assisting them in locat­ McConeghy, A, is ttow directitzg the U.S.O.­ ing relatives and friends; answering ques­ Travelers Aid Service in San Francisco. tions about the City itself and transporta­ tion-where to gcr-where, to get something volunteers to use in handling the varied ques­ and how to get.there; and providing planned tions and problems of the bewildered traveler tours, in paper form, to enable tourists to see and eager tourist. the City without a guide.

Knowhow for raising money can probably be attributed to some of her past posts. She was one of the founders of the Genessee Craftman' s Guild which produced scarce handmade articles immediately after World War II. During the war she was in charge of recruiting women for war work at the Gen­ eral Railway Signal company. A university of Rochester graduate in the class of 1925 (she had transferred to Roch­ ester after two years at !\·fiddle bury) she served as president of the Alumnre Associa­ tion in 1941-42.
