Copyright by ANNIE WHITE Editor-in-Chief INA NEWTON Business Manager FOREWORD ln passing, we merely wish to say that this small annual does not, could not, hold one-tenth of all the joys and sorrows which we have shared during the past three years. We have learned, in a minor way, to assuage suffering and to enliven spirits by a kind word and a gentle hand. Thus we write Hnish to this chapter in our lives, knowing that we have each and every'one carried her message to Garcia, by dedicating this three years to mankind. - 'eww i .Q ..

VERONA GORNTO NOLA WILLIS MATTIE I-IARRIss U SCIENCE MAQ7' Ke CLASS HISTORY Days, months and years are gliding Like mystic dreams away, And down life's varied pathway Their lights and shadows play. Time is fleeting! It seems but yesterday that we were standing in the front hall of the Nurses' I-Iome looking expectantly from one to the other and wait- ing to be shown to our rooms. Our class is in two sections. One group started in February with hfteen students. The other group started in September with twenty-four students. Of these, twenty-eight completed the three years to become candidates for the coveted title of Registered Nurse. The two sections have been so closely united, socially as well as scholastically, that we truly seem one class. We entered training knowing not exactly what was expected of us, novices, but each with a mind to learn and a spirit to work. At class we learned to make mitered corners and to give Mrs Chase a good massage or whatever she pre- ferred. On the wards we scurried hither and yon and tackled new tasks, feign- ing a bravery which we did not always feel. Anatomy and The Principles and Practice of Nursing took their share of attention too. Exams came and general tachycardia prevailed. Yet apprehension somewhat subsided as we started those dreaded tasks. Then came capping, No one can forget the thrill of hrst wearing her cap--emblem of all that nursing means! And with the cap came realization that we had only begun to learn those things which would make of each of us a capable and a good nurse. Through- out the ensuing years more and more we have come to know that we must ever grow, that the nursing profession is ever advancing. We must realize that we, as a part of so great a group, must advance with it and hold to those ideals which will keep our work the highest of callings. The Class of '39 is the largest class to graduate from the Nursing School of james Walker Memorial Hospital. Its real history lies in the advancement of the individual members and in the lives of those patients with whom they have come in contact. May we through the years hold fast to our motto- We finish to begin! -ALIENE BLAIR SwrNsoN, Class Historian. 0 SKILL 0 SPIRIT 0 ff? SCIENCE 9 z5fw7' fe 0 SCIENCE 0 S o SPIRIT 0 CLASS PROPHECY Yesterday evening, as I sat looking out my third-story window, enjoying the beauty of the tree-tops of Wilmington, a strange thing happened to me. The window-panes suddenly began to change and I thought surely I was having an optical illusion, until I recognized the words of Science-Skill-Spirit making up the triangle for the 1939 class motto. As I gazed into the triangle I saw a prominent young doctor and his wife managing an efficient aeroplane ambulance service. She was none other than our own Miss Eudy. He was vaguely familiar, too. This picture floated away as in a vapor, and there came into view another. Two Supervisors came walking down the steps of a well-known hospital in Washington, D. C. They finally came near enough that I recognized Miss Henry and Miss Holladay. A beautiful college then filled the space and I recognized it as being Flora McDonald. A nurse in white stepped lively across the campus. Miss Knight had returned to her Alma Mater as College Nurse. In a moment the triangle surrounded a Public Health Nurse, and I recog- nized Miss Mallard as the nurse driving a new Plymouth coupe on her way to a baby clinic. The strains of beautiful music greeted me next, and the tropical splendor of Hawaii drifted before me. The Army Hospital there next came in sight and I knew Miss Lockhart's dream of army nursing had come true--a dream that originated at Fort Bragg during her early student days. I next recognized a little white cottage near Wilmington, and Miss Melvin was straightening a cozy living-room as a radio softly played. She was wearing a very pretty flowered house-dress as she made preparations for her husband's return from the office. Finally, I saw the sweet little town of Wallace, and our own Miss Robinson was delightfully busy with all the nursing she could find time to do. I remem- bered that she loved the people of Wallace, but not more than they loved her. Bedford College in London then became clear, and I saw Miss Stephenson discussing nursing with her roommate from Sweden. I could not help but hope that she would be returning to the U. S. A. soon. . It was the docks in New Yorknthat next greeted me, and, Miss Swinson was waving 'farewell as she sailed for Labrador. Her dream of being' in the Grenhel Mission Hospital was becoming a reality. I then heard the rhythm of the tom-toms from darkest Africa, and I recog- nized our little Avery girls as the beloved missionaries of that village. Even the tropical sun had not marred their beautiful complexions. The next scene was so familiar. Market Street here in Wilmington and the hurrying feet of nurses-james Walker bound. Miss Benson I recognized as one of a smiling, happy group. V The sudden drone of aeroplane motors could be heard next, and I saw a transport plane taxi up the runway of the airport. The petite little stewardess smiled as she stepped from the plane-she was none other than Miss Boone. It was the dreamy Caribbean Sea that next came into view, and a beautiful yacht came gliding into the harbor. It was Miss Brown and her millionaire husband, and she was just as sweet and pretty as ever. 0 SCIENCE 0 S SPIRIT 0 Calling Miss Ezzelll Calling Miss Ezzelll was the next sound I heard. I saw a Supervisor with an attractive dignihed air answer the call at a very modern hospital desk. It was no more than l expected, for I remembered well her pleasing attitude of student days. .I was being introduced to the head of the Red Cross Nursing Service in Wilmington, when behold it was Miss Farlow. With her good executive ability she was having great success. Miss Fisher came next as Chief Nurse in a Government hospital near her home. She seemed to be following in the footsteps of her aunt, who gave service overseas during the World War. As the scene cleared I saw Miss Gurganus, in cap and gown, marching across the stage at the University of North Carolina. She was getting her degree in higher nursing education. Again a hospital scene appeared, and I saw Miss Hamilton as Pediatric Supervisor in the new hospital in Charlotte. She seemed to love the children as much as they loved her. Europef-and I recognized Miss Kidd, with her husband, now a prominent young pediatrician, as two of the students of the University in Vienna. Their faces brought back memories of james Walker. As the next picture cleared l saw Miss Newton as the Nursing Arts Instructor at Duke University. She still possessed her unspoiled beauty and loveliness of manner. New York City-and I saw Miss Sebrell and Miss White doing some marvelous work in Social Service, with headquarters in the House on Henry Street. This scene passed, and a most attractive bungalow appeared. The lawn was fresh and green. In the 'flower garden I recognized Miss Stokley cutting flowers for a party she was giving that evening. A tall handsome man carried the basket for the flowers, and I thought I recognized him as one of the frequent visitors at the Nurses' Home in former years. Next the sunny clime of Southern California, and I saw Miss Veasey as Superintendent of a large hospital. Emciency and earnestness made her so suitable for the position. The scene then changed to a rainy day in jones County, North Carolina, and I recognized Miss Yates as the Public Health Nurse. Driving over muddy roads had not affected her cheerful disposition nor marred her happy smile. I heard the familiar clang of an elevator and the click, click of a stretcher wheel as I saw Miss Yount as the ehicient Assistant Surgical Nurse to a promi- nent urologist in Bellevue. Her beautiful red hair looked so pretty with her immaculate white uniform. Things began to look dim. Finally, everybody had gone and I was left alone. I gazed, hoping to see further into the future of this class, but there was nothing left but space, surrounded by the outline of the triangle. As I was thinking of our three years together at james Walker, there was nothing but the window-pane through which l looked out over the tree-tops of Wilmington. The sun had gone down and a purple mist hovered over the scene. I turned back to my room, which was growing dark, I switched on the electric light and sat down to my desk to grade papers for another class.

We step upon the threshold And in our hearts honest aims unfold, Together we have worked to cheer some souls. Could three years make one realize just how much it means To cool a fevered brow, To place a pillow where it seems It might aid sleep and dreams, To wet some parched lips, To dim a starry light, To place a precious flower Where the eye might catch the sight. All this-and more to us has meant Our three years spent together, An understanding more intent Of others and each other. Each one her own way will go And Gnd her work to do, We'll leave the place we've learned to love, Our Alma Mater true. And now one prayer we pray, ln life-higher aims each day Will guide us on. -LILLIAN DUNN SEBRELL SCIENCE 0 S SPIRIT o HISTORY OF HOSPITAL ln the year of 1902, the james Walker Memorial Hospital was organized. The building was built and equipped by Mr. james Walker, a native of Scotland. He presented it to the City of Wilmington and New Hanover County with the following provisions: That the management would forever remain free from political controlg that the city and county would appropriate sufficient sums of money for the care of indigent sick and injured of said city and county. The W. W. Lane Hospital, established in 1875, and the City Hospital, founded in 1881, were predecessors of the james Walker Memorial Hospital. Mr. Walker was a philanthropist and a genuine benefactor, whose 1ife's work may be summed up as, After a frugal and industrious life, he left to the afllicted and suffering a lasting memorial of his beneticence in yonder hospital which bears his honored name, -the inscription found on his monument in Gakdale Cemetery. That original building, completely furnished for fifty patients, still stands and is a part of the hospital. A Board of Managers was appointed, three by Mr. Walker, three members from the county and three members from the city. Of this group, one member, Mr. William H. Sprunt, still remains on the Board. The hrst Superintendent was Dr. Thomas R. Little. As the years have passed, additions to this building have been made. A ward, consisting of thirty-five beds, was built for the colored patients. This wing also has in it the dispensary, and until 1921 the second floor was the nurses' quarters. This addition was the donation of Mr. W. H. Sprunt, who saw and realized the need for' such a division for the colored people of Wilmington and New Hanover County. ln 1915, Mr. Samuel Bear gave as a donation the contagious ward, named the Bear Building. The third addition made to james Walker Memorial was in 1917, the Marion Sprunt Annex, a maternity and children's ward of thirty-three beds. Money for this addition was 'furnished by Dr. james Sprunt in memoriam to his daughter, Marion, whose name it bears. A new wing was added to the hospital in 1937, which increased the capacity of the hospital to one hundred and eighty-eight beds. The nurses' quarters over the colored ward became too crowded and the need for a separate home was realized. At this time the City of Wilmington desired to erect a permanent memorial to Dr. A. D. McClure, of St. Andrews Presby- terian Church. The nursing school was close to the heart of Dr. McClure, so the City of Wilmington donated, in 1921, 2l5100,000.00 as a memorial to be used to build a modern nurses' home to accommodate fifty nurses. ln 1926, the number of nurses had so increased that the home had to be enlarged. ln 1937, the capacity of the home was increased again by the addition of a fourth story. This makes the home able to accommodate one hundred and thirteen nurses. On February 5, 1903, a charter was granted james Walker Memorial Hos- pital to organize and 1naintain a School of Nursing. The Hrst Superintendent was Miss Lillie Heller CMrs. Thomas R. Littlej. The hrst class was composed of two students, Miss Florence Hayes CQMrs. Morris Caldwellj and Miss Alberta Robinson. Mrs, Caldwell, who is still connected with james Walker Memorial, has the distinction of being the first person to obtain a certificate of registration issued to a graduate nurse trained in a North Carolina school. She registered in New Hanover County, july 1, 1903. The second class was made up of three 0 SCIENCE 0 SKI MAQG7' Ze students, and each year the number has increased until in 1939 twenty-eight were graduated. This was the largest class. The first students were required to spend two years in training. The time spent on duty during the day was twelve hours. One and one-half hours were spent off duty for recreation. The classwork consisted of lectures by the visiting doctors, the Superintendent, the Directress of Nurses and the Dietitian. Classes were held each night during the Winter months. The time required in training during the present time is three yearsg an average of thirteen hundred hours is spent in the classroom. The teaching stafT is composed of the staff doctors and nurses. james Walker Memorial Nursing School is accredited and one of the largest Nursing Schools in North Carolina The total number of graduates from this school since 1902 is three hundred and seventy-seven. These graduates may be found in the diiferent branches of nursing in all the States in the Union and Alaska. There were at the beginning of this school year ninety-seven enrolled in the Nursing School. Strong attempt is made each year to follow the Cur- riculum Guide for the Schools of Nursing recommended by the National League of Nursing Education. Compiled by Louise YOUNT. LL 0 SPIRIT 0 1f5zG7'!e 0 SCIENCE 0 SKILL 0 SPIRIT 0 ADDRESS TO GRADLIATING CLASS BY Lewis E. JARRETT, M.D., F. A. C. I-l.A., Richmond, Va. The many thousands of young women and men who during the next few weeks are receiving diplomas from institutions of learning are receiving a lot of good advice in baccalaureate sermons and commencement addresses and from a multitude of friends. Among the sentiments they may wisely take to heart is one from the witty aphorisms of the late Dr. -I. Chalmers Da Costa: Each one of us, however old, is still an undergraduate in the school of ex- perience, When a man thinks he has graduated, he becomes a public menace. Young Friends, l congratulate you most heartily. You are now regularly enlisted in an heroic army which is giving ceaseless and magnificant battle on behalf of suffering humanity. Your cause is a noble one. If it were possible to picture in one vast panorama all the deeds of a single day of those who devote their lives to hghting disease, mankind would, l believe, be thrilled by an emotion far more enduring than that which responds to the battle of destruc- tion. And to the thoughtful mind, how much more impressive-how innnitely more grand in all the elements of true grandeur-is the silent and sleepless contest to save human life, than the mad and cruel struggle to destroy it. Be not discouraged that your coming and going shall not be heralded by the blare of trumpets or the booming of cannon, but deep in the heart of the world there is growing a profound reverence for the thing you are doing. The two chief qualities which seem to me essential to your future usefulness must impress the casual thinker as being somewhat antagonistic to each other. I refer to alertness and patience. Alertness, which implies a high state of mental activity, and patience, which implies a high state of mental restraint. To some extent they represent the contrasting principles of motion and rest, and yet each of you must possess them both in constant perfection. That you shall be ever alert, noting at once each subtle ebb and flow in the vital tide, and instantly ready to meet the new condition, that your eyes and ears shall be keen to recognize changes so slight and fleeting that to the un- skilled person they are not changes at allg that you must be minutely faithful, and yet quick in expedience when new crises arise. And yet, side by side with this spirit of aggressive guardianship, you must possess an invulnerable patience, a patience which shall be all-enduring. So, were it mine to write the guiding maxim of your lives it would read: ln the service of Humanity, eternal Vigilance and Patience without end. You are fortunate in graduating from a school of nursing of a hospital that has played such an important role in the education of nurses. Your State is the first in this country to have an act regulating the registration of nurses. Your hospital has the distinction of having among its many other accomplish- ments the credit of graduating the first native-born graduate registered nurse in this country. Your class also has the unique distinction of being the largest to ever graduate from james Walker Memorial Hospital since its founding, thirty-seven years ago. Such a heritage should be a real item in your attitude towards your profession and towards the institution that has meant so much to you so far and as you will soon discover will mean so much to you in your future activities in your chosen profession. MQG7' le SCIENCE 0 is SPIRIT 0 Today about one-half of the nursing group is engaged in either the so-called institutional or public health held, both of which are developing rapidly and are intensely interesting, leaving however, the other half struggling to earn a living at Hprivate duty, which, apparently unaware of our changing social order, has remained as it was twenty-Hve years ago, an entirely unorganized, unsupervised endeavor, offering little opportunity for professional advancement and diminishing opportunity for steady work. The profession of nursing offers promise of a real future to the well-qualihed. capable person and less and less chance to the poorly equipped. Probably no other profession or occupation presents so wide a field as does modern nurs- ing. The term nursing, originally embracing little but personal service to the sick, now includes an increasing number of public and social activities. lt may mean executive or educational work, inspection or organization of the work of others. The number of administrative or teaching positions has increased markedly. The demand for nurses with special training far exceeds the supply, and some of the great social movements are likely to proceed slowly because of this fact. D For the nurse who is awake there are opportunities on every hand to lead a happy and useful life. Women who have the ability to handle numbers of people rind institutional and organizing positions waiting. Instructors of all grades are always in demand. The woman who has a well-developed social consciousness finds a challenge in the great field of public health nursing. Those who have scientific minds Hnd their chance, and those who prefer to work with their hands see occasions more various than ever before. To be a nurse, to enter this field of public service, demands the best you have to give. First of all, you must like people, for nursing, no matter where it is practiced or how it may be organized, deals and always will deal with people. Its whole reason for being is people-from birth to death the panorama of life spreads itself before the nurse in need of her teaching and care. Unless she is sure that she prefers to work with people rather than with things, she should not enter nursing. This is a much more important consideration than is at first apparent, and many of the failures in nursing are due to lack of recognition of it. A genuine, friendly interest in people as such, and a sense of humor that delights in their vagaries are the hrst essentials for any good nurse, and no amount of education will compensate for their lack. Second only to the love of people must come a love for nursing itself-of satisfaction and happiness gained from giving of nursing care. Again, some of our worst failures are due to the fact that many nurses do not like to nurse, and see the profession not as an opportunity for service, but only as a means of earning a livelihood. lt is not hard to guess the third requirement. The only way to secure promise of steady work in any field today is to be better prepared than the average person with whom you will have to compete. Every physician wants nurses who care for his patients to be of nne character and attractive person- alityg women of integrity, of good judgment, of devotion to detailg of in- telligence and keen perception, who call him at once when necessaryg who are able to manage the patient and family and not worry him when not necessary. l-le wants nurses who know how to lTlZ1lC6 patients comfortable and keep them contented, and thus assist in hastening the recovery of his patients. 0 SCIENCE 0 SKIL,L 0 SPIR f'7iLicLr1,qfe Standards of preparation predicate standards of performance, and conversely, standards of performance reflect preparation. The efforts of nurses to establish excellence in performance and protect the public in its selection of nurses by securing minimum standards of practice provided by legal enactment, has been a long and discouraging struggle. I should like to formulate a kind of definition of nursing education. Nursing education is the development of the capacity of administering to the comfort and welfare of the patient, sympathetically, understandingly and thoughtfully. l have not said a word about science in this definition, but l do not feel that it is necessary, for it would not be possible for a nurse to minister understand- ingly and thoughtfully without a thorough scientific preparation. l am quite sure that all of the troubles and most of the successes which come in nursing service are related unmistakably to scientific understanding and thoughtfulness on the part of the nurse. Equally important is the quality of sympathy. For- tunately, this is inherent in woman. We need only to bring it out and give it a scientific background. One question l have often asked myself with refer- ence to the development of helpful qualities in a nurse is: Does the present system of nurse education tend to stifle the very qualities which are most neces- sary to good nursing? ls the student nurse surrounded by so many rules and regulations, most of which are negative in character, that she is concerned largely with what not to do rather than with what to do? One other feature of nursing education which will require considerable thought is the separation of nursing education and nursing service in the hospital. The object of the former is the education of the nurse, while that of the latter is the care of the patient. Though the two have certain objectives in common, nursing edu- cation cannot be successful where the nursing service of the hospital is entirely dependent upon the school of nursing for the care of the patients. At the risk of seeming old-fashioned, I am going to make a plea for a greater emphasis on the human qualities in nursing. l am doing this, not because they are lacking, but because the public Wants the human touch in greater abundance. Your profession has always stood on a very high pedestal in my heart, Your profession is indeed a high calling. And we, as individuals, have to step very high in order to surmount the obstacles which our own human frailties raise for us. Almost invariably when a nurse is criticised, it is for a seeming lack of the human qualities, such as gentleness, sympathy or understanding. Very rarely have l heard a nurse criticised for poor technique or lack of skill. But l have at times heard it said that one was hard, or dis-1 interested, or needlessly abrupt, or careless, or that she lacked understanding or even sympathy. These things distress meg for l know that no woman chooses the profession of nursing who is not Hlled with an over-abundance of sympathy. Otherwise, she would go into the millinery business, or into banking, or into the movies, where there is more profit. Whether these criticisms were ever merited or not, l do not know, but l like to feel that they were not. I believe that the average nurse is judged primarily by her human qualities. Whether she nurses the sick, or is an instructor or an executive, her ability is usually taken as a matter of course. l-ler diploma and even her degrees are taken for granted. ln the mind of the public she is vaguely supposed to have these or she would not be a professional nurse. For we must remember that the average patient knows very little about skill, or technique or conscientious practice-except where it dehnitely affects his comfort. l-le has no concept of how absolutely necessary these are in conserving a patient's strength. We know I T 0 507' fe SCIENCE 0 S SPIRIT o how vital are accuracy and conscientious practice in the administration of drugs and treatments, but the patient is not aware of it. This is just why he is so often willing to have an untrained person care for him-to save a few dollarsg a kind motherly woman who is not afraid of work, one who is willing to come for less than those so-called trained women. What the patient cares about is whether his nurse is kind, or human or understanding. This puts it in a nutshell for us. lf the nurse fails in tact, or seems dis- interested, she may have all the skill and ability in the world, but she is a poor nurse in the eyes of her patient. lf she seems hurried or is unconsciously rough, or if she avoids doing little things, instead of doing more than is re- quired, she is a poor nurse. lf she talks too much, or if she seems more interested in her own affairs than in those of her patient, she is a poor nurse. On such little things does the success of her long years of preparation stand or fall. ln the last few years, our house of nursing has been furnished with many strange and wonderful things. These have to do with new diseases, new treat- ments and new methods of approach. But in bringing so many new furnishings into our house, we must take care that we do not lose or discard any of the old and precious essentials. Our public wants gentleness, thought and under- standingg and surely these need never be spared. lt is for these, and for all those other human qualities that l make a plea. ln theory as well as in prac- ftice the physician and the nurse constitute a team that can work well only with understanding on both sides of the partnership. However, the primary job of the nurse, is the supporting and upholding of the physician. The nurse is interested in preventive medicine and, if she will, she can help to promote the use of the practitioner's preventive medical services and so not only improve her relationships with the doctor, but aid in opening up an important held of medicine. She can, as she goes here and there, advocate health examinations, encourage early diagnosis of incipient disease, promote immunizations, recommend pre-natal medical service, pre-school ex- aminations and correction of defects. Then, too, the nurse can guard against certain tendencies that many times antagonize the physician and cause discord instead of harmony. These tendencies are contrary to both medical ethics and nursing ethics, and we may hope that they have disappeared entirely now, but they have been known to occur in the past and should be rigidly guarded against in the future. l mention among these such simple errors as the making of diagnoses, the prescribing and administration of therepeutic measures beyond the medically approved standing orders, contradicting medical advice, playing medical favorites, referring patients to specific physicians, and recommending a change of physicians. Nurses are often strongly tempted to make some of these errors, but should realize that both medicine and nursing are best served by sticking to strict ethical practice. There was a psychiatrist who was talking to a group of feeble-minded people in an institution one day, and he couldn't hold their attention fl am not a psychiatristj. To try to wake up some of the people in the back of the house he yelled out-at the top of his voice: Why are we all here? Why are we all here? One of the inmates sort of woke up, struggled to his feet, and said: l'll tell you why we are all here, we are all here because we aren't all there. ' l don't apply that to this group at all, but l do say this as one of you, that if we don't cooperate and federate against the Socialization of Medicine and Nurs- ing, maybe that story might have some significance. 7'Ke SCIENCE 0 S SPIRIT 0 To You Future Nurses: You are living in a privileged period of your life. It is the period of your mental and spiritual growth and expansion. You must have a vital interest in life to be truly happy. Not absorption but service only will give satisfaction to the aims of your life. You need the proper stimulus to which your whole inner life can respond, and this is: Where can you find a project large enough, broad enough, worthy enough, to which you can relate your whole life and into which you can submerge yourself completely? How can you MAKE YOUR LIFE PURPOSEFUL? HOW CAN YOU MAKE YOUR LIFE COUNT? Everything depends upon your sense of values. What appeals most? Money or womanhood? Ease or labor? Comfort or character? The flappant or the heroic? Self or service? You have been diligent, faithful students. Your presence here has been proof of that, and the high calling of service is upon you. You as a class are under bond: First-To your own future. If you cease disciplinary studies now, you stop where scholars begin-join the ranks of mediocrity, htted in measure for the smaller demands of a circumscribed life. Second-You are under bond to human society. That your advantages have been superior to most among whom you will live, puts you Linder bond to them. Your years in training entitle you to the diploma which you are about to receive and to furnish to each of you the one big opportunity to prepare for future leadership. Your school days are ended. For a long time you have been looking forward to this important occasion, and at length it has arrived, with all of its gladness, coupled, as you now realize, with its sense also of sadness, as you bid farewell to the schoolrooms, classmates and the searching gaze of your superiors. But to these last-named, you owe much more than you now realize. You can never repay them for their patient training, in terms of money, or even in words of appreciation. Their greatest reward will be in the conscious- ness that their work has really been appreciated, and this can most readily be shown by the life which you now live. Graduates, you are to be congratulated, not so much upon your attainment, as upon your possibilities. The riches of earth and heaven are yours for the taking. Enter learlessly, but cautiously, the doors which now swing open to admit you. You have already learned a few things, there is yet much more to be learned. Though you forget all else that l have said here, remember this: You are constructing the building in which you are to live. Build it deep and strong: being content with nothing short of the very best. ln this way only you will find that you are building upon the solid rock. On a bronze tablet bearing the name of Robert E. Lee, in the I-lall of Fame at the University I-leights, New York City, there is this inscriptiong it is good for your life motto: Duty, then, is the sublimest word in our language, Do your duty in all things, You can't do rnoreg You should never wish to do less. 0 SCIENCE 0 S SPIRIT o uflumfzae 1903 MISS FLORENCE HAYES CMTS.
