URBAN TO MISS NORENE TURNER, for twenty-one years the supervisor of Michael Reese operating rooms, inspiring instructor of surgical technique, and always a symbol to the students who worlced under her supervision of the ideals toward which we strive, perfection in our chosen field of nursing. Miss Turner enrolled in our School of Nursing in January, 1913, shortly after her graduation from high school in Marquette, Michigan. Cn the day she received her diploma, January QQ, 'l9'l6, she accepted the position of assistant supervisor of the operating rooms. Four years later she became supervisor, When the new operating rooms were planned, her advice was sought and followed. l-ler development of operating room procedures has made Michael Reese technique generally regarded as one ofthe most efficient and safe techniques practiced anywhere, We, the students in whom she was so earnestly interested, and her colleagues on the medical and nursing staff miss her inspiring leadership, her intel- ligence, unselfishness, and high standards of integrity. T0 MAURlCE l.. R0'l'f'lSCl'llLD, Chairman of the School of Nursing Committee for two decades. It was with deep regret that we learned of his passing on April Q3, 1941. Cn many occasions since that day, we have remembered him and missed his presence. As diplomas were presented, corsages pinned on, during speeches at the Graduation Dinner, his friendly generous spirit seemed still with us at these important moments which he so enjoyed sharing with us. Active in business, and in countless matters of public and philanthropic interest, he was always thinking of some way to show his interest in our School. Rothschild Auditorium and our lovely swimming pool were given to us by Mr. Rothschild. We remember him as a friendly, sympathetic person who wished others to live as fully and happily as him- self. Truly he was called, the nurses' friend .
