Marion H. Wells Directoress Nursing The School of Nursing, connected with the Hospital of the Good Shepherd, was organized in 1882 and in May 1915 became a depart- ment of Syracuse University. The University Hospital, organized in 1873, is one of the older, well-established hospitals of the country. The teaching in the School of Nursing is done by doctors con- nected with the Medical School and by two well qualified nurse in- structors. The courses in Nutrition, Cookery, and Dietetics are taught by the hospital dietitian, the laboratory work for these courses being given in the well-equipped laboratories of the College of Home Eco- nomics. Lectures in Bacteriology are given in the hospital class- rooms whereas the laboratory work is given largely in one of the buildings of the College of Medicine. A well-qualified masseuse gives an adequate course in massage. During the senior year special lecturers speak to the students on professional problems, giving as wide a knowledge of the survey of the nursing field as possible. This includes nursing organizations and publications, registrations and registries, opportunities in nursing field such as private duty and various branches of the institutional work and public health.

Although it covers but 4 square miles, it has a population of 800,000 people. The Chinese are trained to do the work in the dispensary, which was first operated by Syracuse University in 1924. They have now become competent to carry on the work alone. The Syracuse High School is located on a fifteen acre plot, with two foreign residences, a chapel, and a gymnasium. An old church whose membership has greatly increased in the last five years, serves for religious services. Both church and school have been open during the recent political upheaval, the school being one of the few to open this term. The aims of our Unit are to furnish models in church, hospital, and school, and to train Chinese leaders and workers to relieve suffering and to increase happiness by service and education.

President of the Men ' s Senate Robert R. Bob Thompson, head of student government on the Hill, matriculated at Syra- cuse in the fall of 1922. He came to the University with one of the most enviable scholastic rec- ords in athletics of which any Hill freshman has been able to boast. He was born in Passaic, New Jersey and received his preparatory education at Passaic High School. It was while a student at this institution that Thompson established a national reputation in sports. He was a member of one of the most sensational teams in the history of scholastic basketball. brought his total for the year to exactly 1000 points. That year the team won four con- secutive games with a score of over 100 and in one of these he ac- counted for 69 of the 145 which were rolled up. Bob was a I s o a star performer in base- ball for three seasons and captained the team in his junior and sen- ior years. During his three years at first base he was credited with but one error. His b a 1 1 ing average for the last year was .512. The Passaic High quintet of which he was the outstanding member while in school, played several seasons against the strongest competition without a single defeat thus earning the title of national champions. Bob was for three years a member of the varsity squad and in the season of 1921-22, his senior year, accom- plished the phenomen- al feat which earned for h i m the oppro- brium, T h o u s a n d Point Thompson. In a total of 33 games he averaged over thirty points per game and in As a freshman o n the last minute of play the hill, Thompson was in the last encounter captain of the yearling of his high school ca- basketball and base- „„ i,„ .1: „j •„ „ Robert R.

Stricken with illness in the fall of 1923, however, Bob was forced to abandon all athletic activity and to leave college for the major part of two years. Undaunted by the blow which had been dealt him, he returned to the campus in 1925 and became active in the various lines of endeavor lying open to him. At this time he began his candidacy for managership of basketball which position he now holds. As a sophomore he was admitted into membership in Monx Head Junior Society. In the spring of his junior year he was elected presi- dent of the Men ' s Senate. During the past year he has been active as president of the Senate, manager of basketball and member of the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet. He is president of Phi Kappa Alpha, honorary senior society and a member of Alpha Kappa Psi and Beta Chi Alpha. That he has not sacrified scholastic attainment to extra-curricular participation is evidenced by his election to Phi Kappa Phi, national honorary scholastic and activity fraternity. Bob is affiliated with Delta Upsilon Fraternity. Bob ' s cordial manner, appealing personality and genial Howdy have won for him a popu- larity on the campus second to none and the honored position as head of student government at Syracuse.
