'CQQAZVCZ Ggpening Qhhrnas Delivered by MISS URSULA LONG, at Class Day Exercises, May 22, 1922. DEAR FACULTY, UNDERGRADUATES, RELATIVES AND FRIENDS: HE class of 1922 bids you a hearty Welcome. Your presence cheers us tonight, even as your best wishes have encouraged us during the past three years. How short that time has been! How many things have happened! Three years ago our highest aim was to gain a place for ourselves in the nursing field. Today we rate the character of the nurse above the work she-does. We have learn-ed a devotion to service counts for more than mere efficiency. A It is true, however, that she who becomes most efficient is given the best chances in the profession. But the lasting joy of life is not in gain- ing the largest opportunities, but in the completeness with which she meets her everyday duties and is content to accept the chance for giving such love and service as actually falls to her lot. We hope that as we go away from here, we may render service to all, not narrowed by any kind of prejudice, with courtesy, and with hope and endurance which disappoint- ment can not touch. Thus each will deny herself, take up her duties, and each will find life and happiness. Some of the program is serious, some gay, but to all of it I again welcome you in behalf of the class of 1922.

fifzebfq, Gilman qliruplysrg PENN HOTEL, NEW YORK CITY, AUG. 7, 1929. DEAR DEEMER: 't h d from you for ages in fact 'not since you left New Haven ear - , , u York for Florida. How has the world. been treating you after all these years? Heard from Mickey the other day and she told me where you were. I think she said Miss Vi-ehdorfer had a letter from you. I have been very busy the last few years and in afew days will leave for the North. Was Superintendent of a hospital in California, but you know me for changing positions and so here I am. Will take charge of a hospital for soldiers in Ontario, Canada. - By the way, have you heard of any of the girls? I know a little some-Y thing about a few of them, and as you may not know, will tell you the little news I have. They say that Flory and Miller have opened a hospital in Bangor and are quite successful. Most of their cases are chronic, and you remem- ber Miller's pet chronic case she had on third floor. Adele and Hilda sure were a pair and especially when Hilda told of Adele walking in her sleep. Leiby, I heard, started a training school in Germansville with the best rules. The nurses do not go on duty until 10 a. m. Getting up in the morning always did work on Leiby's nerves, especially when she had to trot over for breakfast all alon-e and in the bargain lose her hours. Weber has charge of the Nurses' Directory in Philadelphia, and 'ask her any question about any nurse, she can give you the data. She keeps McFarland, now Mrs. Grosscup, informed most of the time. Mickey, you know, is happily married, but heavens only knows how long. She and Arthur have quite a family. I will be with them next week. Ackerjyou remember the Little Black Devil, as Laub called her- well, she.1s in charge of a college hospital in Indiana, and Professor Roberts instructs her probation classes, especially in French and Eng- lish, -'and they are very agreeable I hear. Wouldn't be a bit surprized if wedding bells ring in a few months. Forgot to tell you the most important thing. While in Chicago I went to a hair-dvressing parlor and whom should I meet but Kresge. You lemembel' Meta- Well, She gave up nursing and is doing hair curling. She 1 Page N inety-two
