At this time the preparatory and basic course extended over a period of twenty eight months, and in 1922 the School began offering post-graduate courses for which many of the graduating students enrolled. In 1926 a five year combined course was set up with Occidental College. A loan fund was also established by Dr. J. Margaret Roberts, first woman physician on the staff. The students continued to furnish their own thermometers, hypodermic outfits and dressing instru- ments as well as textbooks and uniforms. Maternity was the only service on which students were assigned after 10:30 P.M., but rather lengthy split shifts were the order of the day. In 1926 a State Board inspection report revealed that the school very much needed a second instruc- tor. The one, Miss Kershaw, was at the time teaching eight subiects an average of eighteen hours a week, arranging the class schedule, chaperoning all lectures and doing some floor supervision.

THE NEW DORMITORY was completed in 1923 and housed both student and graduate nurses in the 132 single rooms. Room and board was still an integral part of the nurse's salary. The students furnished a recreation room and roof garden on the sixth floor. A student recreation room was also provided on the third floor of the Stewart Residence, although this building had become the home of supervisory personnel. Guests were entertained in the recep- tion room on the first floor of the Stewart Residence. Needless to say, this facility was not used frequently by the students. Later, a reception room was provided in the new building. fi .,,..... QQ f 5 , 'l'.' - -- T T. ' I ', ' f , i- .. 7 , , 'f -A . ., . .iff ,If , 1' , l, wiv- .i '5-
