EDITORIAL Ever since the days of the cave man, human beings have suffered the effects of fractures, wounds and other ills. In the dark ages, hospitals were houses of the sick and dying, filled with filth and corruption. As man progressed, his hospitals improved and today are filled with people whom, after receiving surgical and medical care, leave the hospital better fit to face the trials of life than when they came. In this edition of our year book we have tried to take you, the reader, on a tour of all our wards and let you share the experiences of the patient. In trying to accomplish this fact we have also tried to give you a picture of a Student Nurse, her character and convictions. It is our hope that your time was filled with pleasureful entertainment. May we take this opportunity to say “Patronize our Adver¬ tisers—they make our year book possible’’.
