-PROGRESS THROUGH CHANGE In this ever changing, tliis dynamic, fast moving world of today, wide sweeping changes are being made daily, even hourly in all industries and professions. Particularly is this true in the professions of medi¬ cine and nursing. Change, however, may be described in several ways: change may be static, that is, a thing may be altered without resulting improvement; on the other hand, change may be dynamic, bringing about much desirable alteration and resulting in progress and in improvement. Clianges pertaining to medicine, nursing, and its allied professions are particularly challenging at the present time. iNIodern trends toward socialized or state medicine have effected a general upheaval in the medical profession. In the opinion of many outstanding members of the medical group, state medicine challenges professional ideals, standards, and ethics. Sane logic plus construc¬ tive thinking are essential in arriving at an ideal solution. Just as dynamic and challenging are the changes taking place in nursing education. Advanced courses for graduate nurses in leading universities, collegiate schools of nursing which offer degree courses to undergraduate students, specialization, all of these indicate rapid advancement toward professional status. Revised curricula are in¬ cluding well rounded clinical experience, while improved teaching methods insure a better education for nursing students. Using as a guide such changing events, we have chosen for a central theme — Progress Through Change. To us, it seems particularly apropos, because our hospital and school of nursing are at this time undergoing a transition with one motive, progress. In order to bring about a favorable improvement, it is essential tliat one have something from which to develop a desired project. We need “that from which a thing is changed” — past history, heritage. Here at Charity we are granted a particularly fertile soil, a rich heritage, from which to develop a more perfect hospital and nursing school. From our heritage, we are choosing the best, the most desir¬ able factors to help us in our far-reaching project. Four J

Secondly, it is necessary that we haye some central force which shall bring about a desirable change. This factor, this force at Charity Hospital is oiir administration and onr facnlty. Through guidance and direction, these indiyidnals are influencing and changing the material giyen them. In their capacity as leaders and teachers, they proyide the actiye force which moulds the plastic material under their hands into its desired form. This plastic material is the students of the school. They are integral units necessary for the success of the particular projects formed around them, for the success of the school as a whole. It is the student who matters. “Just as great and heantiful sculpture is the realization of the potency in the stone from which it is caryed,” so real education is the realization of the possibilities in each student it touches. The work of the organized forces with and upon the material — the student — giyes us the end product or the result of change, the grad¬ uate, who is the primary objective of the school. In the graduate, we find the embodiment of acquired knowledge and ideals which will represent her Alma Mater to the world. We must remember, how¬ ever, that each graduate is not a duplicate of her classmate, but an individual complex being. However, even with all of these desirable factors no school is complete, no curricular activity is finished without its complement — extra¬ curricular activity — those pursuits and projects of the students which help the administration and the faculty to shape the student into the end product, the graduate. Such activities are essential for l)uilding a well-rounded personality — physical, mental, and spiritual — a complete being, capable of adapting and adjusting herself to situations confronting her in the daily pursuit of her profession. We give you, therefore, “Caps and Capes” in which we are attempt¬ ing to show you the purposes of the Charity Hospital School of Nurs¬ ing and the definite progress we have made through change from the past to the present. From the old have been taken those good and desirable things necessary to tlie new — all this, in hope, that we, the students, may ever cherish, uphold, and elevate those high standards established for us.
