Go miss JBIach O Miss Black's loyalty and unlimited support do we owe a great part of our success in being able to complete our Class Book. From the beginning we felt her interest was not only for us but with us. In Miss Black we have found one to whom we may go with our various troubles, and not only do we go to her to ask help, but we go confident she -will aid us in every way she can. No matter how trivial may be our problem, she gives it the due consideration that only a truly great General gives to his officers. VVe believe that she not only judges the school as a whole, but studies each girl individually as well. She has not only exercised her every effort to make our remain- ing time worth while, but has endeavored to send us out better able to meet the many tasks before us. She has helped us to choose our future work, and by her advice and encouragement we go forth stronger. And now we are about to go out the portals through which we so wonderingly came three years ago, we shall carry with us many pleasant memories of College Hospital, and among them will be the memory of Miss Black. May we in return be loyal to her by keeping uppermost in our minds the standard she has set for our school. -1

LYDIA A. BLACK T is with great pleasure that I congratulate this Class of 1921 of the lYoman's Medical College Hospital, and admire the spirit they have carried with them in their three years of arduous duties. These ever-willing workers have achieved the goal that once looked far distant: yet, as we reminisce. it was but yesterday when that terrible plague of influenza was raging, and it was at this time that these noble women felt their call to comfort the ill and relieve suffering humanity. May we never forget the untiring efforts and self-sacrifice that was made by the nurse at that time. Passing through this state of upheaval and unrest of the world's history has been beneficial to our profession: it has opened new channels to the graduate nurse. May this Class of 1921 realize that honor does not lie in being mercenary, but in the distinction you bring your Alma Mater, your colleagues and your profession. A star is never lost, That we once have seeng And we always may be XYhat we may have been. LYDIA ANN BLACK. 5
