EDITH B. IRWIN AY I extend to each of you my sincere wishes for the greatest success and happiness in your future career. Always be proud of your profession, never mar it by allowing your aim to be dollars instead of giving comfort and sympathy to those committed to your care. EDITH IRWIN. 3

Eebication HE names of Clara Barton, Florence Nightingale, Jane Delano and others are names which the whole nursing world looks up to and admires, because these women with dauntless courage and unending faith, established the ideals after which we now strive to pattern our lives. As this is true of the nursing world, so each training school with its little colony of student nurses instinctively chooses some person, often in their very midst, who to them is a living ideal. To the class of '21 the name of Edith B. Irwin stands out as belonging to one who has striven for and with us. A kind adviser when we needed help, a teacher and an organizer. Now that she has gone to other Helds of work, she is still with us in our thoughts. It is our privilege to have dedicated our Class Book to her as a standing act of our admiration, our love and our gratitude for the work she so nobly performed in our behalf. 1,4 W .iii-.

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
