The family, our basic social institution, is among other things the first teacher, the prime conditioner and molder of l ehavior and atti- tudes. It provides the setting in which adjustive patterns are established and it is the source and determinant of the quality of future genera- tions. In this period of turmoil and fluidity, families, regardless of Class and origin, are moving toward an industrialized, urbanized civilization. Yet, our parents, during this transitory period, have still been able to maintain the traditional support, security and stability for us, their children. We see the family with two vital functions: the rearing of children and stabilization of the adult. We also see an alteration in the i - ole of women — that of equality. Parents are the basis of our families, our thoughts, our morals and mores. Without them, without this strong foundation we would never be able to accept the responsibilities that are ever present and ever increasing in the nursing profession. For these reasons we say thank you Mother and Father. Thank you for the support, sacrifice and faith you have given us. Thank you for the pride and interest you have taken in us. Most of all thank you for allowing us enough individuality and independence to accomplish a most difficult task — maturity.
