1 5 t .ff HA1viPnEN-slnrflgisv 7 KQIDOSCOPE citizen, and loyal friend-fills a large place in the life of l-lampden-Sidney and of Prince Edward County. Nursing, too, runs in the family. Miss Brock's only sister, Mrs. I-I. C. Thornton, trained in St. l..uke's Hospital in Richmond, while Miss Brock herself is a product of the Training School at Catawba Sanatorium where she served her apprenticeship under Miss Ewald's practiced eye and guiding hand. Miss Brock's work at Hampden-Sidney has been of the most useful kind. Handicapped by lack of funds, as are all the agencies here, she has used the means at hand with rare good judgment and has, with Dr. lrving's advice and help, been able to fit up a small but adequately equipped hospital in which the students are well cared for in time of sickness. She has been tireless in her efforts to promote the students' welfare, unsparing-nay, reckless -of her own strength, ministering to the boys with the skill of a specialist and with the solicitude of a friend. And her work is fully appreciated by the under-graduates who feel that it is a rare privilege to have such a wise and sympathetic adviser and at all times delight to accord the love and gratitude to which her conscientious and faithful service give ample titleg for under Miss Brock's management the lnfirmary is not a lazaretto, a place of gloom above the portals of which are written Dante's mournful words Leave hope behind all ye who enter hereng but instead an air of cheerfulness prevails and there is no Hlack of woman's nursing , so that the homesick sufferer is sure of the sympathy and loving care of the white-robed superintendent, the warm- hearted ustudents' friend. The community, too, is a grateful beneficiary: for Miss Brock takes us all under her professional charge, visits us in time of sickness and trouble, and brings relief and cheer to those in need. Yea, she reached forth her hands to the needy and in her tongue is the law of kindness. -W. H. WHITING, JR. I 101
