It includes 16 wards, having a capacity of 450 beds. There are also 6 amphitheatres for clinical teach- ing, and surgical and medical dispensaries for general and special diseases. In the group of buildings forming the Uni- versity Hospital, there is-one central building devoted to gen- eral hospital work, the Gibson Wing for chronic diseases, the D. Hayes Agnew Memorial Pavilion, which contains 4 wards and 3 amphitheatres, and which is used principally for clinical instruction, the William Pepper Laboratory of Clinical Nledi- cinegthe Clinical Building, and- the Surgical Building. The two latter have recently been completed, and conform in gen- eral stylelof architecture to the University buildings. When the present plan for the entire Hospital is completed all the buildings will conform in style of architecture to these two, and will be brought out to the street line. To the rear of the Agnew Pavilion. has been added a wing for the X-ray Depart- ment, which forms an important part of the Hospital group, and which will soon be moved into the new Surgical Building. Spacious sun parlors have also been added to the rear of all of the principal hospital buildings. Among other buildings in the Hospital yard are the Isolation Building, the Maternity' Hospital, the Mo1'tuary and Chapel, the Laundry, and the Dormitories for Nurses. The medical staff of the University Hospital consists of l5O physicians and 170 nurses. ln the basements of the various buildings are surgical and medical dispensaries, a drug store, dispensaries for special diseases, and a series of halls devoted to baths of every description. s -- -V WHY .,.. .c:4,,, ,Aww Y wr Class Cfficers ' Presideni LUCRETIA MOTT GUSS Secretary I Treasurer EMILY IRENE 'CROFTS CATHARINE MARIE SCHRAGEN Vice President MARY EDNA STAMBAUGH Chairrnan Commencement Committee FRANCES ELIZABETH CRAMER 4 Tzbicalion T50 Our' 'Esleemeb TDircclress ana Counsellor miss Ullfilouise Snyber, Y.. 51. ana 50 Our Yaeloveb 'linslructor anb 'frienb miss mary Virginia Stephenson, Y..

A19 Chiefs' Writings The quotation from Richard Jeffries' Pageant of Summer - The ex- ceeding beauty of the Earth in her splendor of life yields a new thought with every petal. The hours when the mind is absorbed by beauty are the only hours when we really live, so that the longer we can stay among these things so much the more is snatched from the inevitable. fSignedj EDWARD MARTIN. The profession of trained nurses has covered itself with glory in offering the services of its members in such a large proportion to our country. The University graduates have taken a high rank among this noble group, and when the history of the nursing work of the war is written, it will be found that no better record will have been achieved by any other Training School than by that from which your class is about to graduate. fSignedj TALFRED STENGEL. The art of nursing is not new. To soothe and to solace, to help and to heal has been woman's privilege from time immemorial. Nursing as a profession is modern, and is a logical outgrowth of the newer medicine and the newer surgery. Neither the surgeon's skill nor the in- ternist's acumen can successfully Hght the battle for life' without the aid of a trustworthy lieutenant in the person of a conscientious, vigilant, self-denying, intelligent nurse. In fvhff Present supreme hour of trial for most of the world, the trained nurse is meeting the test with honor to her calling and her sex. For She tr-uly Hgirdeth her loins with strength and strengthens her arms, and a host ot the sons of many nations rise and call her blessed.', fSignedj JOHN B. DEAVER. 20 You ask nie to write 21 few lines of advice, but I do not like ' because the giving of advice carries with it a claim to superiority.. tifvdlfi lildifse chosen a calling that is one of the best, for the bestowal of 'service to suffer- ing humanity is rewznded by great satisfaction. There is abundant oppor- tunity for such service, and your lives have brought and must continue to bring so long as you follow your noble profession, the realization of the truth of these words. ' KSignedj WILLIAM G. SPILLE-R. Best wishes to the Class of 1918, our indispensable assistants in our work. fSignedj BARTON CooKE HIRST. A verse in the Bible reads: 'fBe ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as dovesf' It is easier to be wise than it is to be harmless. A good nurse will not only be wise in the caring of her patients, but harmless in that she keeps strictly her own counsel. The numerous peculiarities of disposition and faults of character which she has observed, and all the family skeletons, little and big, with which she is sure to become acquainted, she will. hold sacred, and as learned in her professional capacity, she will treat them as though imme- diately forgotten. t 1 Sincerely, fSignedj J. P. CROZER GRIVFFITH. iii- Speaking of the practice of Medicine, Qliver Wendell Holmes once said: I dare not place any gift, however beautiful, or any success, however brilliant, above the talent or the skill which can relieve a simple pang, and the self- devotion which lays them at the feet of the' humb-lest fellow creature, and the same may be said of the arduous calling you have chosen. The material rewards will often be small, but you .will have the joy which c0mCS ff0m relieving the suffering of some fellow-creature.

Conscientiousness, carefulness, cheerfulness-the possession of these three qualities is essential to the success of a nurse's career. KSignedj H. K. PANCOASTf Symphony for the Class of 1918: In extending my heartiest congratulations to the Class of 1918, I can give no better advice than to reiterate the symphony of Wil1ia.m Henry Channing: Live content with small means, seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion, be Worthy, not respectable, and Wealthy, not rich, study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open hearts, bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never, in a Word, let the spiritual, unbidden and un- conscious, grow up through the commonf' I A Yours very sincerely, fSignedj B. A.9'IIH0MAs. To the Class of 1918: You have just passed through three years of hard Work and severe discipline in a hospital famed for its directing physicians, surgeons and nurses. I Wish for every one of you the full measure of success that such la training deserves. . fSignedj T. TURNER THOMAS. To the Class of 1918: I entered the Hospital at about the same time as most of you, and We have Worked together, learned together, and developed together. I feel, therefore, that your class is in a way my class, at least, it is the one in which I have the deepest interest. lVIany of you have been my patients, most of you, I hope, are my friends, for certainly it is as friends that I have regarded you. Please believe that you take with you my hopes for thel full realization of your dearest desires and for the happiest of lives. fSigner1j N. RALPH GOLDSMITH. 27 H Good luck to Hl9l8. I wish each one success. You have chosen the most exacting and self-sacrificing work a woman can do. But you will be happy in the traditions and achievements of your profession and in the 'grateful recollection of your service in the hearts of your patients. lWay everything go well with you. ' Very sincerely, fSignedj BROOKE M. ANSPACH. - i To the Class of 1918: There is more work and better work to be done by the nursing profession today than ever before in history. It is up to you who are graduating to do your bit in upholding the status of the nursing profession in general and of the University Hospital in particular. We all feel confident' that you can and will do it. . fSignedj FRANK BENTON BLOCK. Polonius' advice to his son Laertes- ,, . . .

H Camp Greenleaf, Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. To the Class of 1918: The profession to which you are now being ad- ,mitted has always been characterized by sacrifices. However, I know if you approach it with the same spirit that was manifested by your class as undergraduates, you will consider each sacrifice not as such, but as an oppor- tunity for doing good. These opportunities I fear are about to be tre- mendously multiplied, but I know that under such circumstances your thor- ough training, your initiative and your splendid spirit, will enable you all to win honor and glory for yourselves and your Alma Mater. Best wishes to you all for a very successful career, from 4 KSignedj WILLIAM BATES. 23 Thoughts to the Class of 1918: How shall I live? In earnestness. What shall I do? VVork earnestly. What shall I give? A Willingness. I VV hat shall I gain? Tranquillity. But do you mean a quietness In which I act and no man bless, Flash out in action infinite and free, V Action conjoined with deep tranquillity, Resting upon the soul's utterance And life shall How as merry as a dance? fSignedj FRANCIS G. HARRISON. Your patient is never a case but always a human being very like yourself. May you' all live very happily ever after. Sincerely, I . fSigned'j ARTHUR B. HAMILTON. In extending greetings and best Wishes to the members of the Class of 1918, may I urge that you carry with you in your Work the gospel of H O P E.

You are all Hnishing a Training School, and many Of your old Chiefs are commencing a Training School of a little different type, but in which the same general principle applies, namely discipline. The bei? thing that I can say to you is the motto of our Camp: Do it well, do it carefully, do it nowf' I will add to that, Have 21 sense of humourf' and you will get along. Yours sincerely, fSigm-dj EDMUND B. PIPER. 24 Prediction for Class 1918: How far that little candle throws its beam, so shall your good deeds shine in this dear old world. KSignedj B. M. MCINTIRE. To R. N. i Remember it's commonly said: There's nothing too hard for a nurse! You nurse us until we are dead- For death does notibother a nurse, When we come to this earth You assist at our birth- That's work day and night fora nurse. You're never to sleep or to eat- For you can't be human and nurse. You work in the cold or the heat, But what matters that to a nurse? Not -a howling D. T. A T. Y. or T. B. Is too tough a case for a nurse. Some day you'll .be called to a case, And meet every other good nurse ln a heavenly sort of a place, VVhere there'll be no patients to nurse, You'll do nothing but rest, Just be happy and blest, For nothing7s too good for a NURSE. . fSignef1j O. H. PERRY PEPPER. To the Class of 1918: Leave consequences to God, but do right. Be genuine, real, sincere, true, uprightf' The world's maxim is, trim your sails and yield to circumstancesf, But if you would do any good in your generation, you must be made of sterner stuff, and help make your times rather than be made by them. You must not yield to customs, but like the anvil, endure all blows until the hammers break themselves. When misrepresented, use no crooked means to clear yourself-clouds do not last long. If in the course of duty you are tried by the distrust of friends, say in your heart, I was not driven to virtue by the encouragement of friends, nor will I be repelled from it by their coldness. Be just, and fear not. fSignedj JOSEPH C. BIRDSALL. 25 To the Class of 1918: At this crisis of the wor1d's history, when women are daily being called upon to fill the tasks of men, no one knows what may fall to the lot of any one of you. But my wish is that no matter where you may be called to work, no matter what may be expected of you, every girl of the Class of 1918 may always hold as her ideal that most noble of all creatures- a modest, true, womanly woman, trained and 'skilled to administer to the sick with the gentleness and sympathy of which only a true woman is capable. K Signed j THOMAS H.. LLEYVELLYN. You are entering your career at a time when the world is calling out to your profession for help. Each of you will answer the call, some by service at the front, others by the more dillicult service at home. Wherever you are and whatever the task assigned you, put the best you have into it, do it with a smile and stick to it until it is done, for such a spirit cannot fail. Good luck and good wishes to the Class of 1918. . 'Q fSignedj FLoYD E. KEENE. If the remainder of the Class of 1918 has as much persistency as the repre- sentative who has obtained this acknowledgment from me, I predict that they will make a mark for themselves. ' Y KSignea'j CHARLES C. MORRIS. Perhaps a few 1ines from Kipling will convey a thought to you on the occa- sion of the commencement of your life's work: Only the Master shall praise us, And only the llvlaster shall blame, And no one shall work for money, And no one shall work for fame, But each for the joy of the Working, And each in his separate star, Shall draw the thing as he sees it For the God of things as they are. With my sincerest wish for your success. fSiglZL'Il7j SIMON S. LEOPOLD. 26 ll ' 1 4 4 u Somewhere in France. I wish each one of you success and happiness in all things. KSignedj T. HALE. -iii. Whatever' side of the Water we may be on, I think these words of .Emerson will help us all: Cn bravely through the Sunshine and the Showers I Time hath its work to do, and we have oursf, I KSign-edj XCHARLES H. FRAZIER. 1 i. To the Class of 1918: Now that your three years of training is drawing near its end,,you doubtless begin to realize that each one must face the future for herself and plan accordingly. A nurse's life in a hospital is to a certain extent shielded from the outside world, and she has, in fact, been living in a little community which is some- what set apart from the city which surrounds it. Her days Cand nightsj have been filled with many interests, absorbing work, troubles and perplexities. But there has always been someone higher in authorityito whom you could come for advice and help. From now on, you must learn to depend upon your- selves and make your way-each one according to her ability and perseverance. The war will claim the services of some of you and there will be times when your patience, courage and physical endurance will be tested to their utmost limit-and then remember that the nurses on the other side of No Manfs Landn are faring no better than you are. But whether engaged in military or civil nursing, you will have certain duties to perform which should be carried out in a particular and definite manner. First understand clearly why very precise and particular methods are acquired, and then see to it that you carefully and conscientiously carry out every detail of your allotted task. A nurse cannot adequately superintend the surgical technique of an oper- ating room, nor can she correctly carry out the technique, unless she first understands clearly why certain steps are necessary-and then, knowing the underlying surgical principles, she proceeds to carry them out with absolute precision. I wish you well-everyone-each in your own particular sphere of use- fulness. ' - . fSign-adj NVALTER G. ELMER. 27 He who closes his mind to the other man's idea, and disregards the other fe110W'S way of -seeing things, is held in the confines of a narrow self, beyond which he cannot expand. Fling the portals of your faculties wide open, place there asisentinels, dis- cretion and candor, proclaim a welcome to every constructive thought, make yourself acquainted with the other man's point of view, study his opinions 3 mix them well with your own experience, add copiously' magnanimity, settle the compound with good sense, and you will not only succeed, but you will approach much nearer to perfection in your calling, and enhance your use- fulness. Success isn't got by sacrificing other people, you must sacrifice yourself, and live under orders, and never think for yourself, and never have any real satisfaction in your work except just at the beginning, when youlre reaching out after a notion. H fSign.edj VVM. JACKSON MERRILL. Dear Girls,-In these difficult times of strife and economy, I feel that even my letter to you should be somewhat I-Iooverized. Would you, believe it, I am a sincere advocate of morleratiorzf yes, really I am, in almost everything. Cf course, I admit that it is rather difficult to practice what one preaches, but you must all try earnestly to follow my ex- emplary manner of living. Now perhaps you are not thinking of just what I am thinking of, but remember what one of your own sex, lXIrs. Robert Browning, says, a happy life means prudent compromisef' And now, dear girls, this above all- stop, look, and listen -and, inci- dentally, if it is possible, talk but little. lf you are fond of wrist watches and DOCUY, you may remember this little verse from 'l'ennyson's Lord of the Isles. I Oh, many a shaft at random sent, Finds mark the archer little meant! And many a word at random spoken, IVIay soothe or wound a heart that's broken. fsitljllrftlbj NORMAN KNIFE. 28 To the Class of 1918: ' Never since the establishment by Miss Florence Nightingale of the first Training School for Nurses has your guild had such a splendid opportunity to register a great epoch for your profession as during this greatest crisis in the Wo1'ld's history. From every hospital in France and Italy, from the despoiled peoples of the world, scourged by a wanton enemy bent upon their ruthless extermination, from the military and naval hospitals of our country there comes an urgent appeal for your service. The task of the army. surgeon and of the nurse in war, as in peace, is one of restoration and not of destruc- tion. Therefore, we may all gladly except the call. 'While the duties may be heavy and soul-proving, the ,rewards will be incalculable, for you will receive a gratitude from those ill and wounded soldiers, to whom you render your gentle and skillful services, too deep for expression. To you will come that greatest of distinctions conferred by our Master- Well done, thou good and faithful servant. To this National call, a patriotic band of our most efficient nurses of the University Hospital has responded with heart 'and soul, and as the war con- tinues many others will follow.-A Those of us who have worked with you in our wards know that you will render a good account of your stewardship and that the honor of your profess-ion and of our great Hospital is secure in your hands. For your success and welfare, we shall all be solicitous. To this chosen group of the University Hospital Unit when they arrive at their mili- tary assignment will apply the verse dedicated by Matthew Arnold to Miss Flor-ence Nightingale and her company of splendid women, as an appreciation of their miraculous work in bringing order out of horrible chaos in the military hospitals of the Crimean War in 1857: Then in such hour of.need, - Ye, like angels, appear, Radiant with ardour divineg Qrder, courage, return. .. . . Ye move through the ranks, recall The stragglers, refresh the outworng Praise, reinspire the brave! Eyes rekindling, and prayers ,, Follow your steps as ye go. he Class of 1918 fWith heartfelt wishes for the greatest of success to all of t '1 am Cordiall and faithfully yours, Y ' KSignedj JOHN G. CLARK. 29 To the Ladies of the Class of 1918: You are emerging into your profession at a time when its needs are very great, and When, in consequence, many are-being admitted Whose fitness falls far short of yours. ln this heterogeneous group will occur many brilliant successes, and likewise many failures, and each result will depend upon the knowledge, the devotion, and the tact that is displayed. After three years' instruction and experience you, as a class, are peculiarly Well equipped with the first of these, but the others are quite as important, and as you exhibit love for your work, and therefore zeal and self-sacrifice in it, and an ability to accomplish things efficiently, yet gracefully and unassumingly, will your suc- cess be measured. My best wish for each of you is that you may so combine these requisites as to render aservice to your country, either at home or abroad, that will redown to the glory of your noble profession.

Head Nurse of Receiving Xvllfll and Dispensaries The members of the Class of l9l8 will more fully appre- ciate the work done in the dispensaries because of having eight weeks on Social Service. The co-operation of the social worker has done much to make effective the work of the dispensary staff, and, in addition to the service and aid rendered the patient, gives the nurse who does it a broader outlook and a better opportunity to get the patient's viewpoint.

M. og We came, we saw, we are conquered. Yes, we the Class of l9l8, of the -University Hospital. Let us go back for a few minutes, and remember ourselves in our early days., VVe came down from that little town up the State, from Reading, from Ashland, from Curwenfsville, Berwick, Chester County, then a few from other states, from the Empire State, Maryland, little Delaware contributed Happy Day, from across the seas, from Scotland, Belgium and Germany, came other members of the class. R Despite that lumpy feeling in our throats, and the watery solution that would persist in irrigating our eyes, at the thought atwhat we had left behind, and that dread fear of the un- known- that we were pitching into, despite 'all this, I say, there was a lump on the northwest side of our heads. I-Iadn't every- body been lovely before we left? They had given farewell dinners, parties and gifts. They had shaken their heads, know- ingly, and said, She will make a good nurse, all right. You knew the community would miss you, but then it was your duty to have a career. You would not admit it for worlds, but you hadbeen reading K, i and you thought there wouldbe some romance around the corner. t After seeing Miss Snyder in the Board Room, and receivin-g our Book of Rules, we were escorted to the Maternity Dormi- tories, and landed in lVIiss Keesey's oflice. She, in turn, took us to the third floor, to the big room, or to one of the small rooms. We dressed up 'in sober little probation dress, pinned on our cap, powdered our nose, cultivated a sweet smile, and decided we did look rather professional after all. If it were before 3 P.M., we went on duty, if not, after making the ac- quaintance of our room-mates, and partaking of dinner, we went to bed. ' 46 Q ln the early days of the older members of the class, the new Maternity Building was in the course of construction. Can't you still hear that drill, that awful noise that never stopped by day or by night? just before we went to sleep, someone told us that the cries we heard in the distance were from The Philadelphia General Hospital. When we awakened in the night, and heard them, the cold shivers ran up and down our spines. Then the various noises from Maternity made us long for that quiet little room at home, that was empty to-night and where we were so missed. We saw. In the morning we arrived at roll-call, and an- swered f'present, right at the end of the long line. How many more times were we to answer it? And, alas, how many times were we to arrive just too late? VVill we ever forget diets the first day, sweeping one side of the ward, cleaning the bathrooms, assorting the linen, etc.? How wonderful the older nurses seemed and how much they knew! How the sick patients frightened us! Some of us had two months' probation work, and some of us had two months plus. , Will you ever forget when we were accepted, how shaky we were when we climbed the incline, and how hard it was to talk? Qur hands and feet were in the way. What a glow of happiness swept over us, when we were allowed to try for four months more. Then when we were relieved, how de- lighted we were at the prospect of doing up patients. When we were First called into the dressing room, we did not know what to do. The awful feeling which accompanied this new experience was a composite sensation, a mixture of feelings in the past, such as Valedictorian on Commencement Day, going to the dentist, and being walked home with for the first time, with the boy next door. VVe recovered from it and came to like it. VVhen we ran into a chief accidentally, we went the other 47 way, and secured help. Sometimes, though, we were cornered, and one member of our class was lectured for fifteen minutes by the genial Dr. Pfeiffer, as to the proper way of giving enteroclysis. It was the first time she had ever seen it given, but she never will forget. Speaking of chiefs, how they gained our earnest admiration and affection. We will never forget them in lectures, in clinic, and by the patients' bedsides. Then classes started. It did not take many weeks of class work before it began to dawn upon us what a friend we had in Miss Stephenson. .Much credit belongs to her if we do anything great in the nursing world. How many times the thought of her honest, straightforward opinions helped us when we might have been tempted to shirk, also the friendly humorous side shown us, especially in our Senior year. First came our Anatomy Lectures, which we had the pleasure of taking from Dr. Wfillard. We were the last class so honored. He is now serving his country somewhere across the sea. VVe, as a class, will never forget his lectures, not only what we learned, but the wonderful personality of the gentleman who gave them. Dr. Piper gave us Physiology, in his usual breezy style. He scared us almost silly by his threats to flunk us, but when we knew him better, we found that his weakness was -his love of teasing nurses. He is n-ow one of the most popular odicers at Fort Gglethorpe. Dr. VVolferth gave his scholarly discourses on Bacteriology, and the gentle Dr. Birdsall, Preventive Medicine and Hygiene. Bandag- ing was taught us by Dr. Prosser in the latter days of his stay at the hospital. These three are also added to the list of, f Heroes in The Making. Q ' , By this time, summer was with us again, and vacation. Will we ever forget that month at home, and all its joys? The least of these not being our return back to our work, which was no longer drudgery but a part of ourselves, so vital had it become. This summer we had our Hi-st brief taste of being 48 staff nurses, and had our dressing-room experience. What pleasure it afforded one to say, I had ward M dressing room. Night duty. By this time we had our first and second terms. All through life we shall remember these long hard watches in some of the larger wards. It was then we learned tokput ourselves in our patients' places, and we came most intimately in contact with them, for all responsibility was ours. P y In the fall we resumed our lectures and were given all there is to know of surgery by the brilliant Dr. Eliason. Dr. Keene gave a course' in Gynaecology, which was followed by a helpful lecture by Miss Baker, the head nurse of ward K. Then another treat followed, our lectures on contagious diseases by Dr. Ostheimer, which were most thoroughly en- joyed. Our classes in Massage, by Miss Corbin, and Dietetics, by Miss Barr, wove in and out the spaces left from lectures. I think, in some future world, Miss Barr will wear a brilliant star in her crown. She taught dietetics to the nurses in this School for several long years. Then we were treated to Dr. Llewellyn's course in lVIateria Medica. Up to date we have had 'Obstetrics by Dr. J. C. Hirst, and a most interesting and instructive series of lectures on Medicine, by Dr. Miller, which we have greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Captain Bates gave a course on First Aid, which helped to prepare us for the work in the future. During our training we had the pleasure of hearing several talks by bliss Smith. Very wonderful they were, given in her sympathetic and magnetic manner, especially the last one in the interest of The Red Cross. Our eight weeks' course in Social Service was much ap- preciated and enjoyed by all, except Miss Frantz. It has opened our eyes to new and fertile fields in which our train- ing has fitted us to work. 49 Miss Snyder, our Directress, gave. us talks each year which were most helpful and instructive, She has our life-long affection, gratitude and loyalty for her advice and guidance during our course. How we all love this old Hospital! The kits'l in G and Lg the women in K, N, and the Mat, the sailors in Hg the emergencies in dear old Mg the medical cases in D and B5 the Private Floor, the Receiving Ward with its many ex- citementsg the Surgical Dispensary where Dr. B. A. Thomas presides so well, and with Dr. Birdsall and Dr. Harrison to teach you the many things that turn up during the Dispensary hours. The Clinics. Maternity Clinic, Dr. Clark's Clinic, and the wonderful General Surgical Clinic, where Dr. Frazier does such skillful brain surgery, and if you are good, allows you to look down into the dura mater, Dr. Martin wel- comes his blithe youths, and with his able assistants does such great things in his characteristic style. Here, too, Dr. Deaver yields the aseptic scalpel, and with his motto Cut well, sew well, get well, captures unruly appendices, and makes the common duct behave. 'From the time we entered here we knew of the bitter fight across the sea. At first it seemed impossible that it could touch us, but as the months rolled on it crept nearer and nearer. We dreaded it and were not prepared. Then sud- denly in the spring of l9l7 those immortal words seemed again to ring across' the States: Fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition. that all men are created equal. Cur people awoke and responded, and now with true American spirit we were ready to help our allies. In the peaceful spring evenings of l9l7, our University boys drilled up and down past Houston Hall. Now those boys are gone and most of the men we worked with. Many so of our chiefs and our young residents responded to the call. Our Unit was formed and it is ready. , As a class We are almost through, are almost prepared, if We are needed, in our country or abroad. We, the Class of 1918, are proud and happy to consider ourselves an offering from the University Hospital to the United States of America to be used P. R.

Q Cl 77 From April First beginning, A They started to appear, And from out Mat Dormsu doorway, There issued, looking queer, 9 A group of green young probies, Dressed in ginghams, blue and striped, VVith white aprons fluttering, And they thought they knew a sight. But, lo! the diet kitchens stared- Stared them blankly in the face, And 'twixt cooking eggs and carrying trays And dusting tables many, A tired dejected group of probes, Said, Pity the Class of '20. But now one year has almost gone, And We are here, forty-seven strong, And do our bit, be it great or small, And swell the U. P. H. breakfast call. S7 My Classmates my B. M. GQI Let me read you a rhyme of my Classmates fair, They are a wonderful bunch, with virtues rare, They are the best of workers and they are fond of -play They stick right together and are always that way. First Gussie came down from Reading Town, And has earned a reputation of great renown. As the best Class President, and arbetter cook Her many virtues would fill a book. She doesn't say ain't and already so soon And her temper is as sweet as the month of June. A Yanky lass is our little Irene, A match to her blushes is yet to be seen. She is a very good nurse, and she is very sweet, And has a score of admirers down at her feet. ' Then came Schragen from up the State, With a heart of gold as sure as Fate. g She is so very sure and not a bit rash We made her the Treasurer, and she handles the cash. Another young- lady now joined our Class, By the name of Cooper, a likely young lass. A bad case of fever in her course made her stop, But it didn't phase Gracie, she's still on the top. Through the awful war there came to -pass, A wonderful addition to our wonderful Class. After doing her best on her own battlefield, There sailed from Belgium our talented Cecile. Next comes Greenie, not much to tell, lnscribe on her tombstone, She meant well. On Harrisburg we then made a raid, And returned with a typical little Dutch maid, Her last name is Deimler, and Lillie her first, She's so filled with learning, she's ready to burst. 58 Then there blew in from around Wilmington way, A lively youngster known as 'Happy Day, She likes to work, she likes to play, But she would rather by far sleep all day. If you really want to please this happy young thing, just ask her to get her gang and sing. Taylor made famous old Kennett Square, And then our Miss Stiner, she came from there. She was reared and raised 'mid quaint old box-hedges, And at breakfast she yells for an egg with brown edges. Keebler sailed in from old Williamsport, And anchored her vessel at our little port. She's an excellent worker, and it has been said, She has as many good points as she has hairs on her h Curwensville, Penna., cannot be found on the map, But for a small thing like that, we don't care a rap. They gave us their best, they sent little Nan, You can't match that youngster, try if you can. She's jolly and generous and wholesome and sweet, She's always in mischief, but to know her is a treat. Everettthen lost its prettiest belle, When Beatrice came to the city to dwell. There the Hower of love in her heart did bloom She yielded with a Sigh, and gave it room. We're sure the fruit will be a solitaire, For she nurses the Hower with tenderest care. Frantzie hails in from Berwick, weire told, She possesses hair of wondrous gold. We are very much afraid she willgo back that way, For she hears from Bob every single day. Then Mildred lVIay landed in our School, ead C She does her work well and practices the Golden Rule. It's really quite exciting about your Class to sing, Why, all their faults vanish like snow banks in Spring. S9 And then comes Dorner with eyes so blue, We are mighty glad she brought her fiddle, too. It has afforded much pleasure and many a treat, Old tunes and new, welcome and sweet. Then Lois arrived from Coatesville, P-A, It was thought she was rather too pretty to stay. But she soon developed a heart condition, they say, That is going to end in the old-fashioned way. And now there arrived from Johnstown, the city of water and coal Dear Old Grandma Collobert with a heart of rarest gold. She tries to hide the latter thing, 'neath a curious little growl But when her friends are imposed upon, you ought to hear her howl Then 'flWurdie arrived so bright and clever, From Scotia, the land of Burns and Heather. She tries to b-e severe and boss us around, But a better sport than Murdiei is mighty hard to be found. Then Clem, she blew in from the Laborator-e-e, She's a professional lady 'tis easy to see. She works like a trooper, and tells us all how, But we all love Elizabeth, I'll tell you now. Now comes Anna Noel, the friend of us all, She mothers her patients, the great and the small, Her other good points, she has brothers to spare, She possesses charms, wit, and most wonderful hair. Then arrived Catharine Conard, who is quite free from She's a mighty nice youngster, as good as she's fair. She claims in the School she ne'er smashed a heart, But don't you 'believe her, she'-s about done her part. Her friend Della Miller, is to be found ,close at hand, She's a mighty good fellow, quite full of sand. That she's a good nurse, it's quite plain to see, She displays such an interest in Dichloramine-T. Then comes Betty Walker, who sings for the Class, Her singing is so good, we can't let it pass. She also can talk with her Hngers and to-es, And has more talents than anyone knows. 60 care, Next little Frances from Buckingham drifted in, She owns a Ford Roadster, and decided young chin. She has a big f'Bill, who sails in the air, She thinks pale green goes Well with her hair. Then came Louise VVest from Erin's green shore, If We thought there Were more like her, vve'd send there for more But when she makes up her mind, she Wants her ovvn was You can argue With Westie till the close of the day. Then from Maryland my lVIaryland, comes big Julia Jones She's a handsome example of flesh and bones. We certainly missed her while she was avvay, And when she returned, 'tvvas a Red Letter Day. Then arrived a gay pair, Misses Martin and Dick, To separate the pair, We have not learned the trick. Lydia shines in Clinic, Dick can make lemon pie, The thoughts of its excellence, I resign with a sigh. Then comes old Stammie, near the foot of the Class, But that's the more reason We can't let her pass. She's only one failing, for it has been said, She looses her shoes-purse-and all-but her head. Then comes little Riddy, who hasia man on the sea, They say she is as faithful as a female can be. Sh-e's not the only one Who loves o'er the sea, There's Collie, Cecile, Frantzie, Cooper and Bea. Then comes our baby, the clever Lucile, When it ,comes to big words, Well, that child she can speel She writes like a fine hand, and recites like a book, lf you wish a precocious child, as Mick, take a look Dear Class of '18, as I close these poor rhymes, I think of our troubles, our work, our good times. I think of our future, Where duty may call, l can only say Good Luck, and '4God Bless You All 61 MISS LYDIA MCCAW, R. N. Former Night Superintendent To Miss lVlcCaw In the early hours of another day, Ere the city was guilded by the daWn's first ray, In our silent Watch in this house of pain, Coaxing life and health and love again, There would come as a glow of rosy light A counsellor and guide from the depths of the night.

Army Base Hospital No. 20 CU. of PJ Napoleon said that an army marches on its stomach. Today it may be asserted With equal truth that an army fights on the efliciency of its sanitary personnel. On every hand the his- tory of modern Warfare bears out this statement. Were it not for the conservation of human life Wrought by preventive med- icine, improved methods of camp sanitation, and recent ad- vances in reconstructive surgery and the treatment of Wounds, long ere this disease and pestilence Would have terminated the present World-Wide struggle that for nearly four years has defied 'man's most destructive efforts. The vital role that the medical forces of an army play in the successful conduct of campaigns was fully appreciated by those in charge of the Medical Department of the United States Army. Long before the entrance of this nation into the present struggle this branch of the Army had organized a reserve and Was vigorously striving to perfect plans for the adequate and efficient care of our righting forces should the occasion arise. It,is not surprising, therefore, that when in the spring of 1916, Dr. George Crile, that distinguished surgeon fresh from the Western battle front, proposed the organization of the so-called Red Cross Base Hospitals as a preparedness measure in time of peace, his plan received the hearty approval and support of the Surgeon-General's office. However, it re- mained for Col. Jefferson R. Kean, as Director-General of the Department of Military Relief of the American Red Cross, to put Dr. Crile's plan into practical operation. Colonel Kean pushed this great project with such enthusiasm that by the autumn of 1916 a number of both Army and Navy Base Hospitals had been organized throughout the United States, and when this country declared War on Germany a consider- ably greater number of these units Was available. 67 There were tvvo reasons for organizing and equipping Base Hospitals in time of peace. In the Hrst place no government not at War has ever been Willing to spend the money to pm- vide completely and store the enormous amount of equipment and supplies necessary for the number of Base Hospitals fe- quired by a large army. To procure these after War is de- clared entails delays that result not only in needless deaths and great suffering among the wounded, but also in a lessen- ing of the number of effectives that are returned to the front, thereby seriously impairing the efficiency of the combatant troops. Therefore it was of prime importance to amass such equipment before it was urgently needed. ln the next place, first-class medical and surgical specialists and Well-trained nurses accustomed to Work together, make a more effective professional personnel than a group of physicians and nurses hurriedly gotten together from all parts of the country. Hence, While there was yet time, the medical officers and nurses for these Base Hospitals had to be carefully selected from various institutions so that a well co-ordinated body of skilled Workers would be immediately available whenever required. The far-sighted wisdom of those who conceived and car- ried out the early organization of these hospitals has been amply justified by subsequent events. . VVhen once the Base Hospital project became well known, many of the great civil hospitals throughout the country en- thusiastically undertook the organization of these units, usu- ally With the financial aid of some local chapter of the Amer- ican Red Cross. ln every instance the civil hospital, known as the 'mother institution, was of sullieient size to furnish the professional and nursing personnel for the Base Hospital. and at the same time to retain an adequate statl' for its own proper conduct. ln this wav, it was argued, the civilian popll- lation would not be neglected for the army. OS The physicians assigned to these Base Hospital units are commissioned as oflicers in the Medical Reserve Corps of the United States Army. One of their number is appointed Director. Upon this oflicer devolves the duty of selecting and organizing the personnel, as well as the task of purchas- ing and accounting for the vast amount of varied equipment required for one of these hospitals, which are organized on a basis of SOO bedsf The money for the purchase of equip- ment and all surgical supplies and dressings is supposed to be and in most instances has been provided by the local Red Cross Chapters. So long as a Base Hospital unit is not in active service it is under the jurisdiction of the American Red Cross. The moment, however, one of these units is mobilized and taken over by the government, it becomes a part of the Medical Department of the Army, subject absolutely to the orders of the Surgeon-General. VVhen the organization of a Base Hospital is assured its existence is authorized by the War Department and the hospital is given a number by which it is known thereafter. The Base Hospitals are numbered in the order of their authorization. Each Army Base Hospital has a commissioned personnel consisting of twenty-two physicians and surgeons, two den- tists, and a chaplain. When a hospital is ordered into active service the War Department puts it under the command of a regular army medical oHicer,.and also assigns to it an officer of the Quartermastefs Corps. ln addition to these oflicers there are with every Army Base Hospital, sixty-Hve nurses, one hundred and Hfty-three enlisted men, who belong to the enlisted reserve corps of the medical department, and six civilian employees. A corps of Hnurses' aids, twenty-five to fifty in number, have also been authorized for each Base Hos- pital unit. They represent an auxiliary nursing force, a re- serve to be called into service as occasion requires. Once on active duty, the conduct and administration of one of these 69 Army Base Hospitals differs in no Way from that of any Army General or Base Hospital. They are completely under mili- tary discipline and control and are responsible only to military authority. A As was to be expected from the institution that furnished the first Surgeon-General of any American Army and Whose sons have ever come to the front in all ti-mes of nation-al peril, the University of Pennsylvania promptly organized an Army Base Hospital and offered its services to the governmentf At present that Base Hospital, mobilized and fully equipped, is on active duty and is officially known as U. S. Army Base Hospital No. 20. Q It may be said Without fear of contradiction that no Base Hospital is better or more fully equipped than is Base Hos- pital No. ZO. This fact is a glowing tribute to the loyalty and unprecedented generosity of the friends and alumni of the University of Pennsylvania. The National Red Cross charged each of its local chapters With the duty of providing the funds for- fully equipping the Base Hospitals organized in their respective territories. It is a matter of record that the Base Hospitals organized in Philadelphia were never ac- corded the Hnancial aid to Which they Were entitled from the local Red Cross Chapter. As a consequence, it became neces- sary for those interested in the University Base Hospital to make a public appeal for its equipment and supplies. The thirty thousand dollars Worth of hospital equipment that every Base Hospital was required to purchase and store in time of peaceivvas provided for the University Base Hos- pital by the Harrison Fund. The sincerest thanks of every Pennsylvanian are due the generous donors of this fund, Mrs. Emily Leland Harrison, Mr. Thomas Skelton Harrison, and Mr. George L. Harrison, each of Whom contributed ten thou- sand dollars. When, after war was declared, the Base Hospitals were re- vo quired to increase their equipment extensively, further appeals had to be made. With unfailing patriotism the public re- sponded and on January l, 1918, over 390,000 cash had been contributed to the University Base Hospital treasury. This money is carried in four funds: Clj The Hospital Equip- ment Fund, QZQ The Foreign Fund, QD The Personnel Fund, and Q45 The Nurses' Fund. Cash contributions were credited to the last three funds only by special consent of the donors thereto. In addition twenty thousand dollars Worth of supplies in kind have been donated to the Base Hospital and placed in storage. t A conspicuous example of unselfish personal service has been afforded by the Board of Women Visitors of the Univer- sity Hospital, Who, under the energetic leadership of Mrs. VVilliam W. Arnett, formed a University Base Hospital Auxiliary, raised 510,000 With Which they purchased the mate- rials out of which they themselves made enough surgical dressings, hospital linen, pajamas, shirts, etc., actually to over- supply the Base Hospital. Furthermore, they furnished the entire hospital personnel With complete outfits of knitted goods. As a result of their self-sacrificing labors the Univer- sity Base Hospital Was spared the necessity of paying to the local chapter of the Red Cross some eight to ten thousand dollars for hospital supplies. One of the many difficult problems confronting the organ- izers of Base Hospitals has been the selection of a sufficient number of properly qualihed nurses. This important task Was delegated to Miss Edith B. lrwin, Chief General Sur- gical Clinic Nurse of the University Hospital. The long list of well-tried and carefully trained nurses that appears on the roll of the University Base Hospital is sufficient proof of the rare good judgment and skill which she has exercised in making her choice. The prompt, Widespread, and Willing response with which her appeal for volunteers was met by the 71 nurses of the University Hospital eloquently bespeaks their loyalty and patriotism. . The medical oflicers of this Base Hospital represent all the varied specialties of medicine and surgery. In almost every instance these officers not only received their medical educa- tion at the University of Pennsylvania, but for many years have been intimately identified with the Medical School and Hos- pital of that institution. Well known to each other person- ally and closely associated professionally, there can be no doubt about the spirit of co-operation and team work with which these officers will approach their new duties. Under the experienced direction of the commanding officer, Major Thomas Hg Johnson of the regular Army Medical Corps, the eflicient management and success. of the hospital both from a military as well as a medical viewpoint is assured. There has been established a Welfare Committee for the University Base Hospital No. Z0 under the chairmanship of Mrs. Edward Martin, with headquarters in the University of Pennsylvania Hospital. This Committee will serve as the connecting linkbetween the personnel and needs of Base Hos- pital No. Z0 over there and the relatives and friends of the personnel who remain at home. United States Army Base Hospital No. Z0 stands today thoroughlyorganized, mobilized and ready because of the unselfishness, devotion, and patriotism not of any small coterie but of the many, from all classes, of the sons and daughters, friends and supporters of the University of Pennf sylvania. No matter what the future may hold in store for this Base Hospital, no matter where or how it may be called upon to serve, its members, one and all, inspired by the con- sciousness that they represent in fact as well as in name the united power of a great University, go forth determined to be worthy of the loyal support they have received and eager to add new achievements and honors to the already glorious traditions of their Alma Mater. l 72 1+ X My Selection IBY E. L. ELIAsoN.j My comrades, when I'm no more drinking But sick With gout or palsey, lie, Exhausted on my sick bed sinking, Believe me, I don't Want to die. I hope that this day or to-morrow My nurses' record will be made, With proper signs of grief and sorrow By one of 'l8's Class?-a maid. But when Ilm forced to my selection Of Whois the night nurse and the day, I know not how to make decision, But look you over with much dismay. So line up now and listen carefully To characteristics for once laid bare, By a patient perhaps, a doctor, surely, Before he leaves you for over there. Elizabeth Clement still starts the list, With traits of character that can't be miss'd. Katharine Conard, I can't pass you by, Your eyes make one give death the lie. Grace next steps into nursing line, Her talking stop,-that sleep be mine. Marie C. in many ways O.K. Leave may want for home each day. Frances, I fear must be caught on Wing For her records on time in every thing? Soft-spoken, baby talking, retiring Irene, lVIy delirium would soothe to peace serene. lVIarie Day, your name puts your right, For every perfect day there must be 'llightf' Tho' Lil. smoothes a pillow with never a dent Being nursed by her might be pun,'ishment. Your name, Betsy Dick, belies your sex, For a male nurse they tell me is sure to Vex. 73 Cf Matilda, tho' a blonde and an upstanding maid, Not knowing her better, I am afraid. With her ardent love of weekly Pathe, With me, Josephine would be too blase. Bess Greenfield, for someone else I would save, For I dislike very much a bladeless shave. Lucretia, president, pride of the flock, To take you away would give them a shock. Beatrice, I fear wouldnbungle my chart, And Sifghsj, not mine, would find 'Sway to her-hardt Little. Jones, tho' a dispeller of gloom, I I fear is too quiet for my sickroom. I Clive we like you tho' one fault I find, Too many hair-pins for nurse of mine. Cecile, already your interest is chained, So no interest for me tho' badly I'm maimed. Lydia Martin, you -are a good nurse and true, But of those who know you I'm not one of the few. Mildred, I fear, in giving the doctor the news, Might change all her V's into Wis. Micky'-s all right tho' she engenders the fear, She can't cover one's head and leave out their ear. Della Miller, the one with hair wavy and brown, A great help would be without her frown. Annie, Scotch lassie, in a sickroom might fit, For when patient is fixed she surely can knit. , Anna Noel, being 23rd on the list, Should not be skidoo, for she'd greatly be missed. The writer not ,knowing Mary Ridall so well Doesn't feel at liberty her faults to tell. Catharine Schragen, who's boss of ,em all, Might well nurse a man but never a doll. Mary Stambaugh, I'm free to confess, I Youlve buffalo-ed me like all the rest. Kathryn Stiner, you'd be too good for me, I find you're called lVIiss Efficiency. Nan, my girl, you too have a failing That noticed would be by patient ailing. 74 Elizabeth Walker might fit just right, If she sang by day and not by night. Louise Warner, so I've been told, Bids fair to be trapped in that game of old. My attention last falls on Louise West, Tho' last on the list, she's one of the best. You could not do as some before you, Who'Ve let their national ardor cool, When your country calls upon you Bring dishonor on your school. Qur soldiers can depend forever On this Class at U. of P., Slackers found among you?-never. You'll stand true to your country. And When ye back to health youlre bringing, Remember what I say is true, These little faults you think me finding, Are traits that bind me close to you. All you nurses We like, adore. When sickness threatens, and before The danger past, you are all requitted, The pain is forgot, the nurse oftl plighted. Now yoU aRe Sure E cenSored 75 E. L.

GJ ln 1915 there came to pass The entrance in this Hospital of a wonderful class. lt starts with Gussie, with McAlevage it ends, It is rich in enthusiasm, in talents and friends. VVe have found these friends from the Directress- on, But the ones we will sing of are the ones who are gone. The dear old residents when we were young, The full sum of ourifeelings could never be sung. They taught us and praised us and helped us all through, They were friends of the deepest and truest of blue. First c.omes Tommyi' Llewellyn, He was chief when we came And now he is rapidly rising to fame. ' He taught us Medicine-what to give and to take And to always be careful for our own and his sake. Then Bunny Leopold, conscientious and true, . He was the one we always looked to. H When we were in wrong he would get us in, right He was our modern up-to-date knight. When Dr. Prosser departed our midst, lt was certainly terrible the way he was missed. He was kind and thoughtful to us, young and old, The fires in his shrine will never grow cold. Oh, Richard, my King -his last name is Kern, The more we know him the more we do learn Each time that his highness trods through the hall Some maiden's heart patters, and Hutters and falls Then David Farley, who has gone to the West, He stands in our memory ason-e of the best. . He was kind and courteous, clever and bright, He would come to our rescue by day and by night. 80 7 Then Wally Frank was a surgeon rare, He taught us to dress with the utmost care. In return for his goodness, we would look up his friend And carry his messages, which were quite without end. Harry Willson was a specimen rare From the breezy West, he gave us good care. When he was Chief made us put on high shoes, And dress right warm lest our health we should lose. Steve Simmons from Noth', Carolina blew in, The way he smashed hearts was shuly,' a sing But still he is a friend of the deepest-dyed blue, And itls hard to drop old ones and turn to the new. Doctor Ralph Goldsmith is clever and fine, The care of the nurses is quite in his line. The next remark you will have to let pass, For a certain good reason he is quite fond of our class. Then Dr. Hamilton, where is he now? We will never forget his polit-e little bow. He was good to us all and to his patients, too, I am sure his acquaintance we will never rue. Then came handsome Tom Hale, so polished and sweet He had every female down at his feet. This didn't hurt Thomas, he went his own way, ,And did as he pleased by night and by day. Then arrived Dr. Bates, who is as square as he's round A match to this William is hard to be found. He was jolly and kind and everyon-e's friend, His string of good points are quite without end. 'Twas Dr. McCouch, tho, who honored us most, His love for our class is no empty boast. He showed 'his good taste and picked out Cecile, She inflicted a wound impossible to heal. Friends of our Training where'er you may be, Abroad or at home, on land or on sea, We will never forget you, your memories are green, You are always the friends of the Class of '18. S1 The American Red Cross IBY BERTHA J. WoLD, R. Nj Since war broke out in 1914, and especially since our en- trance into the war, the American National Red Cross has sprung from a verytminor institution to one of tremendous power. We had at the beginning very few members, active or honorary, and now many of all our citizens, and all of our intelligent ones have joined. We have borne our share of the work abroad and with great credit to us as a nation. Practically, at first, the nursing corps composed most of our Red Cross, and in comparison with the number of graduate nurses in the U. S., this number was not large. Since war has been declared, most of our younger nurses have taken their State Board examination as soon. as possible, and have joined the Red Cross at once. So we have today a large number of eflicient women, ready for duty at home or abroad, who are loyal and self-sacrihcing, thinking only of the welfare of others. ' r ' The other departments, into which our Red Cross has been divided, are as follows: T ' l. Dietetics. Z. Transportation. 3. Home Nursing. 4. First Aid. 5. Surgical Dressings. The course in Dietetics has so far not been a very popular one. It seems as if the women, although cooking is one of the most important things in their line, would much rather be nearer the Held of action? than in the kitchen. But per- haps their natural instincts will exert themselves so strongly, some day, that they will Hood. our department of Dietetics. sz The department of Transportation has had, and is having, its hands full. With all the millions of things made, such as garments, surgical dressings, etc., they have been a busy people and have accomplished wonders. And we must say to their credit, that with all the hardships and disadvantages under which they have worked, they have been most successful. Through them our supplies have in safety reached the other side. . Home Nursing is a course, of fifteen lessons taught by a Red Cross nurse who has been authorized from Washington, as a teacher. She receives 51545.00 for the said course, which is both practical and theoretical. . At the end of fifteen lessons the class is examined by an examiner, and a certificate sent from Washingto.n. This does not mean that a pupil is a nurse, but it does mean that she may serve as a nurse's aid, if needed. Such service is strictly voluntary. The First Aid Course must be taught by a doctor who has been authorized to do so. He is paid 54.00 a lesson, which also consists of Hfteen lessons to a course. Certificates are also given if this examination hasbeenf passed. At the completion of Home Nursing and First Aid Courses, the members of the classes sometimes take a three months' course in a hospital, which serves to gather up the loose ends, make them more efiicient, and rounds out their course as a nurse's aid. Most important of all these departments is the garment and surgical dressing' department. They are most strict in their way of doing things, and are putting out enormous amounts of work. The instructor in this department need not be a nurse, but she must have had a course in this work. All over the country, in small villages, intermediate towns, and in cities, if you could see at a glance, you would find women working morning, noon and night, knitting, sewing, and making sur- gical dressings. Most of them are busy women, too, who have homes to care for and business toattend to, and still willingly, ss l i if they have an- hour to spare, will join these busy work rooms where so much good is being done. We have a splendid course here in our own city, at 221 S. l9th Street, with Miss Anna Rogers as Chief Supervisor, formerly Directress of Nurses at U. of P. Hospital. They graduate a great number of classes, and at once, these women are snatched up to teach in some part of the country where they have no instructor. The American Red Cross has grown wonderfully, and we are proud of it. The war has brought out the best in the character of America. You, the class of 1918, who will soon be graduated from a splendid Hospital, will be in a position to do a wonderful lot of good, either at home or abroad. Are you going to swell the number of the Nursing Corps who are willing to give much, if not all, to their Red Cross, or are you going to sit back and idly look on as the busy world passes your door? Fate has placed a wonderful opportunity in your path, for never againlin our life-time will we have a chance to help win right, in such a war as this. Think it over seriously for it is an age of Service and Sacri- fice. We who are young and strong, must take the places of our nurses who have already given their best years and strength to the service of the Red Cross. For 'f'After the verb :To Love,' 'To Help' is the most beautiful verb in the worldf' 84 Prophecy my A. c. Mg r May, 1947. Twenty-nine years! The world has surely changed in that time. VVhen I last remember Old Mother Earth the nations were at warg men were being killed by thousands every day, women were doing the work of men on farms, street cars, in factories, oflices, etc. Nation had declared war upon nation until the human race was in one huge turmoil. After ten years fighting peace again reigned, and today the world is a more peaceful, prosperous place than it has ever been. There is now only one navy composed of battleships, submarines, etc., from all countries. Every country has its own President elected by the people anld annually a convention is held by the presidents and diplomats of every country to make laws and maintain peace. Women now hold prominent positions in the world's government and some of the most skilled avia- tors and sailors are women, but so far a woman President has not ruled the U. S. A. I wonder where my classmates are! VVhen I bade them farewell in Houston Hall twenty-nine years ago, they all looked happy and cheerful. Some were contemplating mat- rimony, and others had mapped out wonderful careers for themselves. Have they been successful, or have they, like Robbie Burns, found out the best laid plans o' mice and men gae aft aglee, and leave us nocht but grief and pain for prom- ised joys P I will take my aeroplane and tour the world until I find them. On the steps of the fountain in front of the Plaza Hotel in New York a woman is lecturing on Women's Rights. She is very enthusiastic, and from the applause she receives, she is evidently very popular. As I look at her I recognize my ss classmate, Betty Walker. Think of Betty lecturing on Women's Rights! She had tried matrimony but found it less enjoyable than she anticipated, so divorced her better half and became the leader of Suffrage. On the Hudson I stopped for some time to look at the Worldfs Fleet, which arrived in the harbor a few days ago. Looking through my telescope at the Flag Ship, I was sur- prised to see Irene Crofts standing on the bridge giving orders to her men. She is First Sea Lord of the Admiralty. She is as pretty as ever and as great a favorite with her sailors as she was with her classmates of 'l8L In'Philadelphia I saw Anna Noel. She is no longer Miss Noel. Her soldier boy returned from France and Anna did not long resist Cupid's arrow. She lives on Chestnut Street an-d is very happy with her two little girls, who are the very .image of herself, particularly the color of her hair. , With Anna I visited the U. of P. H. and who should we meet there but Marie Collobert. She has charge of the Oper- ating Room in the new surgical building. HCollie rules clinic with 'a firm hand, giving justice to all and partiality to none. She is well liked by surgeons and pupil nurses, teach- ing the latter efhciently and strictly. To all appearances Collie is contented' and has given up the idea of packing her trunk as she was inclined to do in training. In the diet kitchen we saw Mildred May. She' succeeded Miss Barr and now teaches the pupil nurses dietetics, a subject she always loved. . Lillie Deimler returned to Hummelstown. She specialed forsome time, then married a wealthy young man, whom she nursed through a prolonged siege of typhoid fever. On the lawn of a large country mansion in Bryn Mawr I saw a woman, and by her side a handsome boy. The woman was tall, dark, and good looking, and I could not mistake my class- sa mate, Beatrice Howard. Her husband, who was a student when we were in training, is now Professor of Surgery at the U. of P. . Grace Cooper is Private Secretary to the President of the United States, and resides in Washington. The President is a quiet elderly gentleman who talks but little. Whe'n speeches have to beumade he is substituted by his clever secretary who always was- gifted with a wonderful vocabulary. Before leaving VVashington I visited the Aviation Camps and there met Lydia Martin. She is Captain of the Corps. Lydia was always interested in flying, so when her brother resigned she took his place, and many a daring feat she has accomplished. Turning my aeroplane west I' next visited Arizona. Here I found Katharine Stiner married to the owner of the Cross Triangle Ranch. She lives a happy outdoor life and can handle a bucking broncho as well as a Hkicking patient. i. In Santa Barbara I saw Lucy McAlevage. She had the misfortune of having her arm amputated in a railway acci- dent, and is now recuperating in the sunny land of California. In spite of this Lucy is as gay as ever and still giggles in her old peculiar way. Olive Keebler has established a hospital in Vana Levu, the largest of the Fiji Islands. It has been such a success that hospitals are now being erected on the smaller islands, over all of which Olive is superintendent. - ln Auckland, New Zealand, there is a large modern labora- tory, the largest and best equipped in the world. Here I found Elizabeth Clement. Clem had always a fascination for hunting bugs, and has been successful in isolating many germs which puzzled the human race. Marie Day has fulfilled her promise of going to the Philip- pines, and there she is in charge of the Social Service work. Happy's hobby is taking care of orphans and neglected chil- 87 dren. Many a noble man and woman have to thank Happy for the care and guidance she gave them in their youth. Crossing through China I saw Frances Cramer, whois President of the Women's Board of Foreign Missions. At present she is making a tour of inspection. Frances drives her own car on- the trip as she despises aeroplanes and still be- lieves that a 4Fordl' can go where others fail: p In Cairo I met Josephine Frantz. For years she was ,Clinic Nurse to one of our Chiefs, but when his health failed, and he was forced to travel the earth in search of a new constitu- tion, Josephine went with him and is now his devoted and faithful nurse. Josephine was always well liked by her-male patients, and evidently there is no chan-ge in her disposition. Scutari, the largest city now remaining to the Turks, is in an epidemic of typhus fever and cholera. On the site of the Old Barrack Hospital, where Florence Nightingale and her faithful nurses cared for the wounded British and French soldiers' in 1854, stands a new modern hospital. It is larger than the Old' Barrack Hospital and 'accommodates some Hve thou- sand patients. In the Superintendent's office of this huge in- stitution sits Lucretia Guss, who was President of our Class of 'l8. She is an ideal superintendent and her name is as well known as Florence Nightingale's. However, Gussie is about to resign in favor of a home 'fjust for two. The lucky gentleman was formerly a resident at the U. of P. H. and is now Physician in Charge of the new hospital in Scutari. Situated on the Persian side of the Shat-el-Arab is an ori- ental bungalow, and here Della Miller resides. Years ago she married a physician whom she had known since childhood, and as the fairy tales say, lived happy ever after. May Ridall married a Russian Count, who was turned out of the Duma for trying to re-establish an autocratic govern- ment. He was forced to leave Petrograd, and now he and his ss 1 wife live a quiet and secluded existence in an old chateau near Nijni Novgorod. In Lausanne I met Mary Stambaugh. She has given up nursing and gone back to her old profession, music. People from far and near are taught by her, and her concerts which she gives monithly for the benefit of the poor are enjoyed by thousands. In spite of her success, Stam is as modest and reserved as she was in training. Nan Thompson is spending her honeymoon at Chateau D'0eX in Switzerland. Nan has always had a great desire to see Europe and vowed she would not marry until she found some wealthyman who would take her around some. At Chamonix on the side of Mount Blanc I met Julia Jones. People do not climb the mountain now-a-days as Julia has an aeroplane in which she takes them to and from the summit for the grand sum of fifteen francs. It is her great delight to point out the different battlefields of Europe to the tourists and to give her opinion of the war. Julia was always very decided in her opinions. In place of the Kaiser's palace in Berlin there is a small residence, built after the American style of l900, and here lives Mathilde Dorner. She is the first President of the German Republic, and rules her people well. She is a great favorite with them, and is a very intimate friend of the Presi- dent of the U. S. A., whom she has known for years. Cecile Keivits returned to her native land after the war was over. She is married, but takes an interest in the Belgian hospitals and schools. Her husband is the most famous neu- rologist of the day, and Cecile, who has everything she could possibly wish for, is extremely happy. In Heligoland I saw Katherine Schragen. The island is no loniger a German fortress, but on it there is a large institution for drug fiends. People afflicted with this awful disease come from all parts of the world. The Lambert treatment is car- so ried out successfully and men and women return to their pro- fessions and trades cured. Katherine originated the idea of treating these fiends on an island where it was impossible for them to escape and has labored long and patiently before seeing the fruits of her efforts realized. . A few of 'my classmates I found in Paris. This city has changed but little and is still the scene of much gaiety. On the Avenue Bois du Boulogne there is a large beauty parlor This is owned by Katherine Conard. Beauty is not obtained by paint and powder but by healthful living, outdoor exercise, etc. These subjects are taught by Katherine, who is a living example herself, and the Frenchmen of today look for beauty of this type rather than the old-fashioned 'cput on complexion. T At Neuilly-sur Seine stands the American Hospital. Louise Warner is Directress of Nurses, and the pupils all love their pretty little Directress, who is their friend as 'well as their teacher. I received the surprise of my life when I visited. an ancient convent on the Rue Pierre Charron, and found Bess Green- fieldwas Mother Superior. Bess has completely changed since our training' days. She is quiet and subdued, and her face has an angelic expression. The garb of Mother Superior is exceedingly becoming to her. Crossing the English Channel I 'next visited the Royal Infirmary at Edinburgh. As I walked along the main cor- ridor towards the Matron's Office, where I knew I could Hnd Elizabeth Dick, I 'met a Highland nurse coming from there. By her downcast expression I judged that the interview with the Matron had not been very pleasant, and as I reached the door I heard Elizabeth murmur to herself as she slowly shook her head, Ay, I aye ken'd they were gie queer folk that cam' frae the Hielandsf' Turning my aeroplane north I stopped at Amulree, where I hoped to see Annie lVIurdoch. It is evening of a beautiful 90 4 i day in August, the heather is in bloom, and the hills look majestic as the setting sun tinges their peaks with gold. The scene is very peaceful. There is nothing to disturb the quiet- ness of this lonely spot. As I look towards the south I spy an aeroplane high above the Sma' Glen hills. It is so high in the sky it appears just like a tiny speck. I stand fascinated as I watch this speck grow larger and larger. Finally it alights near my own machine, and I recognize Ann. She is delighted to see me, and to be home again. Curious to know what she has been doing since she graduated I asked her, and was amazed to hear that she has been up in Mars for twenty-two years nursing the exiled Kaiser. In Ireland, besides the Lakes of Killarney, and within walk- ing distance of the Blarney stone, is an old castle. Louise West lives here with her husband, who had been a schoolmate of hers. He emigrated to America when quite a young man, made a fortune, then returned to his native Isle and married the love of his youth. My classmates all seem happy and well blessed with this world's goods, so having finished my trip I will bid Mother Earth again farewell, and go back to the Land of Nod. .91 Alumnae Association Training School for Nurses of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania OFFICERS ' President MISS ELIZABETH SHAW, R.

The union of graduates for mutual help and improvement, the promotion of fellowship among its members, and the advancement of the best interests of professional nurses. The Association has in the past been actively engagedin the work of organization, in 1902 having appointed a Committee from the Alumnae to call a meeting of the nurses of the state to organize the 'Graduate Nurses Association of the State of Pennsylvania. The Nurses' Philadelphia County Asso- ciation, organized February 12, l903, was started by the Alumnae. These associations worked for the bill of nurses registration, which was successfully carried through legisla- ture. 93 In 1905 the Alumnae appointed a committee to call a meet- ing of the Alumnae Association of Philadelphia to organize a Club for Nurses. This organization formally opened its Club House, May 25, l907. The Association owns a cottage at Devitts Camp, Allen- Wood, Pa., Where nurses who have tuberculosis may come back to health, being attended by' the physicians and nurses of the camp. She may do her own cooking or take her meals at the dining-room provided for other patients at the camp. Other members when sick also have privilege of room and care at reduced rates in University Hospital through the kind- ness of the Board of Managers.

The pioneer band to blaze the trail into the new field comprised four senior nurses: Miss Hurd, Miss Dinsmore, Miss Stratton and Miss MacDonough. No doubt they will all establish fur- ther claim to men-tion in the pages of history, but however this may be, their place in the annals of the Social Service Depart- ment is assured for all time. The promise of this hrst group of nurses has been well fulfilled by their successors, the plan may be said to have passed the experimental stage and to be in a fair way to become an immemorial tradition. There are good results already discernible from the pres- ence of the nurses in the Social Service Department. Through the first-hand knowledge they obtain of the work and their resulting interest in it, the Department is more closely linked with the wards than heretofore, and there is better co-ordina- tion between medical and social treatment. This is of course greatly to the advantage both of the Hospital and of the Social Service Department. Usually the nurses Hnd their interest in the patients deep- ened and broadened by the experience of going into their homes. Thissame experience arouses or intensifies their in- terest in public health, now so important a section of the Held of nursing. More and more niurses are going into public health Work, and medical social service should offer nurses still in training gO0d opportunity to judge its value and possibilities, and so help them in choosing their special line of nursing after grad- uation. Several of the 'Social Service Nursesn have already decided upon some form of public-health nursing as their future work. 93 But whatever career any human being may choose or have thrust upon him or her Qshort of that of a hermit or a Robin- son Crusoej, experience in social work should not come amiss. just as knowledge gained in all sorts of other fields is helpful in social service, so the insight, resourcefulness and breadth of vision which good social work must develop are of use in all other vocations, in institutional nursing, in private nursing, in public-health nursing, also in matrimony and in the gentle art of being a neighbor and a citizen. VVe need not remind those who have read the first chapter of f'Social Diagnosis that social science has its bearing on the work of the doctor, the lawyer, the clergyman and the educator, to all of whom it owes so much. lt is a broad conception of the meaning of social service that our Department means to give its students, rather than a mastery of technical detail, for which they have neither time nor inclination. Such a conception must, to be sure, like the sky-scraper, have a concrete foundation, and fo it must be built not on talk alone Qthough talk is not to be despisedj, but also on practical and thorough case work. VVe do not forget the facts or the prinicples which have been brought to our knowledge by obstacles which we have over- come in the sweat of our brows, therefore we study sociology not from books so much as from the daily life of lVIr. and Mrs. john Doe and the nine little Doe children. Yet, after all, the variety of problems and methods that can be covered in two months' experience is limited, no one can become a trained social worker in so short a time. VVhat can be done an-d the one thing needful to do is to get a social point of view. r that reason The social point of view is by no means confined to social . Wfe all know socially-minded people in every walk of life. They consider individual persons in their rela- 99 wo rke rs tion to each other, and human society as a Whole. It is' this frame of mind that University Hospital nurses Will help to develop in Whatever community they enter. If the Social Service Department is able to help the- nurses to do this, We shall, through them, exert an education.al force reaching far- ther than We can calculate. It is for them to make social service effective in this Way and in this Way to make effective the old truth that 'Uno man liveth unto himself.

O 107 - GOING OVER THERE t , Social Events One February night, two years ago, was the scene of big people and little people, arrayedin fancy costume, somedeep- dyed as the rainbow, .others wearing the ethereal tints of fairyland. At this festivity we enjoyed our first Masquerade Party, with Miss Smith as hostess. S We recall such figures as, 'cDickery, Dickery, Dockfl Col- umbia, Ghosts, 'fFather Time, The Head Nurse, 'Thc Sailor Boy, etc. After awarding prizes for the three best costumed guests, a refreshing luncheon was served, after which music and dancing were continued. ' It is almost needless to remind you that just such another function was our pleasure last February, through the kindness of Miss Smith. On July 10th, a big omnibus, drawn by four stalwart horses, carried a jolly crowd of Seniors from the trolley station to ws Dr. Martinls farm. Because of Dr. Martin's former hospital- ity, we anticipated our host's big and noble heart, and while we were going over there our joy was overflowing, as to the reality in a few minutes, ofa canoe to paddle, blackberries and gooseberries to gather, hills to climb, fields of new-mown hay to rake, the use of an automobile, a courtfor tennis, rose arbors to meander beneath, and last but not least, the partak- ing of a sumptuous feast. Music and dancing afforded much pleasure, and after the setting of a golden sun and adieuing our hostess, Mrs. Martin, we again' boarded our omnibus car singing favorite melodies enroute to the trolley station. A day spent on Dr. Martin's farm will ever be remembered. The Senior Farewell Party, given in honor of Miss Smith, Miss Hayes, Miss Snyder an-d Miss Stephenson, was a very pleasant event, marking the close of our affiliations, but the beginning of a broader and deeper field of usefulness. UKULELE CLUB 109 Improvements The changes Which' have been brought about the last year have so increased the comfort of the nurses, that We feel they deserve' mention. Wit'h the opening of the Home for Probationers at 3608 Walnut St. it Was found necessary to enlarge the diningfroom. This has been done by reiitting a portion of the basement in such a manner that the Special Nurses and Probation Class now enjoy' a large Well-lighted, Well-ventilated and attractive dining-room. During the month of November the ofiice of Home Sister Was established. This position is held for a short time by a senior nurse, Whose duties are to attend to the Welfare, interest and condition of the nurses in the home. In this Way all the minor ills and troubles are discovered and given attention. This position fulfills a long-felt Want and is much appreciated by all. Day nurses now go off duty at 7 PM. instead of 7.30 PM., and night nurses are relieved for two hours nightly. These changes are greatly beneficial to nurses and patients. As so many pleasant events have taken place this last year We are presuming enough to ask for one more, which we hope Will come about in the near future. Namely, the one after- noon a Week allowed the nurses, to begin at lunch time. Tl1iS Would. constitute a long afternoon. 110 E J 1 1 i 1 I E fgfi? f 1, Z 21 , a1 -gi 1 - ..,, ,F --L:L:D- My 77L,Z I, --,xv 2 ' ,. .. -Harb iz Cf -:ilk 'I .712 1' 77- ,h Aff- tl 11 .

Oh for a fire upon that grate To shine forth warmth and light, And give some cheer to this sad state This cold and lonesome night! Upon the grate there,s heaps of wood,- The fire has ceased to burn, And I have done the best I could The reason why to learn. It needs a hand, ah! that I know! A soul to give the fire, ' A heart to make the embers glow While I sit by as sire! A face of smiles will give the light The heart most needs I'm sure, To make my long and wintry night Most easy to endure. A soft and gentle hand near by, To make it seem quite real, Perhaps in mine, and that is why I think it most ideal! A cozy house all my own 3 Not what it is, but holds, That thrills me while I am alone, And dreaming of the coals! Alas these are but empty dreams My powers cannot fulfill! Forever as I am it seems, Alone, so quiet, so still! Go forth into the world my heart, While you are full of life, Be broken, torn and rent apart, But bring me back a wife! 112 W Ov! XXQJV-fs.

How many little kind things are recorded of him he never suspects or knows. , Dr. McMaster moves about with all the ear-marks of a surgeon. His busi- like rocedure sympathy and kindly manner has won him many friends ness- ' p , in the very start of his career. Good luck to you, Dr. Mcllflaster. . Then comes Dr. Thenebe, no one knows him but to love him and he in turn generally returns this affection with 65? interest. I think he has about ' h l . He the longest list of hearts involved of any man in the fourt -year c ass h' b ll m tly, which is a test of efficiency in is a good worker and answers is e pro p a resident in these strenuous times. Speaking of Dr. Hoon I can say little except that he is a modest man, for he objects to telling his name only when absolutely necessary. I know of one most excellent trait-he is fond of the kiddies, and I feel sure the medical man who loves kiddies and dogs is in the right place. XVe always respect the Resident jerry adopts. Dr. Smith who arrived in company with Dr. Schmidt is in the latter class, for he seems devoted to VVard G. Dr. Reed is a generally all-around useful many and what is more useful than a useful man? He will be a success. If Dr. Hoehn keeps up his present gait through life he will be a millionaire. ' He is on time and always on the job. He looks deadly in earnest. and in the future we hope to see him with an ollice on Chestnut Street after the war isover. Now for Dr. Cook. He possesses the hrownest eyes and greatest heart Eve have yet found. He is a little hit ot a Quaker at heart. for he wants to o what the spirit moves hun to do, and you sometimes have to move his sympathies to accomplish your end, but he is always a gentleman. h- Welillre .enigma uh with Ur.
