ur hiefs War has brought many changes in the lifelong habits of mankind in general. Physically we have learned to adjust ourselves to simpler modes of life, intellectually we have been stimulated in the pursuit of warring against war, morally we have learned anew the lesson of kindness and consideration for our fellow beings. These are some of the readjustments that war has wrought and which must endure for the beneht of mankind during peace times. These virtues, which the average man and woman have consciously cultivated during the past four years, are the very ones which the nurse by the very choice of her profession has consciously made her own. Simple living she owes to herselfg well-trained habits of mind she must have in her battle against disease, in which she represents the olhcers and privates indispensable to the medical general staff in the fight to end disease, kindness and consideration are the most essential adjuncts to her success in her calling. If I may be permitted to offer a word of advice to the noble band of women who are today more than ever the forces that make for constructive service, I should say: Let not the professional overshadow the personal element in your ministrations. The sick want all you have to offer in the way of knowledge and skill, but they also want your cheerful sympathy, in a word, your mothering, with all that expressive term implies. Surely the poet must have had a nurse in mind when he described 'fthe perfect woman, nobly planned, to warn, to comfort, and to command, and yet a Spirit, still and bright, with something of angelic lightf, fsignazy JOHN B. DEAVER. To the Illembers of the Class of 1919: I am very glad of the opportunity of congratulating you upon your choice of a profession, and also upon successfully completing the course in a school whose diploma I know you will always take pride in possessing. I You surely deserve the best the world has to offer, for you have earned it in preparing yourselves, by unremitting application for the most useful vocation open to you. ' , Please accept my very best wishes. ' fSignedj ALFRED C. Wooo. 20 , - ' ., , v g , . . Iv W I' ' t H- v W , . V, -. ' ,,,,,,i NI, -,,-.-, -...,..r..A-..,-.,-.U .-'f Af- -- - A ff f f- - --P -'
