To the Class of IQIQ: I , ' ' ' ' , . d t'n class of just a few parting words from the residents of the Hospital to our noble and dear gra ua 1 g H . - ' for it was not at a nurses. We were very much tempted to omit the noble part of the above salL1t2lf10Ui , . . - ' h than ours. On necessary. We know of no profession or walk in life that is less tainted with selfis ness . g Y the other hand, it was impossible for us to address you merely as our de,arkgragt12QgI1g1if1353g 35155 Igfgtulgflfigx hospital etiquette to use such familiar terms. Were. each one of us to spea 1111 H31 Uh Yin not only in Words already done, quite a differ-ent story would be written. A few of us have a rfgllgfl-5 SW i C some of ous but in actions, how we miss you and will miss you as you leave the Hospital. U U y ADH - f th Cnior number have even decided that they cannot live without the presence of the inspiring in UCHCC O C S class of the Hospital. This is but an expression of our whole attitude. t Although we have known you for only a very short time, and our acquaintance-has by no means been encouraged, we know it will be a long time before the University Hospital will again have such 21 Cl2lSS 38 yours. It seldom happens that such an eHicient class as yours can combine with it an appreciation of humOr and common sense. We hope you will always retain this combination, as we run across the lack of it too often to make our daily work a continual pleasure. We shall never forget the willingness and promptness with which you have always carried out our requests. Always ready and never too busy, has been your spirit toward us. We cannot see how you did it on seven dollars a month and the uniforms you bought or obtained otherwise from a predecessor. - VVe have seen over and over again little touches of kindness that have been showered on the patients of the Hospital by your class Qto say nothing of the alcohol rubs at nightj. They. have been a great lesson to us and one that we shall never forget. Too often has a patient been a patient to us but to you they have - . , ' 'C always-been human beings. Many a time have we taken the credit of them in such a state where Utheir con- dition is about the s ' 1 h ' . ame, on y t e real truth has been the gentle touch and kind words of one of your mem- bers. Wewill never be able to appreciate what it means to stand hour by hour alon the bed 'd f u u g si e o a poor soul who is about to pass across the great divide, trying to comfort him until he has apparently ceased to breathe. ' ' . In conclusion let us express our extreme interest in your future as has be d ' , 1 en one in a few individual casies. It is not necessary to say that you will all be very successful Your work here has proven that. We on yhope that you will treat your husbands as you have treated your patients and not forget your nurse's training. THE RESIDENTS. 38
