It was not until the spirit of service was breathed into their souls that progress was made in the field of nursing, and, it is this spirit that has led them into the many branches of the profession. Nursing is one of the oldest arts. Ill animals used their instincts in caring for them' selves. The medical, surgical, and nursing traditions, however crudeg they regarded illness as work of evil spirits due to moral error up to the time of Hippocrates who set forth the theory that illness was not due to demons but to violation of nature's laws. Modern nursing has made wonderful progress in its efforts to serve humanity. The public must be educated to appreciate the immense contributions of Florence Nightingale and other pioneer nurses who have materially aided the profession in the conquest of dis' ease by rigorous systems of sanitation and a more thorough understanding of nature's laws, MA strong mind in a strong body is a worthy ideal. Each thoughtful nurse is mindful of higher ideals of service than that of her own adf vancement and is ever mindful of the fact that many contributions to the profession have been made to this one great field of service and with the aid of the outgoing doctors that the student nurses hope to give to the world more efhcient services. -ioi+---- I 1111411

Undergraduate Nurses Now you have heard it long before, and so, my friends, havel just live and love today, for on the morrow you die. So when you see those nurses, going down yon avenue Remember that they live and love, as other people do. They are not as cynical nor as stone faced as they seem. They love to joke and prank, and on the sly they scheme. And long shall they remember, the good old clinic days With your futile protests on appearance of their enemata trays. Yet diligently, untiring, they always do their best To keep a wanton soul from sinking on into the West. And sometimes when a higher law sends their plans asunder They pause for just a moment on God's amazing wonder. Their life is filled with romance, tinged with tragedy, Plus adventure, and just a bit of comedy. All in all it makes them, women brave and true, Enabling them to live and love, as was intended they should do. -T. Walls. .IUANITA CROW Kirlqsville, Mo. JEAN DEARMOND Carthage, Mo.
