To the Training School Committee We leave one night each month to meet with the Student Body. at THE LADIES' AID SOCIETY Two years after the charter was granted to the Lake View Hospital As- sociation the Ladies' Aid Society of the hospital was organized and the same year the Training School of Nursing was incorporated. The Aid Society had for its aim in organization the aiding of the corporate Board of Management in the development and maintenance of the Hospital and the School of Nursing and through the years this dual object has ruled its activities. During the early years the women assumed much of the responsibility of the housing of the school. They furnished rooms for the nurses, first, in the hospital buildings, and then when the growing hospital needs forced the school out they rented and bought cottages to care for it. As the school en- larged, especially during the time when the State Council of Defense was sending Women to Lake View for training, proper accommodations became exceedingly diflicult to secure. With anxious hearts the Women sensed the dangers and earnestly agitated for a building sufficient for the school's needs. They persuaded the Board of Trustees to adventure on the under- taking. They deeded their cottages to the Hospital Association. They campaigned for funds. They rejoiced in the laying of the corner stone and at last when the beautiful commodious residence was completed, they helped plan and buy its furnishings. The living room and library furnishings and some of the comfort touches in the individual rooms Were their gifts at that time. But to enclose the school with Walls has not been the main object of these valiant Women. Ever they have been ready to give of their time to make the special occasions of the school successful. Many have been the outings made more enjoyable by their presence and many labor saving facili- ties for the nursing force put into the hospital and home, but over and above all they have sought to stimulate the higher values, to help direct the school into a full and joyous spirit of service.
