Faculty We are indeed fortunate in having as our Assistant Principal, Miss Ruth Sleeper, a national figure in nursing. Ever gracious and charming, she gave us our first introduction to the Cadet Corps and now holds the position of Special Consultant. Her war activities include service on committees of the National Council for War Service and the National Committee of the Red Cross Nursing Service. At present she is President of the National League of Nursing Education, an honor that she well deserves. Though her activities carry her afar, she is ever mindful of the problems with which we students are faced and is always willing to talk them over and to give us the benefit of her vast experience. Miss Florence Kempf, Assistant Principal and Supervisor of Science In- struction, has played no small part in our careers here at M.G.H. It was she who undertook the prodigious task of rearranging our schedules to leave the last six months free for Cadet affiliations. Along with this she is taking courses at the Harvard Graduate School of Nursing and spends what free time she has in the country. She is at present on the Committee on Records of the National League of Nursing Education besides carrying out her heavy schedule of teaching and arranging programs and affiliations. Ever on the aiert to help us better ourselves, Miss Kempf is an excellent example of a successful and charming gentlewoman. Although we seldom come in contact with Miss Edna Lepper, our Assistant Superintendent of Nurses, she indirectly has influenced our nursing career many times. As seniors she advises and helps us to find our chosen field upon gradua- tion. Since the war she has been in charge of the Senior Cadets, seeing that they receive their six months’ affiliation or added experience in some desired field. Miss Lepper has often been responsible for the helpful services we have received from many of the volunteers in time of need. She is a soft spoken, un- assuming nurse to whom we give many thanks for so many things. Besides her many activities here in the hospital, she is also a member of the Massachusetts Council for War Service and the Greater Boston Procurement and Assignment Board. Our first introduction to nursing was given to us by Miss Sylvia Perkins, Assistant Principal of the School of Nursing and Supervisor of Instruction in Nursing. As preclinical students it was Miss Perkins who taught us our prac- tical and theoretical nursing, and as seniors, again she furnished us with a rich understanding and knowledge of the care of the sick in the home. During the last three years, Miss Perkins has directly been responsible for many revi- sions of nursing procedures and refinements of teaching methods to meet the need created by the tremendous increase of preclinical students from 172 ad- mitted in 1942 to 221 admitted in 1944. Miss Perkins has also helped to provide much of the improved equipment now available for use in classes throughout the three year period. Our Supervisor in Nursing Arts was a member of the National League of Nursing Education Committee on Films working with the U. S. Office of Education to produce a series of films for nursing. In her preparation of films here for nursing she has been a pioneer in this new method of teaching. Page Ten
