IIMIIIISS MART Qlll... GEJIIIIIQIIIQ lRllE5GlIllIllRllEBS Miss Mary Gill, R.N., who retired from Desk F-1 at the Mayo Clinic in March, 1948, has given us permission to share with our readers the fol- lowing significant information which has a great deal of meaning and is of interest to all Kahler graduates. Miss Gill was grad- uated from the nurs- ing school at St. Joseph's in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1905. After managing a hos- pital near Hinckley, Minnesota, she came to Rochester and was supervisor of nurses at the Chute Hospital, Cnow Parkside Hotelj for five years. In 1906 she accepted a posi- tion as the first nurse MARY J' GH-L at the Colonial Hotel- Hospital for convalescent patients. A year later when the Colonial was expanded and began to function exclusively as a hospital, Miss Gill be- came the superintendent of nurses. An article in the june issue of The Link, 1925, written by Lyla Olson and Roy VVatson Sr., and entitled History of the Kahler School of Nurs- ing described Miss Gill as one of the key people who had a part in the founding of the school. We quote as follows: At the outbreak of the VVorld VVar I., a great many of the Colonial nurses enlisted in govern- ment service. In fact the nurses throughout the land rallied to the country's call, making it difficult to secure nurses to take the places they had left in the hospitals. It was at this time that Dr. M. S. Henderson of the Mayo Clinic, Chief of Staff of the Colonial Hospital, and Miss Mary Gill, R.N., Superintendent of Nurses at the Colonial, recommended the establishment of a Training School to meet the emergency. The recommendation was accepted and the school was started under the name of the Colonial Training School. The first class was made up of thirty-five who entered for one year training for war service. Thus it might be said that the Kahler School of Nursing, fathered by Dr. Henderson and mothered by Miss Gill, was born in Rochester, Minnesota, at the Colonial Hos- pital, in September of 1918. . . . Miss Gill left the Colonial in August of 1919 to accept a responsible position at the Mayo Clinic.

The Link iltlllbiusirs llbiiaisesrbias Mrs. Eda L. Peterson Edith Mayo Hall Mrs. Ruth Bratager Maxwell Hall Mrs. Esther Van DeMark GQIIUIESA IIFGDIIR SllE5llNlllllflDllRS Seniors of the Kahler and St. Marys Schools of Nursing and post-graduate students from the Rochester State Hospital were guests at a tea at the Mayo Foundation House, Tuesday after- noon, May 23. Each guest was presented with a rose as she entered. Soft organ music provided a relaxing atmosphere as we roamed through the spacious rooms. Tea was served in Balfour Hall and stu- dents and faculty enjoyed the pleasure of visiting with old and new acquaintances. Miss Isabel Farr, of the Mayo Foundation, related the story pictured in the stain glass window. It portrays the evolution of medicine in educational, prac- tical and research fields throughout the ages. The seniors will treasure this afternoon as one of the many pleasant memories of their graduation activities. Lorraine Reedstrom Class of '50 Kahler Hall lIlDaQ4ME4l3QffX.lIf914kllilllR1IE5QfkG1IfllE9 On Sunday evening, May 21, as the Clinic chimes were striking eight, the class of 1950 in crisp white uniforms and red lined capes marched down the aisle of the Presbyterian Church to the familiar strains of Holy, Holy, Holy. The baccalaureate service was the first event of graduation week. The church choir sang Christ On The Upward Way and God Be In My Head. The Reverend Hugh B. jones, D.D., pastor of the church, gave the sermon Religion For A Life Of Service. He pointed out that we have three choices for our way of life: 1. What's yours is yours but I'll try to get it from you. 2. What's mine is mine and I'll keep it that way. 3. What's mine is mine but I'd like to share it with you. We cannot hope to be good nurses or people unless we choose to live by the third philosophy and share with others. VVe left the church with a fuller realization that we had chosen a wonderful profession. Lorraine Reedstrom Class of '50
