As an alumnus you have now become our best public relations medium. You are the distilled essence of Methodist-Kahler. If anything lasting is to be achieved by us here, it must be reflected in you through your good performance and your belief in your school's goals. We hope Methodist-Kahler means a place where you received a sound edu- cation, a place where you made many lasting friendships, and a place where you can always return and find interest and a warm welcome.

The commencement events for the seniors this year began on Friday, Aug. 5, when the class and their adviser, Mrs. Phil Sternberg, gathered at the Town House for a breakfast. The Class of 1966 has the distinction of being the first class to receive its diplomas at an afternoon graduation exercise, all previous exercises have been held in the evening. The plan to move the program from evening to afternoon hours had been under consideration for some time since all commencement events have been scheduled for one day. Holding the graduation exercises in the afternoon allowed parents and friends to return to their homes that day without having to be on the highways so late. Another change in the over-all Commencement Day plans this year was omitting the afternoon faculty reception. ' b ' h t th e would not be adequate With baccalaureate at 10:30 a.m. and commencement at 4:00 p.m., it was o vious t a er ' I stead of the reception punch and cookies were served at the senior dormitories. time for a reception. n , At 10:30 a.m. on August 6, the seventy-eight seniors garbed in their white student uniforms for the last time, pro- ' ' ' d Al ' First Methodist Church to hear Dr. Winfield S. Haycock s baccalaureate sermon. Reveren quinn ceeded into the L. Toews, hospital chaplain, assisted with the service. I his sermon Dr. Haycock took as the basis of his message, three questions which a nurse in a hospital in Colorado n had asked him. Is a Christian always serene? Is there any one true religion? Who am I? He stated that he thought ' ' ' ' h k f the Bible these uestions were typical ones which confront young people today. Developing his theme, e spo e o C1 as the source and guide of rnan's conscience which IS the heart of our religion and our morality. There IS a tendency ' f however have been for every religious group to think of themselves as better than others. The ecumenical con erences, , beneficial because they emphasized things that unite groups as being more important than things that divide them. .., E .. , , , - . - x --, K , i 2 - - .

Toews, Dr. Winfield Therefore in our society, thoughtful, striving humans have the potential to find peace, as faith is experiencing God rather than proving Him, Dr, Haycock concluded his address by saying, You can't find religion until you know yourself that you are a child of God. At 4:00 p.m. at John Marshall High School auditorium, the forty-fifth commencement exer- cises opened with a colorful procession..The speaker chosen to deliver the address for the occasion was Dr. John Geier, Assistant Dean of the Summer School, University of Minnesota, and ,member of the Department of Rhetoric. fs, ., V af re, eff 27: ve Ifiivfg xy, 2164: -was ,Qu y 4, ,sv ttf f ' fl!

Dr. Geier, in his talk 'fThe Age of Understand- ingn, turned directly to the seniors at the beginning of his address and said, Mediocrity is a curse of our society. According to statistics twenty per cent of the American people are down-right lazy-intent on pleasing themselves. He compared our society with that of Rome, its deterioration, decay, erosion of high idealism, and downfall. MI ask you to do something about this, he said. He told the class to decry limited success, or just getting by. Many people are going to try to influence you. Don't think, I will take their place, rather, how much can I learn from them? Success doesn't come with- out individual eH'ort. He gave them four aims: make an effort to look at the Big Picture Qhow will my decision look ten yeorsfrom nowj, respect the opin- ions and positions of others, understand their views and perceptions, and take responsibility without fear? Dr. Geier concluded with these words, 'CAS you wear the garment and cap of knowledge, you must take up tasks which demand understanding, even of a person who might take your life. The diploma you receive today is only as good as the nurse who holds it. Mr. Howard W'inholtz presided, Reverend Alquinn Toews gave the invocation, Miss Eleanor Smith presented the candidates, and Dr. G. M. Needham awarded the diplomas. Mr. James A. Gillian, Administrative Aide to the President, Kahler Corporation, presented the H. Kahler Memorial Scholarship, and Dr. Minott Stickney, Vice Chairman, Board of Trustees, Mayo Founda- t1on, presented the Edith Graham Mayo and the Mayo Foundation Graduate Nurse Awards. The chorus, directed by Mr. Harold Cooke, sang 'cG1oria in Excelsisi' by Beethoven-Cooke, and I May Never Pass This Way Again by Melsher. i The H. Kahler Memorial Scholarship recip- ientiwas Trudy F atheree, Houlton, Wisconsin, and Judith Hamann, St. Paul, was alternate. The re- cipient of the Edith Graham Mayo Award, by the vote of the class, was janet Mickelson, Finley, North Dakota. Janet received a standing ovation from her class. The 1966 Mayo Foundation Graduate Nurse Award went to Miss Patricia Sleezer ,64, who for the past two years had been on the school staff as an assistant to an instructor in medical-surgical nursing.

CQIQQ june 1, a beautiful, warm, sunny day, found the Class of 1966 emerging from Maxwell and Edith Mayo Halls attired in their prettiest summer out- fits, complete with hats, gloves and heels. The oc- casion was the annual Mayo Foundation Tea given in honor of the seniors of Methodist-Kahler and St. Marys. s we walked u the curved driveway towards A P the house, we were impressed by the grandeur of the Foundation House, and the beauty of the flower gardens. In the reception hall we were greeted by mem- bers of the M-K and St. Marys, faculties and each senior was presented a long-stemmed rose. It was a privilege to roam through the house and yard and enjoy the beauty and elegance of this historical home. In Balfour Hall, on third floor, we viewed for the first time the famous stained glass window which depicts two thousand years of medical history and the inter-relationship of education, practice and research. Refreshments were served here and we had further opportunity to visit with students and faculty. We will always recall with pleasure the afternoon at the Mayo Foundation House. Susan Buske, '66 Quinton - Samoa CQauquet Happiness is . . . H was the theme of the J.-S. Banquet held in Heritage Hall on july 23, 1966. The programs, table, and wall decorations fea- tured Snoopy, Charles Schultzis puppy of the comic strip 'fPeanuts, and many of the happiness say- ings, plus some appropriate originals by the juniors. Judy Munger, junior, was toastmistress for the program, and Frances Peterson gave the blessing. Linda Tuttle, junior president, and Kathy Boyum, senior president, gave the welcome and response. Following the dinner, a group of the graduate exchange nurses known as the Filipino Dancersi' delighted the audience with several native dances. The guest speaker was Rochester's well-known Mr. Harley Flathers of KROC Radio Station. With his characteristically fluent style he pleased his audience by using both humorous and serious ideas in relation to Happiness is . . . One of the serious thoughts he emphasized was that each of us bas- ically desires to enrich our own and other's lives, and that in this we pursue the goal of happiness. Happiness for nurses, he thought, is doing for and with others, as we are in a position where we are able to view life from beginning to end. If we are good, we become a gift to humanity-and hap- piness is giving large or small. It was an evening our class will cherish, as hap- piness for us . . . was then being together. Kitty DeLaitsch '66 Coondimaton Qesigns Last June, Mrs. Donald R. Hansard, coordinator of i Medical - Surgical Nursing, resigned from her position and left Rochester with her three children for Fort Stew- art near Savannah, Georgia, where Dr. Hansard is as- signed for military duty. CJ Mrs. Hansard joined the M-K faculty in September MRS- D- R- HANSARD 1965. She holds a B.S. degree in Nursing from St. Louis University, and a M.S. degree in Nursing from Washington University, St. Louis, and had experience as a staff nurse in several hospitals and had been an instructor in Medical-Surgical Nurs- ing. Although her tenure at M-K was a short one Cten monthsj her contributions were many. Hers was a service dedicated to education and its improve- ment. Qtgt Kathy Boyum, senior president showing Miss Smith Cleftj and Mrs. Sternberg Crightl the adjustments on the sewing machine which the Class of 1966 gave to the school. A gift of a Singer Portable Style-Mate Standard Zig-Zag sewing machine was presented to the school by the class' of 1966. Kathy Boyum, senior class president, made the presentation at the Stu- dent Association meeting in August. This handsome practical gift will be kept at Max- well Hall. To identify the class as the donor of the sewing machine, Mrs. Phil Sternberg, class adviser, donated an engraved brass plate which is mounted on the base of the machine. This useful gift will no doubt keep the adress- makersi' at Maxwell Hall happy for many years to come. Thank you, Class of 1966. Competed in tJklationaQ Contest Judith Hamann '66, daughter of Mrs. Clifford Hamann of St. Paul, was selected by the faculty to compete in the 1966 na- tional Miss Methodist Student Nurse Contest. ,Hd ' Sponsored by the Na- t1onal Association of Methodist Hospitals and Homes and the General J 4 Board of Hospitals and E X Homes of the Methodist ' ' Church, the purpose of JUDITH this contest each year is to select a representative young lady who is sym- bolic of both the nursing profession and church- related occupations. Judith competed with candidates from all the schools of nursing in the United States who are affiliated with the National Association of Meth- odist Hospitals and Homes. According to the criteria, each candidate must be a senior student nurse, single, attractive, of high moral character, have a pleasing personality, be in the upper third of her class scholastically, display a professional interest in nursing, and be a person who views nursing as a means of fulfilling her Christian vocation. The student chosen to represent each school must submit a written biographical sketch, a brief per- sonality sketch to show how she views herself as a person, and a statement on Why I Chose the Nursing Professionu. At Methodist-Kahler Judith was an active stu- dent citizen. She was a member of the Travel Club Chorus, Student Council, Dormitory Council presi- dent, member of Uniform Inspection Committee, and this past year was vice president of her class, and secretary of Sixth District Minnesota Nursing Student Association. She was also a member of the Walther League of the Trinity Lutheran Church. Before enrolling at Methodist-Kahler, she attended the University of Minnesota in the School of Sci- ence, Literature, and Art, where she became very interested in Oriental culture and language, she continues to keep up this interest through self study and correspondence. The winner of this yearis contest was a senior student from Methodist Hospital, Brooklyn, N .Y. She was awarded a trip to Dallas, Texas, Feb. 15- 17, 1966, where she was the guest at the annual convention of the National Association of Methodist Hospitals and Homes and was presented in special ceremonies. Although Judith did not win this contest, she received the following commendation from the Di- rector of Cultivation of the Board of Hospitals and Homes, C'We congratulate you upon having been chosen to represent your school. This in itself is a signal honor and an experience to be cherished. Our prayer is that the remainder of your senior year be a fruitful and fulfilling experience and that the career of service which lies before you may bring you joy as you minister to human needs.

On March 7, 1966, room B13 at Kahler Hall, now known as the Student Store, opened for busi- ness and had M-K cap charms, nightshirts, and school stationery for sale. The idea to establish a central outlet where stu- dents could obtain these articles was suggested by Cheryl Alldredge '66 and Elizabeth Bice 166. In March 1966, these two seniors presented their ideas about a Student Store to the executive committee of the Student Association. They received a unani- mous vote of approval and the go-ahead signal for their enterprise. 27 In previous years the ordering and selling of the popular collegiate type specialty items had been done by interested groups, i.e., classes or organ- izations, as fund raising projects. Under this system, a great deal of time and effort had been spent with such diversification in the handling of each item separately. The consolidation of these items into the store proved to be so successful that its inventory was expanded and now includes sweatshirts, Night- ingale lamps, pins, rings, miniature M-K nurse dolls, decals, stickers, and even penny-candy. The store is now an established organization of the Student Association and has an elected staff. All profits from the store go to swell the Student Association treasury.

Salma gftmle Qfaces Change Readers of uThe Linkn will recall that at inter- vals during the past ten years we have reported on our concern over the steady increase in the cost of publishing HThe Linkw, and the decrease Cexcept for one or two yearsj in the number of alumni sub- scribers and the fact that the 153.00 per year sub- scription rate does not cover the cost per copy. All of the above contributed to the fact that last fall f'The Linkn treasury showed after all 1965 bills were paid there would not be suHicient funds avail- able to pay for this 1966 issue. Your Alumni Asso- ciation was informed of this difficulty and, to meet this yearis commitments and allow time in which to adequately study the fate of this ffgood old friend , the association voted to subsidize the cost for this year's book. Since the magazine has had so few alumni sub- scribers 4200 last yearj, the editorial staff assumed that the magazine no longer is satisfying alumni appetites, and that perhaps the R.M.H. News which is mailed out several times a year to all alumni whose addresses are up-to-date in our files, is satisfying our grads with news about the hospital, school, and Rochester. ffllso it is freej After careful study of the budget and other aspects which affect any publication, it was decided by the Alumni Association to attempt to decrease the cost of the 1966 HLink', by eliminating the Alumni Directory which occupied twenty-two pages of the thirty-two allocated to alumni news. A directory will still be maintained by the Alumni Association but as a separate booklet and will be published only every two years. This will be avail- able to alumni through the Alumni Association and you will be notified later as to its cost per copy. Future Link subscriptions CQ' there is a Link l would not include a directory. This brings me to the central point of these pre- liminary remarks. What the fate of The Link will be after this year is at this time unknown as it seems doubtful that the Alumni Association can continue to provide funds from its treasury each year to underwrite the cost for so few graduate subscribers. And now, what of f'The Link's'i future? Publi- cation may be suspended, or a new publication, more like a yearbook type for students, might evolve. The decision rests with the Alumni Associ- ation and administrative department of the school. Whatever the decision you will be informed--and so another change is pending! October 28, 1966 Since the above information was written the fate of The Link has been decided. It will continue to exist as a school yearbook type of publication re- cording those activities which students feel are of sentimental and historical importance. The finan- cial support will come from the student subscribers and the school. As a student publication, the format and contents of the student section of previous issues will be re- tained and could increase as the budget permits. The removal of the alumni directory and alumni news section from the book will however reduce the size of this publication. Although The Link will no longer carry alumni news any alumnus who wishes to subscribe may still do so by sending 33.00 to The Link Editorial Staff, 116 Second Street N.W., Rochester, Minne- sota 55901. u The Link will from now on be the official year- book of the Methodist-Kahler School of Nursing. Myrl I. Peterson Faculfy Adviser Jllliss Cgallsigerm Qetines K .JZ rw wk. Alma Balsiger and Grace Lahre. Photo taken at party given in honor of Miss Balsiger. For more than thirty-seven years Alma Balsiger, better known as Bally',, gave of her time and energy to the patients and staff at the Rochester Methodist Hospital. It would be difficult to find another member of the staff who had put in as many hours of dedicated labor. And when she worked she really worked. The results speak more eloquently than words. One need only listen to the comments from the staff on the unit to realize how great has been her contribution to nursing service. She believes in working intensely and often did much of the work herself. She had no patience with those who didnit do their share, but had great respect for those who really put their shoulder to the wheel. She herself is that type of person? A 1925 graduate of M-K, Miss Balsiger had ex- perience as a staff nurse, private duty nurse, head nurse, and assistant supervisor in our hospital. In 1955 she was among the employees who were hon- ored and received a watch for achieving twenty-five years of service. Her interests were not confined to her work alone. She likes to read and keeps up-to-date on a variety of topics. She is an ardent baseball fan and now will have time to fully enjoy this sport. Reliable, industrious, faithful Bally wa-s honored at a party on September 29 and retired from her position on September 30.

The weekend was a time of gaiety and remembrance for the many alumni who returned to their alma mater this year. Having fun as they went back in time, those present wished that all of their class- mates and school friends could have been present 'fto renew in memoryw and to enjoy the program of events. Special reunions were held by the four classes ending in six. Beginning at 9:30 a.m., Friday, june 24, alumni began registering at Maxwell Hall and then at- tended the all-morning coffee. Following the coffee, the reunion classes dispersed to various restaurants in Rochester for individual class luncheons. In the afternoon, groups went on tours of the school, Clinic, and city, others gathered at homes of local alumni. The evening program was purposely planned as a family affair as this year marked an historic event in our history. Our new Rochester Methodist Hos- pital was dedicated Gct. 21, and soon will be opened and occupied. The entire program was planned to bring alumni up to date on the progress and the projected future plans after the new build- ing is in operation. The social hour and banquet were held at Holi- day Inn with approximately 260 in attendance. The crowded dining room and slow service failed to dampen the enthusiasm of the reunionites. Mr. Howard Winholtz, hospital administrator, presided at the after-dinner program. Reverend Alquinn Toews, hospital chaplain, gave the invocation. In the absence of vacationing alumni president Jeanne Zumwinkle '45, Mrs. Joyce Kulas, treasurer, served as the official alumni hostess. Mr. Harold G. Mickey, executive director of the Rochester Meth- odist Hospital, gave the official welcome. Miss Eleanor Smith, alumnus and director of the school, commented on M-Kis plans in relation to the A.N.A.'s Position Paper, and she told about the curriculum changes which have been accom- plished and those which will go into effect this fall. The new hospital will also affect student living by providing the school with a more modern and cen- trally located residence facility, as the North Wing fNew VVingj of the Main Building will be re- modeled and converted into dormitory quarters thus eliminating Maxwell and Edith Mayo Halls. fTl1e new dormitogu has been named Clara Madsen Hallj The main speaker was one of the newer members of the hospital family, Dr. David K. Trites, Ph.D., director of our research program since july 1965. He described the new building as a research tool in hospital design and function, and stated that to his knowledge this was the largest experiment of architectural psychology of our time. He assured his audience that the research programs will not in any way interfere with the care of patients. Gur research program, which will be a long term effort, will encompass investigation into many areas of the hospital's departments and services. He related a few: C15 Gan there be too much observation of patients by staff and staff by patients? C25 How do nurses arrive at a decision clinically? C35 Evaluation of quality of care-does construction have any im- pact on quality of care? C45 Other broad areas for possible study include the functioning of future In- service Education Programs, Nursing Service Or- ganization in the hospital, use of computers for scheduling, various types of communicating de- vices, and studies in pharmacy and dietary depart- ments. On Saturday morning the administrative staff of the hospital personally conducted the alumni on tours through the new hospital building. Following the tours the alumni classes held breakfasts and coHees which concluded the two days of reunioning. Two former faculty members who attended Alumni Days were Miss Fern Sheick, former in- structor and associate director who is retired and lives in Rockford, Ill., and Miss Gail Hotchkiss '40, who served on our faculty from 1941-1950. She presently is Supervisor of Professional Nurses, Reg- istration and Education, for the state of Washing- ton and resides in Olympia. Gail was class adviser to the 1946 reunion class. Greetings from former directors Miss Lulu Saunders and Miss Gilberta Durland were read. Attendance records show the following totals for the reunion classes: 1926 - 26, 1936 - 11, 1946 - 55, and 1956 - 28. Alumni committees have already stashed this yearis reunion in the memory box and are making plans for the next one-for June 23-24, 1967. Many messages have been received since the re- union and a typical one is, Twenty years had made many marvelous changes. It was exciting to see and hear about the advancements made at our alma mater. I felt as if I could burst with pride knowing that I was a grad of M-K. If I could, I would love to work in the new hospitalf' Qnapped CDufcimg Y? ie -il vii,,...n? Ufwumni I il CDGQQ 5 54.

Last September Miss Hestad, who held the posi- tion of director of the Omaha Douglas County Visiting Nurse Association for the past eleven years, retired-having completed a forty-year career in nursing. Miss Hestad went to Omaha in 1955 to accept the position as director of that local Visiting Nurses Association after she had already had a distin- guished career in public health, having worked for the Infant Welfare Society and V. N. A. in Minne- apolis, been director of V. N. A. in Dubuque, Iowa, and visiting nurse director in Indianapolis, Indiana. In her position in Omaha she was re- sponsible for the administration of the program and the 53 employees in the department, and also as- sisted in public health education in the Omaha collegiate schools of nursing. Miss Hestad received her undergraduate educa- tion at the University of Minnesota in the College of Education followed by an additional year in the Public Health Department at the University of Minnesota. This year she was listed in 'cWho's Who of American Women and received the Nurse of the Year Award from Nebraska Nurses' Association, District II. She is presently residing in Minneapolis and ex- pects to do volunteer work. In the news a er article she was described b P P . I Y her colleagues as ua tireless worker for the improve- ment of nursing . Last March the American Nurses' Association held a luncheon to honor nurses who are wives of United States senators and representatives. One of the ladies invited was Mrs. Lionel Van Deerlin QMaU1 jo Smith '36D whose husband is a congress- man from California. As a part of the program there was a display of the caps and school bulletins from the schools repre- sented by these nurse-wives. Letters and telegrams from the Alma Maters were read at the luncheon and each guest was presented with the materials her school had sent. This was the second year that the A. N. A. spon- sored this event to renew the interest and concern of this group of women in nursing. Embasgf Nurse Cited For Work in Africa Mrs. Erna Mutton CErna Schaffer '36j, Sioux Falls, S. D., was cited by embassy officials in Accra, Ghana, for her work in the Foreign Service. Mrs. Mutton, who served embassy officials and native employees of the American embassy at Accra, was presented the meritorious honor award by Ambassador Franklin Williams who cited her for 'cunusual devotion to her duties and her out- standing performance as a nurse . Mrs. Mutton has been in the Foreign Service for two years and was home on leave this summer before being reassigned to Bangkok, Thailand. Mrs. Kenneth Bayne QDoris Perrin '43D, Chicago, Ill., has been employed as a medical-surgical in- structor at the Ravenswood Hospital School of Nursing. Last June she expected to complete her credits for a B. S. degree from North Park College, Chicago. Mrs. E. Gardner Cjoan Dammann '57D, Aug. 1966, Palo Alto, California, is presently employed by the Palo Alto Clinic in the Occupational and Predictive Medicine Department. 'fWe do in-plant medical services at the Ames Research Center at Moffett Field which is a part of the National Aero- nautics and Space Administration. There are 2500 employees and since july we have been setting up the operation. I left Philco where I had been for four years and while waiting for this present ap- pointment I held a temporary position as Adm. Supervisor of a 68 bed convalescent hospital in this area. It was a broadening experience and I enjoyed the older people. Mrs. Stan Krawczyk CDoris Monson '45l, Me- tuchen, N. J. It was so nice to be at our reunion. just getting back to Rochester! inspired me to begin making plans to attend Seton Hall University School of Nursing and work towards a B. S. de- gree. Feb. 1966 Irma F . Monlux '35, Washington, D. C., returned to the U. S. in 1962 from Central and South America where she had spent seven years. Since then she has been in charge of the orientation program for new nursing service per- sonnel at the Clinical Center of the National Insti- tute of Health in Washington. Arnold N. Oldre '53, graduated from the School of Medicine of Tulane University of Louisiana, New Orleans, on May 30, 1966. Mrs. Thoburn F. Thompson Ulflarjorie Helmen '55D, Feb. 24, 1966. We have been in La Paz, Bolivia, since November 1964, following eight months in San Jose, Costa Rica, studying Spanish. My husband is General Director of the Clinica Americana here and is an American Board Certified General Surgeon. The medical practice here is varied with a good deal less degenerative disease than one sees in the States, but a high rate of tuber- culosis, typhoid, cholecystitis, and accidents. We have three small children. At present I am director of our school of nursing, Escuela Evangelica De Infermeria Iglesia Metodista . It is a four-year program and considered the best in the country. We have 54 students, 23 are first-year students. Classroom activities have been greatly accentuated and I feel that perhaps their clinical laboratory experience is lacking, but this is the trend in nurs- ing education. Money is our basic problem. It costs about 15550.00 a year to educate one student nurse, and the average income of a Bolivian family per year is approximately 15100 or less. How did M-K ever educate us so inexpensively in 1955? Warmest regards to all I know, hopefully we will be by for a visit during our furlough in 1969. Major Jeanette Fessenden '31, a reserve officer in the medical service of the U. S. Air Force, passed away in August, 1966, in the Veteran's Administra- tion Hospital, Wood, Wisconsin, after a long illness. After graduating from Methodist-Kahler, she at- tended Johns Hopkins University where she was awarded a B. S. degree in business administration and later she received a M. A. degree in hospital administration from the University of California. During VVorld War II she served with the Air Force as an operating room nurse in the European theater and was recalled to active service during the Korean war. In 1961 she was named hospital administrator of the House of the Holy Comforter, New York City. Prior to this appointment, Major Fessenden's career had taken her to fourteen states and three foreign countries. Interment with military graveside rites was at Fulton Cemetery, Edgerton, VVisconsin. Survivors are a sister and five brothers. Miss Claire Priefer, '22, retired surgical super- visor since December 1963, died of a heart attack on October 16, 1966. She was 70 years old.

JUIII 321101511111 IIUIUI The tentative plans for the present Main Hospital building after we move into the new hospital are: The building will again be known as the Colonial Building. The first four floors of the north Knew wing? will become Clara Madsen Hall, a residence for M-K students replacing Maxwell and Edith Mayo Halls. This will be named after Mrs. Madsen who in July of 1959 presented the school with 314,000 to be used for scholarships for students. The space now occupied by the kitchen, dining and north part of lobby, will be converted into reception, living room, lounge and recreation space for students.

The Pink Ladies Upstairs Bargain Basement may be moved to the lower level which is now occupied by the X-ray department.

We consecrate this building to the skill and wisdom that bring relief and cure, and to the patient research that uncovers fresh resources with which to serve the public healthf' On Saturday and Sunday October 22 and 23, the hospital was open to the public for preview tours before the big move which is expected to be late in November or early December. Approximately eleven thousand people took the eighty minute tour through the hospital. Life for this new Rochester Methodist Hospital is just beginning. What will be its destiny? The very nature of the building gives one a clue. Gone is the box like structure which characterized the hospitals of the last generation. XfVe have a building designed so that all medical, nursing and educational activities have as their central objective better service to the patient. The structural relationships of the rooms and the various departments incorporated under its roof is proof that thorough consider- ation was given in the planning to beauty as well as function. Its challenges are great and its future inviting. To all alumni we extend a special invitation to visit the new clinical areas in the building. Wfe know all M-K people past and present are proud of this beautiful new facility at 201 West Center Street. 39 , . nf, , ' H' N17z3fgg,. .. 'A i N.
