As her Assistant she brought to the hospital Lillian Clayton, who was also a Blockley graduate. Miss Clayton took charge of the Infant Training School, acting both as teacher and as supervisor of this work. Miss Clayton was, in her quiet way, a pillar of strength, brilliant, yet unassuming 5 to know her. was to love, honor and respect her. I am sure that every pioneer graduate of the school will join almost reverently in this tribute to Miss Clayton. The words of the poet more adequately describe her than can my feeble eH'ort: g'She was the perfect woman nobly planned. No task was ever too small or unworthy for her capable hands, her ear was always open to the discouragements and trials of even a poor little probie, and her room was almost a shrine where solace could usually be found for all ills. But what of today! Our Alumnae is no longer a struggling infant, as this year marks its thirty-eighth birthday. It has waxed strong and is a bulwark in our midst, and even though the very hospital walls themselves be destroyed, it will still live on, as the spirit of an institution is represented in those who have gone before, in those who bear the heat of the day 5 and will be present in those who follow. True lives and good works do not stop in their growth, but expand and reach out into new fields unending and remote. We are only a small part of what we create. When our brief day is spent, others take our place and carry on. This is the law of life. Each nurse as she leaves the hospital becomes a spoke in the wheel, with her Alumnae as the hub encircling all her activities. It becomes the link which binds her to her Alma Mater. Through future years her training and experience will open new and magical doors to her and the fountain of joy and satisfaction in her work will bubble forth. It is inevitable that each nurse must share in the impulses of her time. Her training and her opportunities are the tools with which she works and they may be made to serve her purpose well, making possible the realization of her aspirations, her hopes, and her desires. Higher things remain to be done than have yet been accomplished in our profession and they who seek diligently will Find the means of accomplishment. The Lamp always significant of light, is represented in our Alumnae 3 may it always burn brightly for this Class of 194-l. LILLIAN DALE Girl-1ENs Class of 1906 In 1929, the Alumnae established The Miami Valley Hospital School of Nursing Alumnae Scholar- ship Fund.

LILLIAN S, CLAYTON ELLA PHILLIPS CRANDALL The Alumnae Speaks THE PAST of our Alumnae Association is indissolubly linked with the names of Ella Phillips Crandall and Lillian S. Clayton, the two women who labored so indefatigably and so constructively in organizing our Nursing School and the Alumnae. They were the good angels who mothered these infant organizations, nursing them with jealous tenderness and watchfulness during the difficult transition period when the hospital passed from the order to the modern institution and the nursing from the Sisterhood to the profession. Miss Crandall was a graduate of old Blockley Hospital, Philadelphia, and came to Miami Valley in the year 1898 while it was still under the control of Pastor Carl Mueller and the Deaconess Sisters. Her duties as Superintendent and the reorganization work were very strenuous and required both mental and physical application of a very trying nature. One less capable and devoted could hardly have survived the many diiiiculties she encountered. That she did emerge victorious is proof of the excellence of the woman, Miss Crandall possessed the perceptive faculty of being able to read and evaluate people and soon surrounded herself with a staff of high attainments and ideals. if 83 +P'
