R mESSflGE TO THE SERIOR CLASS liil . AY I congratulate you, as mem- bers of the Senior Class, on your enthusiasm in all of your activities, both in and for the School. To be a success one must have a fully developed and rounded life. You have chosen a vocation which demands the best that one can give. You cannot be a good and intelligent nurse without being a good and intelligent woman, one who can be depended upon, one who respects her profession, and one who has the love of God in her heart. In addition to knowledge and skill, you must have compassion and understanding. May you go forth to your life ' s work imbued with the Spirit of Service which is the foundation of your Calling. You will also find it the road to Happiness. Margaret C. Peeler, R.N, THE CRANIUM, 1937 Page Four

Edgar O. Holden, A.B., D O GREETinGS nno FELICITfiTIOnS HAVE observed with a great deal of interest and with an inordinate amount of satisfaction the rise and development of the School of Nursing connected with our Hospital. Indeed it is not at all difficult, in retrospection, to visualize the small institution that we were pleased to call The Osteopathic Hospital at 410 S. 9th Street, with the College located just around the corner at 832 Pine Street. That pioneer effort in the capable hands of Miss Carrie Fischer, R.N., so far as the administration of nursing was concerned, was destined to expand and to be developed into the efficient organization that exists today. The removal of the Hospital to 1725 Spring Garden Street in 1916, followed by transfer to the new Hospital Building associated with the College at 19th and Spring Garden Streets, gave evidence of the demands for increased osteopathic, surgical, specialty and. nursing services and it is to be understood at once that the nursing aspects and particularly the School for Nursing as an integral part of the picture, made strides in keeping with the progress noted, on all the professional and technical fronts. The service of Miss Simms, R.N., in the post-war days, in the capacity of Directress of Nurses, at the 19th and Spring Garden Street institution, springs pleas- antly to memory.
