Wrigley A History of St. Lu es Hospital iiiiiiiiiiijiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii NDER THE LEADERSHIP OF Dr. Clinton Locke, Rector of Grace Church, St. Luke ' s Hospital was organi2,ed on February 18th, 1854, and shortly operations were begun in a small frame house on State Street near Eldredge Court, accommodating seven patients. From that day to the present its history presents an unbroken record of continuous service to the community. Six months later a large brick house was rented and the Hospital moved into it, thus increasing its capacity to eighteen beds. Up to this point the Hospital was a Grace Church enterprise, but it was deemed wise to interest the entire Diocese, and with this in view a meeting of some well-known churchmen, willing to act as trustees, was held and a wider organi2,ation perfected and incorporated in 1864 under a special Act of the Legislature. Early in 1871 the Hospital capacity was increased to thirty-five beds by moving into a large frame building on Indiana Avenue. In this unpre- tentious building the work was carried on with creditable results. In October, 1871, occurred the great Chicago fire and St. Luke ' s, working in co-operation with the Relief and Aid Society, was able to do a great work in the care of those who suffered from the fire. The cornerstone was laid on All Saint ' s Day, 1882, for a new Hos- pital. The plan consisted of five separate buildings, connected by corridors. Four of them were erected at this time and were opened January 29th, 1885. Two of these buildings are still in use today. The Hospital was now able to accommodate sixty-five patients. The acute need of a training [ SAINT LUKE ' S ANNUAL 19 28 3 ' school for nurses was now felt and was organi2,ed on the general plan of the Illinois Training School for Nurses, and as a separate corporation, but later merged with the Hospital. The first class graduated in 1887. The record of the Training School is an enviable one. Mr. Byron Smith, in 1886, furnished funds for the addition of two floors to the west wing. The Johnston wing of the Hospital was completed in 1891 through funds provided by the legacy of Mr. Samuel Johnston. Mrs. W. G. Hibbard, Mr. W. H. Getty, Miss Florence Pullman, now Mrs. Frank Lowden, each provided for the full equipment of a floor in the new wing. This increased the capacity of the Hospital to one hundred and fifty-two beds. The Association of the Blue Cross was incorporated in August, 1881, to provide means of every character for the benefit of nurses and to take care of them in case of illness, accident or misfortune. Pupil nurses, and others interested in the School, were eligible to membership and were admitted formally by proper service in the Chapel. The badge of member- ship was a Latin Cross worked in blue on the sleeve of the left arm and is still used as the School insignia. The prayer of the Blue Cross was also written at this time. Later, by raising the attic of the northwest pavilion, for which purpose Mrs. E. H. Stickney gave nine hundred dollars, additional rooms for nurses (12) 3i C SAINT LUKE ' S 1| ANNUAL 1 9 28 t were provided. Her interest in the nurses finally culminated in a bequest of fifty-five thousand dollars in memory of her husband. With this money pleasant quarters for the nurses were provided. This building was opened m 1898 when there were forty-two nurses on the roll. It is interesting to note that in Miss Lett ' s off ice the first committee met for the purpose of organi2;ing the American Society of Superintendents, which in 1911 became the National League of Nursing Education. The Clinton, now the Saranac, was built on a piece of land given by Mr. N. K. Fairbanks in 1893 in the hope of increasing the income of the Hospital. The Saranac was later converted into a dormitory for nurses. In 1894 Dr. Locke retired from the presidency of the institution and was succeeded by Mr. A. Ryerson, who served for eight years, when he was succeeded by Mr. Leslie Carter, who served until his death in 1909. The present president is Mr. Charles Schweppe. Although St. Luke ' s was started as a free Hospital, an urgent need for a private paviHon had developed and in 1908 Mr. James A. Smith gave the Hospital five hundred thousand dollars for the erection of a memorial to his cousin, George Smith. One h undred and twenty-seven patients may be accommodated in the Smith Memorial Building. The income of this building is used to increase the number of charity patients cared for, which is numbered about one-third free. A check from Thomas S. Kirkwood provided funds for the purchase of one hundred feet of land on Indiana Avenue and the erection of a build- ing known as Kirkwood. It was used to accommodate women and children patients, but is now used as a domestic building. In 1919 plans for a nineteen-story building, to replace the Indiana Avenue building, were made. In January, 1924, the ground was broken for this building. In March, 1925, the first patients were admitted to the Main Building. The Main Building is of the most modern type of steel construction, resting on caisons which reach down to bedrock on an average depth of one hundred feet. It is fireproof, not in the ordinary sense, but with no wood in the structure except the revolving door in the lobby. Including the Smith Memorial, the Hospital now accommodates six hundred and seventy-eight patients which will be increased to seven hun- dred and seventy-eight when the third, fourth, and fifth floors, which at this time are used as dormitories for the nurses pending the erection of a new nurses ' home, are turned over to the use of patients.

Soon, however, they reah2;ed that, like any other ship, effort was neces ' sary to make it fly successfully. With Miss Pringle and Miss Mack as officers, these twenty-seven girls started on their first real adventure into the field of nursing. There was a four-month probation period with heavy classes, in which the crew was taught the mechanism of the machine. Being homesick, discouraged and weary at the end of this given time, about seven abandoned the airship. This did not discourage the rest, for the huge ship arose and flew steadily and unharmed for two long months. It was great fun to ride in the air even if difficulties often did arise. However, it was with a sense of rehef that the aviators once more stepped upon Mother Earth. They enjoyed a four weeks vacation and returned with renewed vigor to finish the journey. I 33 { SAINT LUKE ' S ANNUAL 19 28 1 A History of the Class of 1928 A — Continued During the long year that followed there were many heartaches and headaches. Two of the crew decided to use the parachute and dropped suddenly as they drew near the Earth over the huge Island of Holy Matri- mony. This left the group with only fourteen sturdy workers. It was during this year that all were promoted to the rank of Seniors, thereafter appearing in their stiff, high-necked collars. They approached the Isle of Vacation once more with a sigh of relief. The last and third year flew by much more quickly than the second. Parties and entertainments were not unknown on this bUmp, and many good times were enjoyed. As the end of the long journey drew near, the Captain, Miss Pringle, resigned. Mrs. Crocker was then appointed to steer the huge Zeppelin to safety. So ends the story of the ZeppeHn ' ' St. Luke ' s — ' 28A ' which has completed its journey but promises to be never tiring in the expedition in the field of nursing. Sarah Warner. (34) I ELLA M.

The weather really didn ' t seem the sort intended for work or school, and yet it was with a feeling of exhileration that eighty- nine students entered the St. Luke ' s Hospital Training School. The girls were taken to their respective rooms as they arrived at the office. To each and all it seemed as though they were engaged in a speed contest to appear as quickly as possible in uniform and cap. They then travelled to the wards and experienced their first attempts to do the routine ward work. The following days were filled with excitingly new occupations. To almost all of these preliminaries the work they were expected to do was so diiferent from what they had been previously doing that each day seemed to be filled with a ma2,e of new difficulties and problems. Class work started in October. The first subjects were: Ethics, Nursing Pro- cedures, Anatomy, Bacteriology, Nursing History, Hygiene and Sanitation and Materia Medica. Classes began at eight in the morning. The students were given two hours off duty each day and generally two or three hours were spent on the floors. The classroom windows face Lake Michigan and its glorious blue surface was frequently sufficient to lure the minds of the students away from the books before them. C SAINT LUKE ' S . ANNUAL 1928 J= A History of the Class of 1928B— Continued The examinations were scheduled in February. Many of the nurses had contracted scarlet fever and were in quarantine at this time. This necessitated review classes. Everyone anxiously watched the bulletin board as the grades were posted and how happily those receiving qualifying grades donned the lovely organdy caps of the School ! The new Junior nurses soon accepted their additional responsibilities. Class officers were elected as follows: President Helene Peters Vice-President Ruth Brinkerhoff Secretary RuTH Montgomery Treasurer Lois Grivetti The second year sped by as quickly as the first. There were Hallowe ' en and Christmas parties to liven the holidays. It was during the first two years that over thirty of the nurses left training, some to marry and others to find new work. The next year the class started on its various rounds of activities. The dignified Seniors were certainly kept very busy. The material was collected for The VoyageuR. Parties, dances and candy sales were held to raise money. The Big Sister plan was tried out after Christmas and proved successful. The preliminaries co-operated well, making the feeling between the two classes decidedly congenial, and keeping many a new student free from heartache and homesickness. Then at the last the plans for graduation with its beautiful services were made and the joy of seeing one ' s folks and friends, anticipated. The future stretches before them and it is filled with new hopes and possibilities. Helene Peters.

The group that numbered twenty ' six girls in February of 1926 has dwindled to fifteen. Now that we are counting the months instead of years, we like to look back to the earHer months of our training, and laugh and weep with the probies ' ' of that memorable Spring. With what trepi ' dation and embarrassment we first stepped into the wards, and how we worked for those distant, much desired caps! Will any of us forget our :[ 37 c SAINT LUKE ' S ANNUAL 19 28 1 A History of the Class of 1929A — Continued weekly expeditions? We wandered through the Museum and Art Insti ' tute, were formally conducted through the Federal Building, Hull House, The University of Chicago, the Tribune Building and Marshall Fields ' . Last but not least we had a picnic at Thornton Forest Preserve. Through it all we were surely and expertly guided by Miss Ella Best. Only those who know her reali2,e the help and inspiration she gave the younger students. With the flying months have come new duties and responsibilities, new disappointments and new happiness. Such a small group as ours can only hope to accompHsh great things by hearty co ' Operation with the larger student body. We look forward to graduation with the mingled eagerness and regret that always attends the leaving of an Alma Mater and the beginning of life ' s work. Virginia Forsythe. (38) 3= C SAINT LUKE ' S T ANNUAL 1928 1= A History of Class of Ip2pB WAS AWAKENED EARLY by the sound of loud voices and heavy footsteps outside my ehamber door. I struggled violently with myself to keep from going out and strangling the wretches. Instead, I took to reading of the Five Hundred and was struck by the lines: Theirs not to question why, Theirs but to do or die. I was reminded of our class at the beginning of September, 1926. Indeed, on thinking of those first six months sends me to the depths and thinks I there are many unsung martyrs and heroines in this world of ours. In all of our trials and tribulations during those first hectic days, I was chagrined quite a little, and a mite maddened when our worthy Secretary carrolled that if ignorance was bliss, we must have all been blisters. [ 39 tSAINC lUKR ' S ANNUAL 1 9 2 8 1= History oj Class i929B — Cuniinucd Numbering dlmost a hundred m the beginning, we dwindled down to .iliouL filty. We have hopes of keeping our present number to the end. During the early days, we assembled one eve and showed our ignorance of parliamentary law in an election of class officers. They were: President Blanche Cleveland Vice-President Onalee Brace Secretary Elsie Pelletie.r Treasurer.. ..Beatrice Egan Why we needed a Treasurer is bothering me to this day. Then came the day when we wore our bibs — our first taste of what we thought then the real thing. Then the agoni2,ing days followed, until we were capped — capped — was that not the last word of attainment along the stony trail? After struggling five months for that seemingly unattainable bit of organdy, were we not due for a thrill? Ah, we tramped the corridors for a week with our heads in the clouds, our minds above all earthly things. However, we learned that the possession of caps did not bestow any special knowledge on our unsuspecting heads. Through another half year of night duties especially we existed, until one day we stepped forth m all the self-consciousness of the first cross on the sleeve. The joy of wearing them was a little dampened by one thing — the making of them! Then arrived what we thought the most wonderful month in the year — March, which brought us our Senior linen and gave us the day of our lives, our first taste of victory. The knighting of King Arthur ' s men had nothing on us. Truly the world seemed enclosed in a little red fence. We were even proud of the red line the collars made around our necks — for is not that the mark of the chosen? Again we come to Earth, harder than ever this time, our goal still so far m the future that sometimes we falter and almost stop, to be urged on again by the memory of those who have gone before. One of the most enjoyable times we remember is the party the Senior Class gave in our honor. They were truly wonderful hostesses; we speak as one in appreciation of the good time we had. One thing remains clear m our minds: We appreciate the operating-room scene more and more as time goes on. During the Spring of 1927 we entertained the members of the Class of 1930A. We were entertained, too, by one of their members doing the Black Bottom dance. It was St. Patrick ' s Day, and we could hardly see one another for green shamrocks. The last social event we had a hand in was a party our class and the 1929A ' s gave — dancing and bridge furnishing entertainment. At this party we vowed to have more of the same, but the time has gone so fast, we can hardly realise that only a little over a year is left. We would like to thank the Senior Class of 1928 for making our preliminary work bearable. Their help has meant so much to us, as only those who have been ' ' probies can realise. We wish you all the luck and happiness in the world. Blanche Cleveland. (40) 3= I (41) [iHistory of Class K JoA UR SHIP WAS LAUNCHED ill February, 1927. It was with grave foreboding that we started out on this unknown sea, intending to come to the opposite shore in 1930. It took an immence amount of courage to follow up the routine of those first days. Even going to the dining-room was a momentous occasion. We stood in awe of those starched white figures and dared not venture far into the bustle and hurry about us. Led by our calm, enthusiastic Captain, Miss Kay, we passed an enjoyable year aboard the ship. During our preliminary period, we innocently indulged in a party given by the Class of 1929B. Never did we feel at sea, being well guided by our skilled seaman, Miss McConnell. The daily routine was broken by Miss Shannon ' s very thoughtful surprises in the way of get togethers . She also proved a very efficient chaperone for various parties. Our ship is on the second year. Some of our crew have gone back to the shore with our deepest regrets. In the year of 1930 our ship will lead the swift little fleet into the harbor with our colors flying high. J THE CITY I searched along the avenue, for one familiar face, In all the croivd that came and went along from place to place. I searched in large department stores, in cars, and husses, too, But all my searching was in vain; the faces all were new. Ruth Waca, ' 30. The greatest joy in the world is the joy of service. The greatest power in the world is the power of love. The greatest rule in the world is the Golden Rule. The greatest war in the world is the war with our ' selves.

LAMBERT (62) iC (63) [ SAINT LUKE ' S ANNUAL 19 28 J HISTORY OF INTERNE STAFF The birth of St. Luke ' s Hospital, Chicago, in 1861, found no reguhirly appointed internes on the staff. This condition existed until 1880, when Dr. Norton Strong received an appointment as interne. His duties were of a general nature, serving both departments, medicine and surgery, which maintained a service of sixty-live beds. This inovation may be regarded as an unusual experiment, in as far as the present staff consisting of forty-six men evolved from this solitary interne of forty-seven years ago. As the various branches of medicine became more complex in their demands, their many interests of the Hospital increased, as did the number of internes. The number of applicants progressively increased until in 1896 it was deemed advisable that the appointments be competitive so that the high standards of the founders in 1861 be maintained. At this time Mr. L. R. Curtis, who is now acting in the capacity of Vice-President of St. Luke ' s, took charge of the interne staff. By careful study he developed the so-called rotation of services. Thus each interne is enabled to enlarge in twelve distinct divisions of medicine or surgery during his first year with a choice of that service to which he is best adapted during his second or Senior year. This latter consists of a period of three months in some division of medicine or surgery, the choice depending upon the individual. At the present time Mr. Curtis is ably assisted by Dr. Wm. Schley. Acting in the capacity of Chief Interne, Dr. Schley is directly responsible for the conduct of the interne staff, arranging for the services, and, in addition, giving a scries of lectures wherein special emphasis is based upon the standards of St. Luke ' s. This has established in the present staff the realization of the magnitude that St. Luke ' s enjoys in the medical realm. L. M.

The young woman came to the hospital to learn how to care for the sick and this she did by actually caring for the patients from the first day she began her training. Although she received very little training in theory, many a capable and efficient nurse was released from her hospital under this regime. In later years more has been demanded of the nurse, consequently more is being demanded from the hospital that prepares her. At first the director of nurses, assisted by a few lectures from the physicians on the staff, gave all the instruction that was thought necessary. This condition still exists m many of our hospitals. Those institu- tions that today are striving to meet the demands of modern training have at least one full-time instructor and if there are many students to be trained, there must be more instructors who are well prepared not only as nurses, but as teachers. The necessary equipment for the demonstration of nursing procedures and for the instruction of sciences must be accommodated in proper classrooms. To these we add libraries, study rooms and offices, then the educational unit is complete. In thus centering the instruction into a somewhat separate department, what have we gained and what have we lost? An attempt at least has been made to give the student a professional training which will place her on an equal footing with any other profession. During her preliminary training, she is carefully prepared to care for the sick correctly and efficiently. She is also given sufficient scientific background to teach her the why of the many things which she must do. After her preliminary period, a much greater time is spent on the ward where her future instruction is unfortunately often dependent to a large extent on her own powers of observation. The recent case-study method and ward clinic have been most helpful in aiding her to observe correctly. Many schools now add to their curriculum sociology, psychology. (68) C SAINT LUKE ' S T ANNUAL 1928 f MODERN NURSING EDUCATION Continued sanitation and like subjects which are alhed to the nursing profession. This helps to give the nurse a broader view of her usefulness to the community at large. Cultural opportunities are also oifered, so that she may perhaps learn something of the arts while in training. All of these things bring forth all that is best in the student s character, and are really important additions to the nurse ' s training. In one aspect at least we have lost, as is made evident by the complaint which is quite generally heard from all parts of the country. The complaint is this: From the head nurse and supervisors — that the instructors are inconsiderate and expect the impossible; from the instructors — that the head nurses and supervisors do not co-operate. This, I believe, is the result of the more or less isolated position which the educational department has unfortunately achieved. As a matter of fact, only a few at best are doing classroom instruction, while the most important instructors of all are those who frequently do not class themselves as such. The most impressive instruction that can be given is in the ward. The good results which case-study has achieved in awakening a vital interest in the student suggests that it is through this and similar means that advance instruc- tion may be made less didactic than by the present lecture system. By such methods the instruction is carried on in the ward where the patient is studied with the assistance of the doctors and nurse instructor, all working together. This is placing the emphasis on ward work and changing it from a monotonous routine to an ever-increasing source of interest and instruction. Much thought and work is today being given to the evolving of a better plan for training nurses. The first aim leads away from the formal classroom work, placing before the nurse all the wealth of clinical material to he found in any modern hospital. The second aim is to make her more than an efficient nurse and to develop in her that individuality suggested by Richard Cabot, whose life shall be four-square through the desire to work, the zest for play, the capacity for love and the inclination to worship.

K (69) (70) I C SAINT lUKE ' S ANNUAL 1 928 J Chapel Interior The Chaplain of St. Luke ' s Hospital, Chicago, To the Graduating Class of 1928 of St. Lu]{es Training School for ?iurses, GREEriHG: Having been asked to contribute a short article to the Class Year Book of 1928, the Chaplain desires, first of all, to express his appreciation of so unexpected a request. After congratulating one and all of the nurses who make up the Graduating Class of 1928, it is quite natural to turn to that part of St, Luke ' s around which a nurse ' s first and last recollections cluster: The Chapel and its daily service. It is generally known, I think, among the nurses that the Chaplain of St. Luke ' s is also the Rector of Grace Episcopal Church, but it is doubtful whether all see the logical reason for such a connection. Long years ago the Rev. Clinton Locke was the Rector of Grace Church, from 1859 to 1895. He was one of the best-known men of Chicago in his day, with wide sympathies for the poor, (72) the sick and the suffering, and felt the need of more adequate care for human aihnents than obtained in the city half a century ago. It was quite largely owing to his untiring efforts that St. Luke s Hospital was started, and in its early days the institution may be said to have been the child of Grace Church and of its Rector, until it was big enough, and strong enough, to be self-supporting. St. Luke ' s has seen many improvements and enlargements in recent times. Its Chapel, now altogether inadequate to the demands made upon it on any special occasion, was built some fifty years ago. While the Hospital has steadily increased in si2,e and influence, Grace Church has, on the contrary, owing to conditions which she could neither remedy nor control, found it impossible to maintain former high standards. This has been markedly so since the disastrous fire of 1915, which entirely wiped out its fine, spacious church m which St. Luke ' s Annual Graduating Exercises were held. After long and careful thought it was decided that the parish would be working to better purpose by linking up its religious interests with the Hospital. Thus has come about the union of Grace Church with St. Luke ' s Hospital. It may be of interest to the Class of 1928 to know that the Church of St. James, in which the Annual Graduating Exercises have been held since Grace Church was destroyed, is the Mother Church of Chicago — that is, so far as the Episcopal Church is concerned. St. James ' s is one of the very few buildings left to us which antedates the great fire of 1871, for while the main part of the church was wiped out, the beautiful tower built in 1857 remained intact. It is therefore a distinct privilege to the members of any Graduating Class to receive their diplomas and badges in so historic a building. And yet it is not so much the old Grace Church, nor St. James ' s as the Mother Church of Chicago, to which the thoughts of graduates of St. Luke ' s Training School for Nurses will frequently revert in the years to come, as the little, unpretentious Chapel within the Hospital which has witnessed so many comings and goings; the forming and fulfillment of so many high resolutions, and which has endeared itself through sacred associations to hundreds of those who are happy to claim St. Luke ' s as their Alma Mater. The new and much-needed Chapel which is now rising rapidly to transform past dreams into reality, will accommodate greater numbers and be much more beautiful in design and workmanship, but its services and worship can never exceed in heartiness those of the old Chapel which has contributed so much to the higher life of St. Luke ' s nurses in the past. May God have in His loving and ever-watchful keeping the Class of 1928 and make all its members worthy of the institution of which they are accredited repre- sentatives. The School of Tslursing and its Relation to the Hospital Hospitals and Schools of Nursing should be very closely associated. To achieve this, nothing is more important than co-operation between doctors, instructors, super- visors and student nurses. The importance and real value of this is gained only by loyal and devoted service, acquired by instruction, supervision, experience and keen observation. As every institution, so also St. Luke ' s, started on a small but determined founda- tion, to which, through untiring efforts of great minds and willing hands, its walls are spreading into a huge net-work of life. Surgery and medicine are at this time making steady progress. New methods, ideas and problems are continually being brought forth by doctors who, through their extensive research work, are giving the public their one great aim — their very best. We have stated just briefly the growth of the Hospital; let us not fail to mention now the growth of the School of Nursing from 1900 until the present date. In 1900 only one or two student nurses were permitted to enter. Not until 1920 was a class as large as forty admitted. Within the last two years the enrollment has greatly increased, there being eighty students m the class which registered in September, 1927. As the Hospital has grown, so have the opportunities for a greater and more varied nursing experience been made possible. The nurse of today is not only expected to he prepared to care for the sick, but to assist in the prevention and spread of disease through an understanding of the principles of hygiene and sanitation. The demand for a greater number of nurses who are qualified as teachers in nursing schools is very urgent and much encouragement is being given to those interested m nursing education. It IS hoped that the new residence for nurses with adequate classrooms, laboratories and recreational facilities will soon be erected in order that St. Luke ' s Hospital may continue to attract some of the most desirable young women to the profession of nursing. A WARD IN THE MAIN BUILDING A PRIVATE ROOM IN SMITH MEMORIAL (76) I The Lahoratory Department HE RIPENING WARMTH of a Wisconsin mid-Summer ' s day, the first faint splashes of red and gold in the woods, the lazy stridulent cadence of the sing- ing cicadas, and the quiet hum of affairs in an urban city greeted the be- ginning of a life which m manhood years was so held with respect and affection by his associates that when he died these friends paused and among themselves gave thought how the good as exemplified m his life might be symbolized to live on as an inspiration and a service to others. So lived Henry Baird Favill, and m memory of his goodness, friends gave of their thought and substance to the end that the Laboratory on the eighteenth floor of the Main Building of St. Luke ' s Hospital was built and given his name. The realization of this memorial reached its culmination by the joining of efforts from several sources. From the earliest beginning of St. Luke ' s Hospital routine labora- tory tests of some kind have been made for patients and later when Dr. E. R. LeCount was obtained as consultant and a resident pathologist was appointed, a better and more effective organization was obtained. For years, excepting a short interim during the War, this arrangement continued. When, after this period of growth, the time came to erect the Main Building of the Hospital, the plan of enlargement into a memorial to Dr. Favill was evolved, and while the plans as made provided definitely for research work, the development of this dejDartment had already advanced to a con- siderable degree in the old laboratory. The Hospital itself has always fostered such investigations, because the zeal and results of research studies improve the routine examinations made for patients. Other (78) I C SAINT LUKE ' S T ANNUAL 9 28 J- THE LABORATORY DEPARTMETiT -Continued sources of support gradually came. Among the lirst of these was the Winfield Peck Memorial Fund, administered through Dr. J. A. Capps, then the John Jay Borland Fellowship in Medicine, established m 1922 by Mrs. Harriett Borland; after this the Seymour Coman Fellowship, arranged through the Chemistry Department of the Uni- versity of Chicago, and finally the Charles H. Schweppe Fellowship. , ; All of these were m operation, excepting the last mentioned, before the Henry Baird Favill Laboratory was occupied. On June 20th, 1925, the new quarters were ready and the shift was made from the old laboratory into the new. The arrangements here had been carefully planned by Mr. L. R. Curtis, m themselves a splendid example of research, and altogether about thirty individual rooms were provided so that work of different kinds would be done in separate places. In this way rooms were equipped according to the nature of the particular routine examinations to be made for patients, as for example, bacteriology, chemistry, serology, pathology, etc. Other rooms were set apart for research workers, but all arranged into an organised effective unit. The Hospital Library also is on the Laboratory floor and since a librarian has been placed in charge many new volumes have been obtained by the Hospital and by members of the staff, through subscription, and by the exchange of duplicate volumes given by various friends. Housed m quarters far above the ground, the Laboratory windows look out to the rtorth and east on pleasant days to gather quiet inspiration from the broad, blue expanse of the lake, or on gray days to sense an awe-inspiring power from ponderous waves tossed along the shore. To the south and west they look out over Chicago, stretching itself in tall spires and flat buildings into the air, and forever saying: There is some- thing to do. i (79) Social Service ociAL WORK IN St. Luke ' s HOSPITAL was Started in 1913. The activities at this time, which were confined chiefly to Hospital patients, were carried on by one worker supported by an interested member of the Woman ' s Board. The development of the department during the past few years has been in connection with the special clinics where the social worker co-operates very closely with the doctor. She secures a knowledge of the patient ' s home, such facts as may influence the prognosis and affect the plan of treatment suggested by the doctor. In 1922 the department was quartered in a single room on the third floor of the Indiana Avenue building. The clinics occupied four small rooms in the basement. The personnel consisted of four workers. Clinic visits for that year were seven thousand, two hundred and fifty-five. In January, 1924, when construction of the new Main Building was begun, the department was moved to a storeroom on Michigan Avenue, adjoining the Hospital. Here the activities were carried on with some difficulty, but work in the department continued to increase. SOCIAL SERVICE—Continued In April, 1925, the department moved to the present quarters in the Main Building. In August, 1927, the Kirkwood addition was opened as another waiting room and thirteen additional clinic rooms. During 1927 nine thousand, three hundred and forty-seven patients made twenty-five thousand, three hundred and thirty- three visits to the clinics. The present staff consists of eight workers, a nurse in charge of clinics, two student nurses, and a number of volunteers. The following case, which we shall describe, is a typical one: Mrs. M., a woman of foreign extraction, lived in one of the poorer sections of the Northwest Side. She supported herself and two little girls, aged eleven and twelve, by keeping roomers and doing homework. Mrs. M. became suddenly ill one day and was brought to the Hospital as an emergency case, leaving the children at home, and arranged with a kindly neighbor to care for the children. This she agreed to do without charge. The rent on Mrs. M. ' s humble home was $60.00 in arrears, and the landlord had given a five-day notice. Mrs. M. soon recovered from her operation and was placed in a convalescent home while plans for her new home were being made. Fuel and food were suppHed and through the aid of the United Charities Mrs. M. was enabled to move into a bright, sunny apartment back in her old neighborhood where she had lived in more prosperous days. Some home work was secured for Mrs. M. The children were supplied with clothing, and sent back to school. The mental and physical condition of the mother was much improved — the little family was happy again. The watchword of the department is Service and, while every patient does not require the services of a social worker, a friendly interest is taken in each one. Anna C. Armstrong. (82) ]i C SAINT LUKE ' S T ANNUAL 1928 J- Pediatrics EDiATRics, when St. Luke ' s Hospital was opened was not included as a depart- ment. Children entering the Hospital were placed in adult wards and were cared for by attending physicians and surgeons. In 1892, it became necessary to devote more space to the care of children. When the five-story building on Indiana Avenue was erected, the J wing on the fourth floor was chosen as the children ' s ward. This wing, containing thirty beds and the necessary equipment, was furnished by the Wards and named for their daughter, Florence. In 1898, Dr. F. Walls was the attending pediatrician. In 1908 the department had increased to the extent that three pediatricians were in charge. Drs. F. Walls, H. W. Chaney, and Brenneman, now of the Children ' s Memorial Hospital. The J department soon became too small to accommodate this department and a new wing was erected, containing seventy beds, with Drs. Parmelee, Bachmann and Gibson in charge. In 1925 the Main Building on Indiana Avenue was completed. The pediatric department being on the eighth floor with Drs. Isaac Abt, Arthur Abt, Bachmann and Stanley Gibson in attendance. The now modern department consists of a boys ward, girls ' ward, nursery, small rooms for isolation precautions, sun parlor and play rooms, the latter equipped with a radio, piano, Victrola and all sorts of toys for the children ' s amusement. A kindergarten teacher spends several hours each morning with the children. In this way their school work is not neglected during their stay in the Hospital. In this department, under continuous supervision of graduate nurses, children from birth to twelve years of age are cared for. It is through this department that Social Service is able to obtain relief for many children of poor, ignorant, or neglectful parents. These patients are given care and treatment as long as is necessary, and the home conditions are investigated at intervals in order to promote their welfare. {See Page ii6 for Illustration) iC (83) c SAINT LUKE ' S ANNUAL 1928 3 The Alumnae Association HE GRADUATES of St. Lukes Hospital School of Nursing formed an Association in 1896, and took out papers of incorporation ui 1898, thirty- two years ago. St. Luke ' s is so full of tradition and happy memories of service to the sick, that every gradu- goes over its threshold realises that she has re- ' ceivecl an intangible something in return for her services which will hold her m good stead for the rest of her life no matter where she goes. The Alumnae Association does two outstanding things, or at least stands for these things — namely, keeping to high standards and ideals of our profession, and helping the individual graduate in time of illness. It is our greatest desire that in the near future every member of every class will join this Association even before she finishes her training, and that during the last few months in the school she will find out and know as much about Alumnae affairs as the member graduate of thirty years ago. Will not the Class of 1928 establish this precedent? More than a thousand nurses have received the diploma of this fine old school of nursing, and there is hope that in another year at least five hundred will belong to the Association. Some of the graduates to whom we look with great pride may be found in the list of Who ' s Who in the nursing world. We think first of Margaret Johnstone, who was superintendent of the school for many years. In memory of her great service the Alumnae endowed two rooms in the Hospital. Jane Allen, now executive head of the National Organisation of Public Health Nursing, is another Alumnae member who has made a record for our school. So has Adda Eldredge, working early and late for nursing standards since the day she graduated. Miss Eldredge served two successive terms as President of the American Nurses ' Association, and every St. Luke ' s nurse has reason to be grateful to her for the splendid ideals she carried out. As President of the Alumnae Association, I would like to say that our friendship and interest in the Class of 1928 is very genuine and we stand ready to welcome you to the Alumnae Association at any time.

The nightingale with its song m the night brings joy. So it is not strange that one who always brought comfort and cheer should be named Florence Nightingale. She was born m Florence, Italy, in 1820, the daughter of a wealthy English landowner. When a child she had great sympathy for the sick and sulTering. As a young woman she left her opportunity of a brilliant social career to study nursing m Germany. Nursing has been on a level with that of domestic service, but Florence Nightingale raised it to a fine art. She nursed for several years m Germany and in England. Then came the Crimean War in 1854. Miss Nightingale immediately volunteered as a nurse. She found the hospitals filled with sick, wounded and dying soldiers — four thousand suffering from cholera. But she came ministering to them in their every need, cooking, washing, writing their letters, reading to them and at night, with a lamp in her hand, going from bed to bed to comfort and cheer. At the close of the war Queen Victoria gave her a beautiful jewel and the govern- ment gave her money with which she founded the Nightingale School for Nurses. She died in 1910, having lived a life of unselfish, unwearied devotion, and she is a torchbearer to thousands who have followed in her footsteps. it (85) [ SAINT LUKE ' S ANNUAL 1928 Florence J iightingale Pledge SOLEMNLY PLEDGE myself before God, and in the presence ot this assembly, to pass my life in purity and to practice my profession faithfully.

(90) 3= c SAINT LUKE ' S ANNUAL 1928 Social Events WINTER CARNIVAL— DECEMBER 10, 1927 It was December, with Christmas close at hand (a fine time to plan entertainment for money-raising purposes), and we were planning a Carnival— our first attempt towards fund-raising for the Annual. Progress was slow, the whole afi air promising to be a failure unless more enthusiasm was shown. Even after the posters were placed announcing the big event, the 1928 Class still retained the same serenity— nothing stirring. Four days before the Carnival there was a sudden realization that something must be done — and it was. The decorating committee put on old clothes and started in. Everything went wrong. The icicles fell down, the paste refused to stick and in the midst of It all Pete sprained her ankle. So and so refused to be fat lady, the chorus girls forgot to practice, and the push-ball sprang a leak. We made the best of everything. The recreation rooms and classrooms were turned upside down and work went on after hours, or until Miss Gooch came around. The tragic night arrived. We were keyed up to the highest pitch to try, at least, to put It over . All of our class was in costume and masked. Before the orchestra arrived, the customers were lured into all sorts of side shows and booths. The Little Theater ran two shows. The side show featured the snake charmer, fat lady, bearded lady and swimming match, running in competition with the Spook House— nobody knows what went on in there. Everyone was gay; who would suspect that a few hours before we were doubtful? When the orchestra tuned up, all the dancers could not be accommodated at once on the floor — there actually was a jam . Under the pale green light and the cold looks of the snowmen decorating the hall they danced, nor did they object to an occasional push or elbow in the ribs. It was all in a night ' s fun. The stampede began when the push-ball was released. Seven feet in diameter — it made an ideal plaything for a peppy bunch. The nurses and internes had a contest — the nurses won, of course. Just before Home, Sweet Home was played, an immense cake was auctioned. For ten minutes the bidding was loud and lusty, then Pete (the milkman) took the cake. It was over! We all relaxed amidst the confetti and ruined decorations to count the shekels. The sum was far more than we had anticipated. The success of our first venture gave us the courage to plan others, and to proceed with renewed energy. R. Brinkerhoff. { SAINT LUKE ' S ANNUAL 19 28 1 HALLOWE ' EN PARTY— OCTOBER, 1927 Forty-four! Seventy-six! Twenty-five! Find your mate! ■ , Who ' s number ten? These were some of the cries heard throughout Main Three on the eve of the Hallowe ' en party given for the probies of the 1930 Class. Big black colored men dressed in white wanted to take us up to heaven on the tail of a kite, but the kite string broke and down we all went on the elevator to Mam Two. We passed through the corridors amidst the clanking of chains, the wierd moaning of ghosts and howling of other indescribable jumping-jacks. We all assembled m the recreation room be- neath a yellow, lurid light, while the leering eyes of jack-o-lanterns peered from behind the Autumn leaves and cornstalks at us. Hail! Hail! The gang ' s all here! sang the colored orchestra, strictly speaking, the Class of 1928. With that, they burst forth with numerous harmonious discords. Animals, the wildest m captivity, strutted their stuff before our bewildered eyes. What next? Jeremiah m all her feathers and finery with poor old Rastus by her side, the frolicsome Gold Dust Twins da ncing in and out, clowns and what-not were others in the crowd. Fortune telling and a penny dance orchestra were other sources of entertainment. There was also a plentiful supply of cider (not hard, by the way) to quench one ' s thirst after taking part m the merriment and revelry.

(92) 3= C SAINT LUKE ' S T ANNUAL 1928 J= CHRISTMAS PARTY— DECEMBER 19, 1927 ' ' How lovely, the exclamation broke from us unconsciously. We had just greeted our hostess and were entering the ballroom. Everywhere were laughing groups of daintily-gowned girls and dark-clad men. The orchestra had just ceased playing, and the last echoes of the one-step were dying away. We glanced around the room! It was very Christmasy and festive. Evergreen was hung from the lights and windows, and red ribbon bows had been added. At one end of the hall, near the orchestra, was an immense Christmas tree, with the most beautiful decorations and trimmings that old Santa could find. We sighed — it was really more lovely and perfect than any- thing we could have sought. We sauntered over to one gayly chattering group and began filling our programs. The music was commencing — a sentimental waltz,. I swung into my partner s arms and we glided down the floor. We had not imagined that an evening could pass so quickly. We joined our friends in the living room during intermission, v here we ceased dancing long enough to enjoy dainty chicken sandwiches, olives and coffee and delicious ice cream and cake. When Home, Sweet Home had been played and encored, and we had made our adieu, there was not one but agreed that it had been one of the loveliest parties we had ever had at St. Luke ' s. l. schwedler.

NURSING IN ARABIA A pvishing, jostling, clamoring mob of women — not a street fight, just the outward visible signs of the Women ' s Clinic. They, poor souls, may be excused their haste perhaps, for they must get home to cook their husbands ' meals. Eyes and ears are treated, teeth extracted, wounds are dressed and so on ad infinitum. That afternoon a woman comes in nearly blind from the continual brushing of the cornea by the inverted eye lashes. So the nurse dons operating gown, etc., and does a Trichiasis operation, i. e., cut a strip from the upper eye-lid, raising the level of the hair-line by sewing it above the cut-out strip. Now the woman is relieved and can see comfortably. You say all this is the work of a doctor? So it is, and that is just the role a nurse plays in Arabia for the most part, there being only two lady doctors on the Persian Gulf, one in Kuwait, and one in Mascat. Hence a nurse is called upon to do the work of a physician, for the men doctors are allowed to merely feel the pulse of the higher class women through closed curtains. Only very close relatives can look upon them. The lower classes might be helped by the male doctors, but what of the attractive, charming girls and women of the sheiks and higher classes? Are they to be allowed to suffer with no help at hand? C SAINT LUKE ' S ANNUAL 1928 1= Dear Kuwait, Persian Gulf, Arabia, July, 19—. It has been raining all morning, but has cleared up now. Even rainy days arc enjoyable here, to see the clouds stealing down from the mountains and gradually obliterating them all, then to feel the delicious coolness — we love it all. But now for the rest of my trip: The Taj Mahal, of course, transcended every- thing else, being reflected in the water as if it were mirrored. Monday morning we ate an early chota hazar, but including eggs so that we could omit breakfast if neces- sary, which It was. About six-thirty off we went in an auto to Fatehpur Sikri. This is really the Victory city, built by Akbar the Great about the sixteenth century. (Akbar, a contemporary of Elizabeth of England.) It is built mostly of red sandstone and is quite imposing with its many buildings. We first saw Akbar ' s palace with its many rooms for his three wives, a Christian, ' ' a Hindu, and a Mohamedan. Each had had her place of worship, but the Hindu wife ' s was the finest as her sons numbered more than the others ' . We saw a fine-looking Audience Hall and a hunting tower called the Elephant Tower . This is so named because Akbar ' s favorite elephant was buried beneath it. In the courtyard there are regular squares, where, the guide said, the people used to play Parchcssi, living figures in gay garments of red, blue, etc. In the evening they used to play I Spy . There is a large mosque, the Jama Mesjad, similar to the one at Mecca, with the Victory Gate on one side and the tombs of Salim Chisti and Islam Khan inside. The tomb of the former is of white marble and very beautifully inlaid with bits of Mother of Pearl. The wall has stones inlaid, making a most effective background. Salim Chisti was the high priest of Akbar. Every year on the twenty- eighth day of Ramadhon a fair is held in this place. Pilgrims flock from all parts of India to attend. Fatehpur Sikri is about eighteen miles from Agra proper, so on the way back we stopped at Sikandra to see the tomb of Akbar. The gateway is of red sandstone, the tomb itself made of the sandstone and white marble. The cenotaph is open to the skies and near it stands a carved pillar where formerly rested the famous diamond, the Kohinar, now in the King of England ' s crown. We then rested and packed and after lunch started ofl in a carriage to see the tomb of Itmad-ud Daula, the Prime Minister of Jahingar, Akbar ' s son. It is easily next to the Taj in beauty, built of purest white marble exquisitely inlaid with a variety of geometrical and floral designs from top to bottom. Tuesday morning we had early chota, then started in a carriage for the fort. The fort is more impressive than a Delhi, higher and more majestic, surrounded by a moat. We then saw the Pearl Mosque with its wonderful proportions and beautiful Saracenio pillars. From here can be seen the Jasmine Tower, where Shah Jehan was imprisoned for using the public money too freely. Next we saw the Jama Mesjid, where Akbar sat to judge, he in a black throne, his jester in a white throne by his side. We went back to the hotel for breakfast, packed and left for Delhi by train. We ate our dinner in the diner. We arrived in Delhi about eight, but didn ' t stay as long as we had expected to so were unable to take the extra ride through the city as we had planned. We went to our berths fairly early. i (95) (96) 3= c SAINT LUKE ' S ANNUAL 1928 3 At Rawal Pindi we secured a car with a good driver. Passing through Uri, the scenery was most awe-inspiring— great lofty mountains with the rushing Jhelum below in the canyons. We made some breath-taking turns but our driver was such a good one that I was not at all afraid. We climbed about seven thousand feet to Burree. From there we went down to four thousand feet at Kohala. I loved the fascinating irregular plots in the different terraces of the mountains. These were rice or paddy fields, and we could see people wading knee-deep in the water tending rice. The drive from Uri to Srinagar was an experience! We first took a long detour with the rushing river below and then the road ran along the face of the rock, quite wild and dangerous. Gradually the Jhelum became more and more sluggish, but was still beautiful. We passed some ruined Hindu temples and the scenery was lovely with flowers, ferns and the like. After we had passed BaramuUa we began to see the dis- tant snow-capped mountains. Ponds with gorgeous lilies were on our side as we drove along. We arrived at Srinagar at eleven and our cook managed to prepare an impromptu lunch from the contents of our tiffin basket. The next day was Saturday, and early in the morning we took a shikari (local name for a small boat cushioned until you felt like Cleopatra) . We saw the Maha- rajah ' s Palace, the State Hospital, the Museum at the first bridge, and Shah Hamadan Mosque just beyond the third bridge. Later m the afternoon we visited a woodcarver ' s shop. The beauty, lustre and intricate carving of the tiny desks there was delightful to behold. During the night we saw the mountain looking down upon us all, illumined with electricity and looking like a fairy palace of gold and silver. Sunday morning we attended an Uri service and met one of the local mission- aries. In the afternoon we took a shikari to Nishat Bagh, built by Jehanga, son of Akbar the Great. Seeing that made the palaces of Delhi and Agra take on new life. There are the same niches at the palaces, and here are fountains really flowing and dashing water over them. It is only on Sunday that these fountains play. Here, too, are seven terraces of flowers with fountains making an indescribably beautiful scene. Monday and Tuesday we idled about the beautiful formal gardens. Wednesday afternoon we drove to Shalimar Bagh in an auto. This Bagh is larger than the Mishat but not quite as formal or as exquisite. In Shalimar Bagh there is a lovely pavilion with strikingly black pillars. The ceiling is done in mosaic. The wonderful scenes, the magnificent palaces, the atmosphere of the Orient will leave with us a memory never to be forgotten. We left Srinagar Thursday morning, car, lorry and tonga (native carriage with two wheels) . Beneath an old chenar we had a tasty tiffin basket lunch. A little after three we arrived at Pahlgan and soon found a good site for our camp. It rained steadily all of Friday and the downpour still continues. Today in spite of the rain we are still cheerful, and enjoying our rest. Our thoughts turn towards home and we are anticipating the arrival of the home mail. Sincerely, IvA Robertson, ' 22.

Bite off more than you can chew, then chew it! Hitch your wagon to a star. Keep your seat, and there you are — Go to it! Don ' t hunt for trouble, but look for success!

So one, two, three and down they go — ■ (They act upon the gizzard), And ere much time has passed you ' ll know That this nurse is a wizard! is on at night To make the patients snore.

We probies have amusements, but. To our studies we do owe The best we have. ' Tis true We reap exactly as we sow. Sometimes we have our sorrows — We get some news from home. We wish that we could go there, The familiar spots to roam. Happiness is so plentiful, If we strew it along our way, It surely will come back to us Somehow, somewhere, some day. With purpose great and will so strong, We surely will succeed In one way or another, If our motto is: Take heed . Ruth Waca, ' 30. We toddle down the endless halls. We answer endless lights. We run to answer telephone calls. We relieve alone on nights. We scrub and clean the service rooms. We wash the dirty sills, Sometimes we have to use the brooms. As well as give the pills. We give A. M. and P. M. care. With that we have included, A bath, clean bed, the room we air. In fact, no work ' s excluded. We count and sort the linen, too, And pass it out each day, Each day we learn of something new. That we can do or say. It ' s all hard work and not much play. In spite of that — we like it. And if we ' re forced to leave — I ' ll say, Wc surely will not like it. R. E.

There peace was never staple and Ethel reigned supreme, She kept us busy with our faults which we must needs redeem. We thought ourselves the hemes and oft did some thing rash. To get the proper mixture of an appetizing hash. A dab of this and that perhaps, a portion of cream sauce, Made a handy substitute — sh! we never told the boss! When p revailing winds smelled scorchy and burn- ing food was found, We dumped the refuse in the pail while the dieti- tians frowned. We knew to do a thing like that spelled the opposite of thrift , But none of us, I do believe, were blessed with that gift. Rayola washed the dishes — we said: Better late than never! To Rayola the word hurry meant too much of an endeavor. But when it came to scrapping, Rayola took the cake, And Ethel came close second, now that is no mis- take! The memory of old Pete, and his Good mornin ' angel chant, (A saying which grew boresome, also significant) . Will linger years and years with the nurse of by- gone days, As well as all the rest which this poem here por- trays. Ruth Brinkerhoff. OUR CREED— 1930A Breathes there a nurse with spirit so dead, Who never to herself has said: This is my school and I love it dearly, I have a task and I do it cheerily. The task that I have, and you have it, too, Is to stick by our school in whatever we do. Never to lower the standards she ' s set. Always to conquer all obstacles met. And every project that for her is attempted; This applies to all, for none are exempted. So let ' s all work together, and all do our part, For our own St. Luke ' s is dear to each heart. :l! :!= From the Chapel Hall one morning. Glorious anthems filled the air, And I lay and dreamed of angels And they seemed most wond ' rous fair. But they were real, those precious angels. As they flitted up and down. At least they seemed like angels. In their spotless caps and gowns. They were spread ing hope and courage, And making life worth while, They could dim the gorgeous rainbow By the radiance of their smile. They could cheer the broken-hearted And cool the feverish brow. They could banish pain and anguish By their magic touch somehow. Young man, if you want a partner, Who will brighten up your life. Who will share your joys and sorrows, And help in every strife. Remember now I ' ve told you In this modest little verse. You ' ll find you have an angel If you wed a white capped nurse. — Anonymous.
