A JCook at the Mature - - The phrase, look to the future , is being heard frequently in these days of rapid change and new developments. So too, the admonition, remember, is used over and over in our daily living. Remember the early beginnings, the struggles and accomplishments; remember the past as a guide to the present. As students, especially as preclinicals and freshmen, we were inclined to be so engrossed in our work and in such deep concentration over our individual efforts that we were unaware of the strong forces which molded nursing into the high profession of today. True, History of Nursing was a part of the early curriculum, but there existed little basis for comparison and thus no appreciation of the steady rise of standards, skills and status through the years. And the future? Our future was very vague and obscure many times then — our progress punctuated by memorable and morale lifting events — actual possession of blues , capping. Junior Crosses, Senior cuffs, and the crowning glory, whites ! The future of nursing as a vital, expanding, and strongly influential pro- fession is dependent upon its members ' actions, which in turn are governed by the nurses ' aims and ideals, an appreciation of their rich heritage, and a concept of the problems and improvements which the future holds. The pro- fession can be as large as the influence of its individual members. If, when you look to the future, you see a stronger nursing unity between countries, expanded psychiatric and public health fields, new nursing re- sponsibilities assumed, improved clinical education for students, or modern nursing in the remote parts of the earth, remember that the nurses of today, those with high ideals and an eye to the future, actively participating in their field of nursing and composing an integral part of their district and state nursing organizations, are the actual makers of tomorrow. Trust no Future, howe ' er pleasant! Let the dead Past bury its dead! Act, — act in the living Present! Heart within, God o ' erhead! Lives of great men remind us We can make our lives sublime And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time; Footprints, that perhaps another. Sailing o ' er life ' s solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us, then, be up and doing — With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing. Learn to labor and to wait.
