From our yesterdays come our tomorrows. Deeply rooted in the nursing profession and in the Hfe of Chicago, the story of St. Luke ' s Hospital and School of Nursing unfolds as an inspiration to all who are of nursing, from nursing and for nursing. — The editor of First page 15, July, 1950. The purpose of the school is: to maintain a standard of ideals commensurate with the needs of today and tomorrow worthy of the high ideals of the founders; . . . — So the school has endeavored to live throughout its 65 years. Six stu- dents graduated in 1887, 52 in 1950. From a modest building on Indiana Ave- nue in 1885 new buildings have been added and some since torn down to make way for other new buildings. The Stickney House for the school was built in 1898, the Smith Memorial on Michigan Avenue in 1908, in 1925 the 21 story building on Indiana Avenue, in 1928 Grace Episcopal Church was dedicated south of the hospital, in 1943 Schweppe House, the present home of our school was dedicated and in 1948 the Morton Clinic Building was opened. So build- ings followed buildings to serve the program of the hospital and the school, but more important than buildings were the lives of service dedicated to the needs of the hospital and the school and the community. Two thousand six hundred and forty three nurses have graduated since the founding of the shool and over 300 of these graduates came to pay tribute to their alma mater and to greet old friends and to make new friends at the 65th anniversary held May 25th through May 27th. The festivities started with the beautiful graduation service in St. James ' Church on Thursday. Fri- day afternoon Schweppe House was crowded for the Homecoming Tea, proud mothers brought their children, classmates renewed friendships, senior students met leaders of the profession returned for the reunion. Friday night the John B. Murphy Memorial Auditorium was the scene of the one formal meeting of the celebration. Miss Nellie X. Hawkinson, Professor of Nursing Education of the University of Chicago, and Dr. G. K. Fenn, Senior Attend- ing Physician at St. Luke ' s Hospital were the principal speakers. Dr. Fenn spoke of the rich heritage St. Luke ' s has given her doctors and nurses. Miss Hawkinson spoke of education for nurses of the future. The school chorus sang and the finale of the program was an historical pageant of nursing, little Miss Nancy Leahy, age 4, in full student uniform, brought much applause as the St. Luke ' s nurse of the future. Saturday morning a short talk on the future of Our School of Nursing prefaced demonstrations of modern nursing care in the various specialties. After the demonstrations over 200 nurses were guests of our Woman ' s Board at a lovely buffet luncheon. Walter, our pastry cook, excelled his skills with a beautiful and delicious six tier birthday cake which greeted the guests and was later served. The climax of the celebration was the annual Alumnae ban- quet Saturday evening, made especially distinguished by the presence of Miss Julia Dawson, class of ' 95, representatives of the 50 year class and many representatives of the 25 year class, as well as over 300 graduates, one of whom flew from Sweden to attend. Members of the graduating class were inspired guests of the Alumnae Association. The whole celebration was jointly sponsored by the St. Luke s Hospital School of Nursing Alumnae Association and our Nursing Council. Much credit for its success goes to Mrs. Floyd Millis, class of ' 31, our president, and to Mrs. James Gough, class of ' 21, general chairman. The Anniversary was more than a friendship gathering, it was a deep expression of affection, loyalty and solicitude to our alumnae association, hospital and school, the kind of affection, loyalty and solicitude which will give our nurses the support which will hold them strong and steady for the best in nursing education and nursing service. MADHLEINK McCONNELL Director of St. Luke s Hospital School of Nursing
