SCHOOL OF NURSING PRESBYTERIAN - ST. LUKES HOSPITAL CHICAGO oreiAJOh Now we are one. This year we have seen the actual physical merger of two great institutions. This is the 1959 edition of ALPHA, a living record of our activities and memories. As we leave to take our places in this modern world, the instruc- tors we have had and the friendships we have made will be a lasting memory. It is impossible to record all of our thoughts and feelings in this our yearbook. In the years that you remain at Presbyterian-St. Lukes may you experience and enjoy the feelings that are ours as we realize we have attained our goal. THE EDITORS EDITH D.

Tessen RESBYTERIAN Page 5 We, the senior class of the Presbyterian Unit of the Presbyterian-St. Lukes Hospital School of Nursing, have chosen to dedicate our portion of the nineteen fifty-nine edition of the ALPHA to our senior clinical instructor, Miss Marilyn Smith. To our class Miss Smith was not only an excellent clinical instructor and a conscien- tious nurse but, most of all, a friend who shared the happiness and, sometimes, unhappi- ness of our senior year. Years from now while paging through our yearbooks, we shall be reminded of the close and pleasant relationship we shared with the smiling person we all knew and admired so very much.

As we became a part of this department, filled with drama, tension, excitement and skill, we felt the marvel that took place through the knowledge and knife of the surt eon.

VISITING NURSES ASSOCIATION To those who went on this affiliation the skill of caring for the patient at home under improvised situations was added to their experiences. ! TRANSFUSION THERAPY SERVICE A week spent in this department enables us to acquire still another skill. OUT-PATIENT DEPARTMENT Because the out-patient department provided a means of health supervision, instruc- tion and care for the underprivileged, it was gratifying to participate in this area.

A sick child is a precious gem — one worthy of all the care we can provide. Trust, warmth, and love are his needs — our reward is satisfaction. latncs ' The little ones leaped and shouted and laughed and all the hills echoed William Blake Page 39 PRESBYTERIAN — ST.

The cupcake-shaped cap and the blue cross on the sleeve of the blue uniform are traditional of the St. Luke ' s student. Students are still inspired by the re- membrance of an early Director of Nursing, Miss Catherine Lett, who taught her ladies daily discipline and spiritual devotion. Miss Madeline Mc- Connel, an able organizer, became Di- rector of Nurses in 1942. Schweppe House, erected in 1942, provided ade- quate housing and educational facilities for student nurses. The aim of the St. Luke ' s School of Nursing might well be summed up in the Scripture verse inscribed on the school pin. And heal the sick that are therein and say, ' the Kingdom of God has come nigh unto you. ' St. Luke 10:9- Fifty seven years ago on April 1, 190 , Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing opened its doors. Miss M. Helena McMillan founded the school and served as its director for thirty-five years. The first students were housed in residences on Ashland Boulevard. In the fall of 1912 the students moved into Sprague Home, the residence which was built as a memorial to O. S. G. Sprague. Page 64 :a( Led On As progress was continually being made, changes in the regulations had to occur to keep pace with the changing times. After comparing the 1905 regulations with our regulations in 1959, I am sure we will all agree that we are fortunate to have entered nurses training fifty-six years later. 1903 The rising hour was 5:15. The home was closed at 10 p.m. and the students must have their lights out by 10:30 p.m. No food could be taken out of the cafeteria. No visitors were allowed to stay over night or to eat in the cafeteria. The tuition was $25.00. 1959 The rising hour is anytime one wishes as long as she makes her first class. Our hours are now 12 p.m. on week nights and 1 a.m. on weekends, with special late leaves for dances. No lights out. Now we can take anything out of the cafeteria. We may have visitors for meals and overnight. The tuition now is about Si 200.00 The Presbyterian student uniform is a short- sleeved blue dress over which a white-bibbed apron is worn for duty. Graduates of Presby- terian have described their hat as being similar to birds ' wings or to the sails of a boat. The last students to wear this uniform will graduate in September of 1959. From 1939 until 1941 iVlrs. Dorothy Rogers Williams directed the school. She was suc- ceeded by Miss Henrietta Froehlke who served as director until 1950. It was during the second year of Miss Sylvia Melby ' s term of office ( 1950-1956) that the school moved to its pres- ent site at 1743 W. Harrison Street. Miss Edith D. Payne was rewarded for her long hard work on the merging of the two schools when she was appointed Director of Nursing of Presbyterian-St. Luke ' s Hospital in July of 1956. On September 18. 1957, 200 student nurses entered as the first class in the new School of Nursing of Presbyterian-St. Luke ' s Hospital. Due to lack of dormitory and educational facili- ties at the present site the first class was divided between the two units. On September 17, 1958, a class of 1 79 Freshmen registered and will re- main at the present site until their nurse in- ternship in the third year. The new uniform is gray with a white collar and bow. The cap, a combination of the caps of the two schools, is a square shallow cap made of organdy. Le Yjiaktinqaie Jf ieda I solemnly pledge myself before God, and in the presence of this assembly, To pass my life in purity and to practice my profession faithfully. I will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous, and will not take or knowingly administer any harmful drug. I will do all in my power to maintain and elevate the standard of my profession, and will hold in con- fidence all personal matters committed to my keeping and all family affairs coming to my knowledge in the practice of my profession. With loyalty will I endeavor to aid the physician in his work, and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care. Page 70
