•Btrerior (®f jlctjool Sister A. Fleury, s.g.m. Education is not merely to fill themindwith other men’s thoughts and to be the passive recipient of their impressions of things and the acquiescent concurrer in their judgments. The purpose of learning is to enlarge our individual intelligence: we do not wish to copy a master’s work but to express our own thought and feeling.” Dear Graduates: The above quotation may be applied to the Nursing Course which you have just completed. You have acquired a special body of knowledge and specific skills which will equip you to render services as a professional nurse in any type of nursing situation. The educational programme which you have followed is the same for each of you - but your per¬ sonal response to this education is unique. This individuality must be preserved and the educational process in you should grow continuously. Further education is now, and will be, as necessary as life itself. Therefore, do not be satisfied with half measures in your aim for continued perfection of your knowledge, abilities and professional commitments. God has given each one of you individual talents and these should be developed to the fullest extent by your own personal efforts. True education, or the enrichment of your abilities, engenders enthusiasm - and enthusiasm is communicative. It is your patients and fellow nurses with whom you come in contact who will be the beneficiaries of your good works. May your light shine before men that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.” Congratulations and God be with you always. Sister A. Fleury, s.g.m. Director, School of Nursing

,i®totljer roiitncial Dear Student Nurses: During your high school days, you often pondered these symbolic words of Ulysses: , . . all experience is an arch where through Gleams that untravelled world, whose margin fades Forever and forever when I move.” As you stand on the threshold of a new life of service and dedication, may the spirit of the poet guide you on to an untiring and neverfading devotion to your ideal. You are indeed entering an untravelled world, despite the recent astounding discoveries in psychology, psychiatry, sociology, and the medical sciences. I am happy to voice the good-wishes of all my Sisters of the St. Boniface Province when I fervently pray that you may have the grace ever To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” Mother Rita Fortier Provincial Superior j tsier j upmor My dear Nurses — Today, you have reached one goal — graduation. To each and everyone I extend my most sincere congratulations. Although you have now reached the ultimate goal, it should not be looked upon as the final purpose of your training. A true nurse has an urge and an inspiration that comes from the realization that as she serves others she ministers as a representative of God. In this accomplishment you will be challenged to strive for new goals. Do not cast them aside but choose them cautiously keeping in mind these immortal words of St. Francis of Assisi: Lord, grant that I may seek To comfort rather than to be comforted, To understand rather than to be understood, To love rather than to be loved: For- It is by giving that one receives, It is by self-forgetting that one finds, It is by dying that one wakens to eternal life.” Sister Lucille Gosselin,s.g.m. Administrator Sister Lucille Gosselin, s.g.m.
