I f- A T0 the ran!mzz'z'fzgeCla.f5 HE President and Alumnae of St. Luke's Hospital School of Nursing welcomes you into your new profession. VV e have known you as student nurses, now We greet you as graduates. The Alumnae Association of St. Luke's Hospital was organized in 1890. X'Ve still hold to the same purposes and objects: The union of graduates of St. Luke's School of Nursing for promoting fellowship, for extending aid to those of us in troubleg and to provide for our members in sickness. Also there is the concerted effort on the part of the Alumnae Association to give hearty support to all the interests and activities of our St. Luke's School of Nursing. VVe especially co-operate with District No. 9 of the California State Nurses' Association, as well as the American Nurses' Association in furthering the ethical and educational ad- vancement of our profession. You see then we think of ourselves, we graduates of St. Luke's Hospital, as responsible for the profession of nursing in the United States as well as in Cali- forniag we also feel a responsibility for the nurses of our own Alumnae Association in a personal way. For instance, during the year l926-1927, that is between the last and the present graduating classes, St. l,uke's Alumnae paid out some nine hundred dollars for the care of sick members. Vlfe have contributed to the National Relief Fund for nurses and also to the Mississippi Relief Fund. At present our Endowment fthe interest of which is used for the Sick Benefitsj, amounts to about nfteen thousand dollars. lt may be well to remind you that this fund was materially added to from the proceeds of the Annual Bazaar and Dance given on St. Luke's Day. Let me here, in the name of the Alumnae Association, thank the School of Nursing for the efforts of both student and head nurses lin making this a success. Uur graduates at present number about Eve hundred, only one hundred and fourteen of whom are active members paying dues, as many of our nurses are married or are not actively engaged in nursing. In conclusion let me, in the name of our Association, offer you the opportunity and the privilege of membership with us. VV e have made provision in our Constitu- tion and By-laws for recent graduates who for some reason have not yet received their R. N., to become eligible for active membership entitling them to Sick Bed Benefits. You will receive a form and explanation on your Graduation day, you may call on me or any other member of the Alumnae for further information. Let me now urge on you the duty and privilege of becoming a member of the Alumnae As- soeiation of St. Luke's Hospital School of Nursing to which we shall welcome you. Sincerely, lllAliEl, A. GARNHAM. l50l

Uflumfzz' eff Sfzori Ebczract-j9t0f1z a Coupe! Sermon at Sami Lzzlrels H0spz'taZ It is unconscionahly hard 'lor a nurse who has an eighty-four hour working week to find time for Church attendance. It is hard to find time for religious formal prayers. Dangerous as this may sound--dangerous towards a spiritual sluggishness-might it not be true that Nursing itself is a form of prayer just as it is, in its highest performance, a service rendered to God. Many a Nurse with little time in her twelve-hour clay is hut substituting one form of service for an- other. After all going to Church and formal prayer is provided by Godg whereas heinff a ffood nurse and a nolmle woman is chiellv of our own choosinff' b 'O , vb' MY Prczyerjhr Saint Lzziels Scion! 0f.7Vursz'7zg Eternal Father hless the members and Alumnae of Saint l,uke's School of Nurs- ing. Bind all the nurses together in love and sympathy and forelnearance. Brighten the daily routine of Classroom, Hospital and Home with words and actions of kindliness. Help all nurses to leave each for the other so that they learn to serve Thee in the Work of their profession as Nurses. Amen. Risv. I. H. On1.11o1fF. i521
