Anthony Weins MARTHA HAWKINS SMITH Martha Lee Hawkins Smith, a graduate of Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, Western Reserve University, 1928, came to Saint Luke’s Hospital in the fall of the year 1937. She had received much of her graduate teaching experience at Teacher’s College, Columbia University, and her practical knowledge of public health through her association with the Cleveland Division of Health, Maternal Health Association, and Visiting Nurse Association. As an instructor in public health nursing she assisted in the reorganiza- tion and teaching program for the Out-Patient Department at Saint Luke’s Hospital. For three years she encouraged and directed each student who came within her field of observation. Her willingness to listen and her sym- pathetic understanding endeared her to all of us who knew her. She seemed to have an infinite amount of patience and awareness of the things of life which seemed most important. Her cheerful attitude and alert personality rade everyone love her. Her philosophy of life was so helpful for there was never a situation or idea expressed that she did not lend a guiding and willing hand. Perhaps we cannot express our thoughts in any better way than that in which a very dear member of her family did at the time of his bereave- ment. ‘How many of us can feel that within so short a space of a life- time we had touched and perhaps controlled or guided as many lives as Martha Lee?’’ This seemed to help lessen somewhat the shock of losing her, for we began to realize that she had given to all of us some part of her philosophy of life—a part which cannot be taken away.

FRED G. CARTER, M.D. Superintendent To the Graduating Class of 1941: Greetings! As the time of your commencement draws near no doubt you are conscious of the approach of greater responsibilities which you must assume as individuals. Your lives pass into your own hands to do with as you will. How well you succeed will depend upon what you put into these lives, how well you adjust to the circumstances which confront you, how much you strive to improve both your inherent and your acquired talents for living and working. The Saint Luke’s Hospital is proud of the part which it has played in moulding the career which you are to follow. Those who are responsible for the operation of the Hospital and its School of Nursing will watch with keen interest your pathways of development and accomplishment. We are, and will continue to be, proud of all of you and your efforts, and in turn, we hope that our guidance of the affairs of the Hospital may always be such as to reflect credit upon you. With kind and cordial good wishes, | am Sincerely, Fred G. Carter, M.D. Superintendent Ten
