Page Two Forward From uncapped students to graduates, From old nurses’ residence to new, From basic nurses’ training to professional nursing, From one beginning to a new beginning. Yes, we've come a long way and we now have the opportunity to reminisce and to express our deep appreciation to all of those who have contributed so much to our progress. As we turn these pages, we think of the be- ginning, when each one of us, coming from differ- ent homes and places, began to live and work together, share each others joys and sorrows, and now, still have so much in common, we take our respective places in nursing, always to work together.

Fred G. Carter, M. D. Superintendent To the Class of 1950 Greetings! I congratulate you upon your entry into one of the oldest and yet one of the newest fields of human endeavor. As far back as historians have been able to probe, there have always been people who concerned themselves about the health and physical well being of their fellow men. Nursing is one of the more recent manifestations of this interest. Of late, on local, national, and international levels there seems to have been a vast upsurge of public interest in the activities of the whole field of health and many expansive changes appear to be in the making. I can’t say what all of these changes are likely to be, but I am certain that many are inevitable and they give promise of furnishing great career opportunities for thousands and thou- sands of young people searching for lifetime occupations. I believe that the health field is destined to become one of the largest employers of people in the world. It is just beginning to get to its feet. It is only now awakening to a full realization of its potentialities and its responsibilities. It is grad- ually emerging from its shell of provincialism into a world of cosmopolitan interest. It well may be the basis for a better understanding of world problems by the peoples and nations of the earth, for if we understand the physical and mental health needs of the individual thoroughly and make him right in his subjective feelings, his attitudes, his outlooks and his relationships with his fellow men, the world will take care of itself. The health field stands out as one of the newest great fields of opportunity. Your entry into nursing at this time assures you an important place in the great developments that are in the offing. Sincerely, F. G. Carter, M. D. Superintendent Page Four
