aon Jforetoorb I |S a class of nurses, we are about to step over the threshold of our careers. Behind us lie the patience and kindness of our school, the insjiiring records of those who have preceded us, and our ever humble and untiring efforts to succeed. It is, then, with gratitude, pride, and confidence that we look forward to the future. We can only hope and believe that these instruments, which have made it possible for us to achieve the first accomplishment, will continue with us in memory and in fact to lighten our liurdens and urge us on to new endeavors. The responsil)ility of our task confronts us as we leave our school to take up practical work in fields where our Science is sorely needed. We can not helj) counting our purpose a high one, and the opportunities which lie before us boundless in their extent. To all those who have given their time and effort to make this book suc- cessful, we give our sincere thanks, and we feel that it is greatly through their efforts that we are able to present to our classmates this volume which, we hope, will be not only a pleasant reminder of busy days together, but a S3mbol of the ties which bind us to this institution, and of the important w ork for which it stands. There is left for us, then, to bid farewell to our faculty, to our classmates au revoir, and to our purpose to say — Ad astra per aspera. Marth.v Patton, 192,?. iS - 1923 - 12]
