aen WISH that my little message of greeting and sincere congratulation could in any measure express to you the pleasure and inspiration I derived HU from my recent vi sit to the Army School of Nursing. 1 returned to mv own task profoundly impressed with the rich and unusual opportunities afforded the honor students, opportunities that 1 helieve are rarelv if ever excelled in this or other countries. To an already richly stored memory my visit adds a series of pictures that 1 hope will long remain as vivid as they are today. The splendid and highly equipped buildings in their heautiful environment that have come so rapidly and effectively into existence under General Glennan, to whom we as nurses are so indebted for the standards of nursing education and technique that obtain in the Army School; your Dean whose personal gifts and scholastic attainments enable her to represent you wi.h such grace and distinction on every occasion and who through the broad policies of the Surgeon General i enabled to continually extend the influence ami reputation of the Army Nurse Corps and School. Such leaders would inevitably gather together a notable group of administrators and teachers and of such a group is one of the most important and interesting pictures of mv series ; or is perhaps the most important, the great group of radiantlv eager faces, the student body, some with the alertness of the just beginning, some tranquil in the steadying midway, some touched with the sadness of the approaching eixl of student days? No. there can be no comparison, each has its place, becoming a composite, as it were, of unified and high purpose which leaves no doubt that, not less in times of peace than of war. you and your comrades will serve our country. all countries, well. .May your strength and courage and your joy in life never fail you.
