It is again my great privilege to salute the graduating class of the Army School of Nursing. With each year the bond of friendship is strengthened, and not alone by the coming to the Vale School of mem- bers of the Army School, but by an ever-deepening realization of our relationship through our mutual pledge to a great cause — our co nse- cration, as it were, to the up-building of the race. Many schools of nursing assure their students of the attainment of a high degree of skill in the technical procedures of remedial nursing. Fcit ' if any so consistently provide, as do our two schools, the compre- hensive preparation through botii theory and practice in the subjects essential for the muse who interprets her function as that of health teacher as well as practitioner of nursing. For the graduates of the Army School we dare also to predicate that steadfastness of purpose, that devotion to duty that in all lands have been outstanding characteristics of those who serve their country under its military system. I extend to you, dear colleagues, as blazers of new trails and build- ers of finer mansions for the spirit of the future, my warmest congratu- lations on the successful reaching of the first milestone in this great adventure, and my affectionate wishes for the continued success of each and every member of the class.
