. PHOEBE lvl. KANDEL. B. S. Director of the College of Nursing and Health As you approach the threshold with the close of your three years' work in Nursing Education, the School of Nursing and Health asks you to pause and reliect over the health project it has endeavored to imbue you with in order that you may take your place in the uplift of the health of the human race. Nursing and Nursing Education have developed from a long road of tradi- tions, leach milestone having as its guidepost, the ideal of service. Nurses, as messengers of health, carry a master key of the street, for they are called by all classes of society, and are used by all organizations or institutions, governmental or private, that deal with health. ln the words of Mary Adelaide Nutting, educator and builder: If the nurses of the future work as loyally, as courageously and as steadfastly, if they hold before them the vision of what nursing should be as faithfully as their sisters of the past have done, nursing will indeed come into her own. 29
