Watts School of Nursing - White Cap Yearbook (Durham, NC)

THEME INCE MEDICINE, as a science, has its incep- S tion in Greece, we, quite naturally, think of Greek hospitals as being the first institutions built expressly for the care of the sick. These hos- pitals were known as diakonia; hence, the title of our book. This being our first yearbook—a new step into the future—we thought it only proper to have as a ba ckground the history of nursing. The decorative note, we hope, conveys something of the idea. The very excellent illustration of nursing history in the front of the book is from Stewart and Dock’s History of Nursing and is used with the permission of Miss Isabel Stewart of Teachers’ College, Colum- bia University. The photograph of Florence Night- ingale on page twenty-one is from the National Portrait Gallery, London, England. PAGE FIVE

CEE ll) Seer 2 = ORS ot (5 al —- IDs IONE AVIEIICOUN E, WHOSE lives are pledged to service for mankind, have a fitting example and a constant inspiration in this young man, whose inherited pre-eminence and wealth have only been incentives to further the progress and welfare of his community and, in particular, to improve the prestige of our institution. For his illustrious service to the people of Durham County and his untiring efforts in behalf of Watts Hospital and its School of Nursing, we take pleasure in paying honor to the namesake of our original patron and dedicate this, our first volume, to George Watts Hill.
