W N cw 'ae 7Qe 7cwp4 TRIBUTE TO THE CLASS or 1948 0 You of th offer my sincere congratulations. Unciou'iitedIy, for many of you, this graciuation is the realization of a dream and time fulfillment of an icieai 'having its inception in gciuiictiioooi and ciieristieo throughout your years. ' e Class of 1948, upon tile completion of your formal training, I En innocence of ciogmatsim, I can state that a consicierainie -portion of you, in c' ilcliloofi, white -tmanciaging and caring for hairy-cioiis, founci admiration and EHSAPIFHHOH in some nurse who was tendering a memtoer of your family or caring or one beloved to you. Time, as always it shalt tae, time inevitable aiterer, finds you now that - ii- ' ' ' ' d nurse, W om to some ctuici of tencier years will 'ine 'tile creator of an i eat and' the fosterer of a way of life. Be minciiui ,of sucii a cimaiienge in chartering tile path of your future. i You ciiose to enter time fieici -of nursing when time world was in turmoii, at a tim it ii - ' ' ' ' ' e W en ot er young women were Hocking to jotos in industry or in War agencies, wiiere -nominal remuneration was 'far greater than any' you would re- ECIV6. gn so doing, you have shown that vou are not in nursing for personal gain L ut rat' er for the iove and desire to rencier your aid and services to tile iii anci suffering. Your professiong time caring for time 'siciqitiie iniiicteci, anci time oiisatyieci tias, since time immemorial, been one of approioation, distinction, and no-bility. Vvittlout tile aid of time nurse, tile science of medicine and the medical profession would never 'have progressed to its present prominence. Heed aiw ' D 'ays to your caiiing, hesitate never to render your knowledge and aioiiity, to tile aioi of humanity. Your training has not toeen a task of ease. Your instructors, lacking adequate imeip, were extremely iiandica-piped and uncier great strain, lout they dict a spienciici joio. The -doctors with Wiiom you worked were also tired ancii strained to tile utmost. Gften we spoke to you in unkind words which must 'have 'hurt you deeply, as you were giving every effort to do your toest and giving your all to aid us. I 'imope you can 'forgive us for ttiese unkincinesses, as SUC41 were not our real intentions. We love you ati, and we appreciate sincerely all that you 'have put forth to our aici anci sympathy. May the doctor anci time nurse always Work side by side, striving always to relieve tile suffering ancito restore tirose who are iii ftaack again to tieaittl. - nAnct last, not least, in each perplexing case Learn. the sweet magic of a ctieerfut face Not always smiting, but at least serene When grief and anguish crowot time anxious scene Eactitook, each movement, every word anct tone Should tell the patient you are att his own. Not the mere artist, purctiasect to attenct But the warm, reacty, self-forgetting frienct Whose genial presence in itself combines The best of corctiats, tonics, anoctynesf, ,-Qiiver Wendell Holmes, NLD., 1849.
