RTHE ART or NURSING IS THE GIFT OF con 'C lb Page PRESENTATION OF PLACOUE TO SCHOOL BY CLASS '32 YV To show our joy and deep appreciation to the Charles S. Wilson Memorial School of Nursing, and all who have helped us to attain our long-cherished ambition of becoming members of the nursing profession, we, the Class of 1932, Wish to present this placque of Florence Nightingale, the one who had the courage and inspiration to found such a noble profession. Florence Nightingale, of a wealthy and socially prominent English family, was born in England in 1820. During her youth she was constantly trying to serve her fellowman and, as she grew older, she realized how little was being done to ease their sufferings. Then she decided to devote her life to find ways and means of helping the sick. She went to diierent hospitals to study their methods. In 1854 she become an out- standing figure through her work in the Crimean War. She established hospitals and nursing service for the soldiers. Thus, through her self-sacrifice and zeal she started the profession which is now one of the most honored and esteemed professions of the world. We who have upheld the ideals of Florence Nightingale present this placque to you and we hope that it will prove an inspiration to you who have chosen this profession for your life work. Forty
