The daughter of wealthy society persons. Florence. when 20. was |uESBntEd to the court of the Young Queen Victoria. No doubt Florence could have had her pick of eligible husbands for she pas- sessed great charm and beauty. But she was more interested in sick folk. And so we find her spending much of her time in the great hospitals in England and studying their methods for taking care of the sick. Then she went away to take the hard nurse training of that day in convent hospitals in Paris and along the Rhine —- the only female student nurse. At the end of her course she reurned to England and made

a great mark in the medical world by reorganizing the san- atoriums of the London institu-

tion.

Soon Florence was known as the best nurse in the world, as well as the first woman nurse. The Crimean \var gave her her big chance to prove her metal.

Every night, no matter how hard she had worked that day, she made her rounds to cheer the sick. Think of it! Out of these nightly round sprang the im- mortal phrase: "The lady with the lamp."

. . o

At the vvar's end with her own health broken. England raised a fund of $250,000 for her; most of this sum went to found the Night- ingale Home for Convalcscents.

Gifted beyond most women. Florence Nightingale gave the world some fine books on nurs- ing as well as indispensable ad-

vice to hospital staffs all over the world.

She died in 1910 at the age of 90, or rather passed frotn this

world for she will always be rc- membcrcd as an angel of mercy -The Lady with the Lamp.

The college is located at King- ston. Ontario, known as the Na- tional Dcfense College. This lllll- que institution teaches its stu- denll how to conduct total \v.-ir. Its objective is to cdticate senior officers for the U. S. A. and Can- ada in secret data on the prin- ciples of" higher government ad- ministration. The college opened in 1948. 27 students are enrolled, with I 6-man staff.
