OSLER, WILLIAM. 1849-1919.


Autograph Manuscript, likely a fragment of a draft for an address to nurses in training at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, 1 p, trimmed to 110 x 118 mm, in pencil, [Baltimore, c1891,] chip to corner.In full: "The development of our Training School has been I know a source of unfettered pleasure to the Trustees & the members of the Medical Board. [Four words crossed out] As the other departments of the Johns Hopkins foundations, it has from the start had natural, rather I may say continual affiliations. Tis a pleasant thought that through the benign influence of these Institutions will be scattered far and wide, that you will carry." This text does not appear in Osler's address "Doctor and Nurse" that he delivered in 1891 to graduates of the first class of graduates from the Johns Hopkins Training School for Nurses. See GR 1141.
