NURSES CREATE FUND TO HONOR NORA YOUNG
The creation of an endowment fund in recognition of the services
of Nora E. YOUNG, superintendent of Caledonian Hospital was 
announced by Miss Henrietta RYAN, president of the hospital 
alumnae at commencement exercises last night. Twenty-three
students of the training school received their diplomas in the 
auditorium of the nurses' home, 45 Woodruff avenue.
The endowment fund, it is designed, will provide a yearly medal
to a pupil nurse, a personal service medal every five years for out-
standing performance without pay, and the giving of blood transfusions
to the poor should the principal of the fund reach $10,000. The 
directors of the hospital already have made an initial contribution of
$500 to the fund. The Irving Trust Company has been named trustee.
Earl P. WATKINS, superintendent of schools, Herkimer County, made
the address to the graduates. Other speakers were Dr. Joseph 
TENOPYR and Gerald CAMPBELL, British Counsul General. Miss Marie
BEHLIN, superintendent of nurses, presented the diplomas and school 
pins.
The Hippocratic oath was administrated by Dr. William JEWETT. The
invocation was pronounced by the Rev. Wallace GARDNER, pastor of 
St. Paul's Church, and the Rev. Francis A. FITZGERALD, of the Holy
Innocents' Church, said the convocation. D. G. C. SINCLAIR, president
of the board of directors, presided and made the awards.
