This volume, written by a former director of the school, covers the establishment of the Roosevelt Hospital and the need for the establishment of the School of Nursing. It discusses the admittance requirements, the establishment of its curriculum, and development of the school under four of its first directors and the establishment of its Alumnae Association. It also includes chapters on the nurses serving during World War I and II and includes rosters listing those names, as well as many photographs of the nurses and students during the first fifty years.
