      US AA002 · Collection · 1876-1928

      These papers consist of material by and about Dr. Abraham Jacobi and were gathered by The Mount Sinai Hospital over the years due to his importance to the Hospital. The most interesting component of the collection is the folder of eleven letters, which relate primarily to Dr. Jacobi's various roles at Mount Sinai, in particular his service as Chairman of the Supervisory Committee of the Dispensary and as the Pediatrician in Chief. The latter is represented by a letter from 'several Pacints' [sic] complaining to Jacobi about the cruelty of the Night Nurse on the ward. There is also an interesting letter from Emil Gruening, MD in 1909 commenting about the problems he has had in the Eye and Ear Department with an unnamed adjunct physician. There are also two letters where Jacobi offers his assessment of two unnamed patients.

      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.
