HON. THOMAS CAREY, PRESIDENT
OF THE CHICAGO LIFE INSUR
ANCE COMPANY AND CHAIRMAN
OF THE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE
TO RAISE ONE HUNDRED THOU
SAND DOLLARS FOR A GREATER
FORT DEARBORN HOSPITAL AND
TRAINING SCHOOL FOR COLORED
NURSES, ISSUES THE FOLLOWING
APPEAL TO THE COLORED CiTI
ZENS OF CHICAGO-
CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER .8, 1921
I wish to state that a number of lead
ing citizens called upon me to accept
the General Chairmanship of the Fort
Dearborn Hospital and Training School
for Nurses in their fund-raising cam
paign for $100,000. I hesitated for
sometime, owing to the many business
interests with which I am connected,
that requires my personal attention,
and I was loath to accept the honor at
this time, but after listening to their
most worthy and human appeal, I in
vestigated the institution and the men
who were directors and advisory mem
bers of the board, and found them
some of the prominent business men
residing in the immediate community,
in whom the management conld safely
be entrusted for the benefit of the
masses, second to none, and that the
Fort Dearborn Hospital and Training
School for Nurses, being a real public
institution, controlled by public spirit
ed men for the public good, with a
charter, not for profit, and not owned
by physicians, have a right to appeal
to the public at large for funds to car
ry on the work of the institution of
w"hich a large part is charitable.
Therefore, I consented to be the Gen
eral Chairman of the campaign, and
have surrounded mysolf with many of
the leading white and colored men and
women to carry on this movement.
Therefore, I now ask 'and desire loy
alty and co-operation from the colored
men and women as well as the white
people who can be served in the area of
this institution for their hearty sup
port. I have every reason to believe
that my request will be granted and
that a Greater Fort Dearborn Hospital
and Training School will become a
reality within the next thirty days,
and that it will stand out as a monu
ment to the Community's Progress.

mends the Movement on the Part
of the Colored People to Acquire a
Larger Hospital In This City.
The following letter speaks for it
self: St. Anne's Church. 153 West 55th
street. Mr. Julius F. Taylor. My
Dear Mr. Taylor: I notice In Tht
Broad Ax that a movement is on foot
to erect a larger hospital for the col
ored people of Chicago.
This is a most commendable under
taking and the colored citizens are
to be congratulated on their desire to
care for their sick brethren and they
should be encouraged by every citizen
of Chicago in a. substantial way to
place jn our midst an Institution
where their people can receive prop
er training to enable them to care for
the poor and infirm of their own race.
The Hon. Thomas Carey being
chairman of the committee means the
movement will be a success.
Your friend.
E. A. KELLY, Pastor.
