at John Marshall High

HONORS FOR MISS VAN VORT
Dr. Robins Tells Graduates That
Superintendent Sit? >uld
lie Their Model.
Before a large croiod in the John
Murahall High School Inst night seven
graduates of the Memcrlul Hospital
School ftu Nurses were presented with
their diplomas und pins und with the
administration of the oath by Superln
t< ndenl Itosa Van Vuri. and were de?
clared by President Christopher Tomp
kins, of Hie Medical College of Vir?
ginia, graduate nurses, fully equipped
and competent to' practice their pro?
fession.
The graduating address was deliver?
ed by l>r. James C. Molcalf, 61 Rich?
mond, whose speech wat for the most
pan <>n the Influence of the trained
nurse In the attainment uf social
Ideals. Unlike seine who speak "ii
the subject he dwelt more upon her ns|
a means toward the llnal accomplish
men! of universal pence, rather than,
as an accompaniment ?>f war. Taking
the careers >?i Klorence Nightingale
nud Clara Barton, generally coupled
with their work In war time, he show?
ed how their labors were directed ul?
timately to ?iinivers.il pence und the
brotherhood of man. toward which thel
whole creation moves.'
Miss Van Vort. at tne conclusion or
Dr. Mctcatl s address, read the nurse s
oath with each of the graduates re?
peating the words arter tier.
l>r Charles It. Robins then delivered
the diplomas and pins to the graduates,
who are as follows; M'-s B. Josephine
Humphreys. Miss Bessie Kdwarrts lrv
Ing, Miss Susie Elisabeth Knight, Miss
Mnmle Walton Putney, Miss Kllxabeth
Lewis Itiebmond. Mi^s Jessie Lcnora
Sox toil and Miss Elizabeth Thompson.
I'rulscs Ml*? \ tiTi Vorl.
in making his charge to the women
who were about to no ? tit for the prac?
tice of their profession, Dr. Robins
said that While Miss Union ami Miss
Nightingale, as they had been told,
"ere figures that every trained nurse
might follow, he could give no belter
model for their guidance than Miss
Van Vort. und>M- whose training they
had obtained their diplomas.
"For unswerving devotion to duty
and to the Institution Hint she und
represented for nine ytars," said Dr.
Robins, "I can point out to you no
better example than yi?ur superinten?
dent." Cominning, he said that while
those women with international re
potations undoubtedly were worthy of
Uli that had been said of them, he had
no doubt hut that ailss Van Vort pos?
sessed characteristics equalling thens.
and that under like conditions sho
would measure up In every way to Hit
standards set by them. Th's tribute to
Hi.- woman that is known to nearly
every one In the cltv. was greeted
with a grrnt burst of applause by the.
audience, to the evident embarrassment]
of Miss Van Vort.
St'II laboring under the effects of
Dr. Roblns's unexpected compliment.
Miss Van Vort read her repott of the
training echbol for the year past. As
she regained her composure', the gath
f i i it it heard with more handclaps her
history of the school, which not only
took in ths work "f the year, hut re?
viewed the Institution since she was
made superintendent, thus showing
the gradual but sure progress made
from year to year with a word con?
cerning the alumnae, Ind'catlng that
th" Interest and influence of the
school does not end with graduation.
Including the seven graduates, there
were enrolled during '.he last session
frrty-n.no students, divided between
senior. Intermediate and junior classes
an.! prohationlsts.
The exercises were closed with the
benediction by Rev. P. Joseph Magrl,
l> 1>. who also offered the Invocation.
A dame In honor of Ihe graduate--,
tendered by the alumnae, will take
place ncxl Wednesday night in the
Jefferson Hotel Auditorium.

In these words did Congressman \V.

of an address on the life of Alexander

a pointed comparison between the poli?
tical heresies of the present day. and
a similar arrogant assumption "f pow?

and was followed by Congressman
Brantley, who mad,., lha principal ad?

under tile direction of V\ . <-'. Merger.,
sang patriotic songs. At the conclu?

emerged Into the streit to witness the

Hie fact that on the same spot stood
In 1 SGI the residence of Alexander II

and Is placed on the Clay Street side of

Sketche* l.lfe of Stephens.
Mr. Brantley. In the course of an
address lasting a little less than an
hour, presented ? graphic portrayal of
the life and work of Alexander Hi Ste?
phens?a life which, lie said, was truly
dedicated to the arervloc of country ami
humanity. He Ibid of his early strug?
gles for an education and his subse?
quent triumphs in the face of bodily
Infirmities and the opposition of ene?
mies.
?His career as teacher, law stuil'tnl
and lawyer, struggling against poverty
ami disease," said Mr. Brantley, "mak?
ing up in brain ana will power what
nature had denied 111 111 ill body, i'J tllO
magi'' Htory of success, the story of
the man unafraid, the story of the tri?
umph of mind over matter. D.-.spite
his many and serious handicaps, lie
marched steadily onward and upward,
until he had climbed to the summit of
renown and power as a great and suc?
cessful lawyer."
Touching upon the part played by
Stephens in the struggle 1,et w Jen the
States, the speaker said of the Confed?
eracy's Vice- ['resident:
? lie urged moderation, but men werj
not moderate. He appoaled to reason,
i.ut reason would pot oome. He plead?
ed for the Constitution, hut the Consti?
tution WOS denied. lie pleaded for
lieace. hut Hie voice that answered was
the voice of war."
? onnervnllsm 'I n-Hru Derided.
Mr. Brantley saw a deadly parallel
Ism between the stnta of the national
mind in the day of Stephens and at the !
present time.
"Conservatism in our day," he said,
'has become to many a term of deris?
ion. This is one of the distressing
signs of th? times. Under present-day
false teaching, to he called a conserv?
ative Is to he reproached and tainted
1 with suspicion. It was so In Mr. Ste?
phens'* day. and he, too. met with de?
rision I.ause he :wns a conservative.
But tlma brought ample vindication, not
only to him. hut us well to the virtue
land beneflcence of wise conservatism."
