Excerpt from The Presbyterian Hospital Bulletin: June-October, 1927 Mrs. Newell had a broad but conservative vision of what the Woman's Board might accomplish. She foresaw the opportunities for a wider scope of work, and wished the Board to accept such opportunities as responsibilities, but always to make sure proper provision was made before such acceptance. And so it was Mrs. Newell who first assumed a large share in the support of Social Service when it was made evident that such service was a necessary adjunct of hospital activity, and the Woman's Board voted to include it in an expansion of its work. Later it was Mrs. Newell who discovered that the income from a certain bequest of Mrs. Daniel A. Jones should properly be de voted to this work, as that was evidently the intent of the bequest, though not so designated, because the name Social Service did not exist at the time the will was executed. Presenting her conviction to the Board of Managers, an agreement was made by which the Woman's Board receives annually four hundred dollars towards its Social Service expense.
