Excerpt from The Presbyterian Hospital Bulletin, Vol. 79: April, 1933 In 1903 Mr. Ernesta. Hamill, president, says: Last Novem ber the Illinois Training School for Nurses notified the Board of Managers that m accordance with a clause in their contract with us for supplying nurses, it would discontinue this service Novem ber 1, 1903. The termination of this contract made imperative What has been considered best for the hospital's advancement, the establishment of its own Training School. The expense of such a step would have been a serious obstacle but for the generosity of friends who responded V'ery liberally to the call, and necessary for the provision of a suitable home for nurses was secured. Two residences at the northwest corner of Ashland Boulevard and Congress Street, three blocks from the hospital, were bought at a great bargain, thoroughly renovated and are now ready for occupancy. These houses were shown to the new head of the new school upon her arrival in early January, and completely furnished, were occupied April by three instructors and the first class of twenty students.
