NEW YORK: PRESS OF WYNKOOP & HALLENBECK, No. 113 FULTON STREET. 1864.THE NEW YORK INFIRMARY FOR INDIGENT WOMEN AND CHILDREN, WAS ORGANIZED IN 1854, UNDER THE "ACT FOR THE INCORPORATION OF BENEVOLENT, CHARITABLE, SCIENTIFIC, AND MISSIONARY SOCIETIES," Passed April 12, 1848. In its certificate of incorporation, its objects are stated to be "the providing and furnishing medicines, and medical and surgical aid to such persons as may need them, and be unable, by reason of their poverty, to procure the same. Also, the training an efficient body of nurses for the community; and also the employment of medical practitioners of either sex- it being the design of this Institution to obtain the services of well-qualified female practitioners of medicine for its patients." In 1863, the Trustees of the Infirmary applied to the Legislature for power to establish a medical college in connection with the Infirmary, and in accordance with their petition the Legislature enacted the following Act:2 AN ACT, To enable the corporation entitled "The New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children," to grant and confer the title of Doctor of Medicine, and amending their corporate name.

The fiftieth anniversary of the Infirmary seems a proper occasion for calling attention to the work which the Institution has done in the years that are now past. We shall leave it to Dr. Emily Blackwell in her address at the semi-centennial celebration to give a detailed account of the Infirmary's history, and shall content ourselves with a few important data, that will show what this small Institution has accomplished, and what it has still to accomplish. In 1853, Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell opened a dispensary for poor women and children in a room near Tompkins Square, with a capital of $50.00. Such was the popular prejudice against women physicians that Dr. Blackwell could not find a respectable boarding place, where she would be permitted to put out a sign; and the strictest economy was practised to make the small amount of money in hand last as long as possible. A year later the dispensary was incorporated and a house rented in fifteenth Street. In 1856 an indoor hospital department was added to the dispensary. The purposes for which the Institution was organized were threefold: 1. To give poor women the opportunity of consulting physicians of their own sex. 2. To give women students of medicine the advantages of hospital instruction. 3. To form a school for instruction in nursing and in the laws of health. During the first year (1853) 200 patients were treated, and not only treated medically, but the "necessity of cleanliness, ventilation, and a judicious diet," urged upon them in the dispensary and in their homes. A small "loan fund" was used to help some who were destitute over periods of illness. There was no annual report printed between 1854 and 1857, when the result of the first year of hospital work is given as "48 patients treated in the houses, 18 being obstetrical cases, and 866 in the dispensary, in addition to 12 families visited at home." The small opportunities that the Infirmary offered were utilized to the full for medical education. Dr. Elizabeth 7 Blackwell, at first alone, later assisted by Dr. M. E. Zackrzewska, and by Dr. Emily Blackwell, trained students in the tenements, in the dispensary and in the wards; not only to observe and treat patients, but to teach the mothers how to take proper care of the children and of themselves. The important of hygiene and preventive medicine always took a prominent place in Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell's mind. In the fifth year of the hospital work (1861), 66 general cases were received in the hospital and 59 obstetric cases, while 123 obstetric cases and 264 general cases were treated in the patients' homes; and 4,182 dispensary patients were seen. Now a bad showing for the first little hospital conducted by women physicians. The total expenses were $3,365.17, not including rent, for the house in Bleecker Street was now owned by the Institution. No salary was paid to anyone, and much of the work that is now done by trained nurses was done by the medical students and the doctors themselves - in the hospital and in the tenements. Dr. Blackwell, at this time, was urging the training of nurses in district nursing, as well as in the wards; but the little hospital could only afford two nurses at a time. Dr. Blackwell, while in England, had become a warm friend of Miss Nightingale, and was profoundly interested in the training of nurses. With the very beginning of the hospital department, an effort was made to establish a training school. In the second year of hospital work (1858), we find noted "That the small number of beds has limited the number of nurses sent out after a three months' course to three; but as the number of beds is increased it is hoped to enlarge the class and organize a regular course of instruction for them." In the next annual report we find that "ten nurses have been sent out from the Infirmary, most of whom have settled in New York, and are well equipped." "Plans for a complete course of instruction in nursing have been drawn up, and will be more fully carried out with the growth of the Institution; but experience in the house has proved the value even of the present limited course." * * * "Not more than one-third of the applicants have been admitted, either from failure to bring the necessary testimonials or un-8 willingness to enter for the three months, the shortest period for which pupil nurses are received." Two years later we find that "the course ordinarily pursued for training nurses has been modified to suit the requirements of the season." The war had begun, wounded soldiers needed care. "Early in May, 1861, a meeting of the managers of the Institution was called to consider how the class might be enlarged to meet the demand that would not exist for nurses." One of the trustees put a little notice of the meeting in the Times, and the Infirmary parlor was crowded to overflowing. It was there that the committee was organized to call the meeting at Cooper Union, where the "Woman's Central Relief Association" (merged later in the Sanitary Commission) was formed. The Registration Committee of the Association, to which everything relating to nurses was referred, included the Executive Committee of the Infirmary, and Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell was the chairman. The New York Hospital and Bellevue opened their wards to give the nurses a month's training, and a course of lectures was delivered to them in the parlors of the Infirmary, eminent physicians co-operating with Dr. Blackwell. The subjects were: "Ventilation; General Management of Wards; Cleanliness; Food; Care of Helpless Patients; Observation of Symptoms to Report to Physician; Surgical Dressings; Bandaging; Personal Habits and Precautions for Nurses; Moral and Religious Influence of Nurses." "The managers are fully convinced," the report continues, "that if even a few hundred dollars a year could be secured for the payment of a permanent course of lectures on such subjects in connection with the Infirmary, the results would be of great practical benefit to the community." The first really organized training-school was afterwards established at Bellevue, and the next at New York Hospital. It was always the desire of the Blackwells to supplement and not to repeat; but when the great movement for establishing Training Schools for Nurses passed into the hands of the larger hospitals, the Infirmary, co-operating with the New York Hospital Training School, gave their nurses instruction in obstetrics. It was not until the size of the Infirmary made a general course possible that it established its own Training School. 9 When a friend said to Dr. Blackwell, "It makes me indignant that thee has not received more credit for what thee accomplished for the training of nurses," Dr. Blackwell turned on her and said, "Does thee suppose I care for the credit so the work is done." This has been the attitude from the very start of both sisters. Among the plans for helping the sick poor in which Dr. Blackwell took the initiative, there is one which few remember now. Madame de Noailles, an English friend, with whom she talked of her plan for establishing a woman's hospital in New York, placed a fund in her hands, the interest to be used for sending convalescent patients to the country. A tiny house was erected on a little piece of land belonging to one of the Blackwell family at Montclair, N. J., and for several years patients were sent out to recuperate in the country. When it became necessary to organize a medical college to maintain the standard of medical education for women in New York, and when Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell felt it her duty to take part in promoting a movement for medical education in London, the income of the fund was so small, that she decided the principal must be returned and the enterprise given up. It was a period of business depression, and both sisters felt it would be undesirable to divert any interest from the more vital educational issue. The fresh air work was therefore reluctantly closed. The New York Infirmary stands before the public to-day at the close of fifty years of work, a poor institution, asking for increased annual support, and a large addition to its endowment. It has done what no other hospital has done, maintained a struggle for the higher education of women, by keeping up at all costs, the standard of woman's medical education in the face of prejudices that the present generation can hardly understand. It has done what no other hospital here has done until the John Hopkins was established in Baltimore, started and maintained a medical school to bear witness to the principle that medical education must be based on clinical instruction in hospital wards. It was forced to support all the clinical opportunities for the instruction of its students, because women were excluded from the opportunities freely given to men in the public and private charities of the city. It has done this in addition to taking the initiative in establishing 10 lishing training schools for nurses, and has been ahead of its time in seeking to start fresh air work, district nursing, and sanitary work in the tenements. The time has come, however, when this Infirmary must have more money or curtail its work. It has but $50,000 towards an endowment of $400,000, and it needs an increased list of annual subscribers. It owns a beautiful piece of property on Stuyvesant Square, between a densely populated district, and a neighborhood which is changing rapidly from a private residence district to one of small apartments and business. No hospital in the neighborhood, or in the city, takes it place; for in no other regular school are patients exempt from the publicity consequent o n the presence of classes of men students in the wards. It continues to be most necessary for the training of women physicians; it is a centre for social betterment, and a charity where a vast amount of personal work is being done. It deserves to be generously supported for what it is doing, and it has a claim on the gratitude, not only of this community, but of the whole country for what it has done.

The need has long been felt for a private psychopathic hospital which would provide special conditions for the observation and treatment of persons suffering from acute or transient nervous conditions, or the insidious initial stages of mental derangement. During the last few years this matter has been the subject of much public discussion, and such a hospital department has been earnestly advocated by the New York State Board of Charities. A psychopathic ward has been established, the maintenance of which must depend on gifts for this purpose. The rates for private patients under the charge of their own physician are from $40.00 to $50.00 per week. Applications for the reception of patients should be made to Dr. Boris Sidis, at the Hospital, 321 East 15th Street. Telephone 2922-18. Medical Board of Psyc. Dept. and Laboratory - DR.

Total new patients...............................................................................................1,246 " " families...................................................................................................512 " visits made................................................................................................11,879 Patients treated at their homes in the tenement houses include those unable to pay for a private physician, or who are unable to come to the dispensary for treatment. All applicants are visited, and if found not requiring treatment are referred at once to the dispensary, and are classed as "unnecessary" in this report. Patients transferred to other hospitals have such diseases as are not received into the Infirmary. All applicants who have been during their illness attended by a private physician are given this blank to be filled out and signed by the attending physician :- Dear Doctor: M..................................................................................................................................................... of.........................................................................................has applied here for a physician to attend the family................................................................................ As it is not our custom to visit a family having already a physician in attendance, may I trouble you to answer the following questions: Have you discontinued treatment?................................................... Is the family unable to pay?................................................................. Signed........................................................................................................... Address........................................................................................................ Yours very truly, Clerk. There were 71 such applicants, of whom 40 returned satisfactory answers. Patients desiring to be sent to a hospital, are transferred to the Infirmary, if suitable, or if the disease is not contagious. Owing to the frequent lack of beds in the Infirmary, 21 patients have been sent to other hospitals. Patients having contagious diseases are sent to the hospitals receiving such patients, and 13 were transferred for this reason. It is with great regret that patients suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis are transferred to the two hospitals receiving this class of patients. There is no hospital on the East side below the Harlem river, except that on Blackwell's Island, which will receive this class of diseases. The necessity for a tuberculosis hospital near by is especially marked in the incurable cases. The distances to the present hospitals from their houses is so great that the sick cannot, except at long intervals, be visited by their relatives. It frequently happens that the patients stay only a short time in the hospitals, and then, overcome by homesickness, return to their tenements rooms. A ward in the Infirmary for these unfortunate people would not only be a charity, but would remove so many sources of contagion from the crowded tenements. Statistics are taken of each new family, and the conditions of families treated before are compared with those of former years - many families are constantly attended until their circumstances permit them to obtain the services of a private physician. In November, Miss Elizabeth Van Renssalaer, a graduate nurse of the Presbyterian Hospital, offered her services to the out-practice, and demonstrated both the necessity of such services to the patients and the advantages to the Infirmary Training School of giving each nurse a term of service in the tenement houses. The Training School Committee, through the generosity of one of the Trustees, has made it possible to give to each pupil nurse a term of service in the tenement houses. Her duties are entirely those of a nurse - not in any sense those of either a missionary or friendly visitor. She may be called upon to remain all the time with one patient, or, as in a hospital ward, attend several patients during the day, according to the necessity of the patients, STATISTICS OF PATIENTS ATTENDED IN TENEMENT HOUSES.

The Training School for Nurses of New York Infirmary for Women and Children is established to give two and a half years' training to women desirous of learning the art of caring for the sick. Those wishing to obtain the course of instruction must apply personally or by letter to the Superintendent, who will furnish printed instructions respecting the personal information to be given by applicants. Letters of application should be accompanied by a statement from a clergyman testifying to good moral character, and from a physician certifying to sound health and unimpaired faculties. Applicants must be between twenty-two and thirty-five years of age, of at least average height and physique, and must give satisfactory evidence of fitness in disposition and temperament for the work of nursing. If approved, applicants are received into the School for a period of one month on probation. The regular school session begins the first week in October and continues until the first week in June. Pupils are received preferably in the spring and autumn and at other times if a vacancy occurs. During the months of trial, and previous to being accepted as a pupil, the applicant must be prepared for an examination in reading, penmanship, simple arithmetic, and English dictation. The examination is to test the applicant's ability to read aloud well, to write legibly and accurately, to understand mathematics as far as fractions and per cent. and to take notes of lectures. This amount of education is indispensable for a member of the School, but women of superior education and refinement will be preferred. The Superintendent decides as to the fitness of probationers for the work and the propriety of retaining or dismissing them. She may also with the approval of the Board of managers, terminate the connection of a pupil with the School in case of misconduct, inefficiency or neglect of duty. Those who prove satisfactory are accepted as pupils after signing the following agrement: "I, the undersigned, agree to remain two and a half years from date a pupil of the above named School, and promise during that time, to faithfully obey the Rules of the School and Hospital, and to be subordinate to the Authorities governing the same." Except under special circumstances, failure to pass the examination at the end of the first year is considered a sufficient cause for the termination of a pupil's connection with the School. With the exception of three months of the time, which is spent by each pupil at the J. Hood Wright Memorial Hospital in the nursing of male patients, the pupils reside in the Home 57 and serve as assistants in the various departments of the Infirmary. They are also expected to perform any duty assigned to them by the Superintendent of Nurses. After the month of probation pupils are required, when on duty, to wear the dress prescribed by the Infirmary, which is blue and white striped gingham, with white apron and cap and linen collar and cuffs. Probationers are not allowed to wear this dress. Day nurses are on duty from 7.30 A. M. to 7.30 P. M., with one hour for dinner and two hours for rest and recreation. They are also given an afternoon each week and part of every Sunday. Each pupil is required to devote at least one hoour daily to lecture, class or study. A vacation of three weeks is allowed each year. As the School is unsectarian there are no religious services connected with it except morning prayers, but all pupils are expected to attend the places of worship they prefer once on Sunday. In sickness all pupils are cared for gratuitously, but the time so lost must be made up. The course of training includes practical instruction in the nurse of medical, surgical, and gynaecological patients, obstetrics, the nursing of children, and practical work in the operating-room and dispensary. A regular course of lectures, recitations and demonstrations is arranged, with examinations at stated periods. When the full term of two and a half years is ended, the nurses thus trained will be at liberty to choose their own field of labor, whether in hospital, in private families or in district nursing among the poor; on leaving the School, they will, on passing satisfactorily the necessary examinations, receive diplomas. In addition to board, lodging and a reasonable amount of laundry work, each pupil receives an allowance of $7.00 per month to defray the expenses of uniforms, text-books, etc., incidental to her training. If a nurse leaves the School before the end of the term without satisfactory reasons, the money paid to her by the School must be refunded.58 REPORT OF THE TRAINING SCHOOL. 1902-1903. The nursing staff of the Hospital, Sept. 30, 1903, consisted of:--Three graduate head nurses, twenty pupil nurses, three pupils from outside schools, two nurses in Psychopathic Ward and one probationer. During the year thirty-five applications for admission to the School have been received, twelve applicants have been admitted to probation, seven have been accepted as pupil nurses. Two nurses were permitted to withdraw from the School, and a nurse of the Senior Class, Miss Mabel F. Main, died August 4th. Fourteen nurses, either graduates or pupils from other schools, have been admitted for three months special nurses in Obstetrics, and of these, nine have completed their time, and received their certificates. Three training schools are now sending their pupils regularly to the Infirmary for obstetrical training, and any occasional vacancies are filled by graduates who apply from time to time. A change has been made this year, whereby the nurses have been withdrawn from the J. Hood Wright Memorial Hospital, where they have had their training in the care of men patients for seven years, and for the the future they will be sent for such experience to the Nassau Hospital, Mineola, L. I. A second change, adding greatly to the value of the general training, has been the assigning a nurse from the School to assist in the work of the Out-Practice. In addition to the usual classes held by the Superintendent of the Training School, and the demonstration in practical nursing given by the Head Nurses, the Senior Class has had ten lessons in Massage from Miss Mary Kennish, and eight lessons in Invalid Cooking from Miss Helen Louise Johnson, when called upon for professional services. The following are the members of the Graduating Class of 1903: MISS REBECCA H. GERMAN, MRS. BESSIE L. HARRIS, MISS MAUD B. HUBLEY, MISS ADA M. DIXON. COURSE OF LECTURES, 1902-1903. Senior Class.

The PLAN OF INSTRUCTION which this School desires to carry out is to secure a gradation of studies through the three years of a student's course. For this purpose, students must attend three Winter Sessions, During the first, they will be principally occupied with the elementary branches of Anatomy, Physiology, Materia Medica, and Chemistry, with practical work in the Anatomical Rooms, and Pharmacy. In their second year they will continue these four branches, and receive full instruction in Medicine, Surgery and Obstetrics. In the third year the instruction in these three departments will be continued, and the students will engage in practical medical work under the direction of their teachers, and be required to furnish clinical reports of cases so attended. Hygiene will be taught through the three years. All students will be required to attend weekly recitations in the studies proper to their year--these recitations forming an essential part of the course. Yearly examinations will be held at the end of each Winter Session, when every student will be examined in the studies pursued during the year. Besides these a general examination will be passed by all students presenting themselves as candidates for graduation. This progressive mode of study, affording more time and facility for practical Anatomy and Pharmacy, and Clinical work, offers very great4 WOMAN'S MEDICAL COLLEGE OF THE advantages as compared to the ordinary plan of spending the first year of the student's education in private reading. No extra charge will be made for the third year; and the Faculty warmly recommend all new students intending to attend the School, to adopt this method. Students who have already pursued their studies elsewhere, will be allowed to complete their course in two Winter and Summer Sessions in this School. The Summer Sessions, being devoted to practical work, will be considered equivalent to the third Winter Session, provided the student can bring satisfactory certificates of a year's study. The liberal sentiment of New York has opened to women the great City Hospitals and Dispensaries, with their admirable Clinical Lectures. Among these may be mentioned Bellevue Hospital, which receives annually from ten to twelve thousand patients, over five hundred being obstretrical cases; the Charity Hospital, which contains usually about one thousand patients, a large proportion being affected with chronic diseases; the fever and Small-Pox Hospitals; the Hospital for Epileptics and Paralytics; The Nursery Hospital; the Insane Asylum; the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, and the Demilt and other city Dispensaries. THE NEW YORK INFIRMARY, also, with its long-established practice, will place annually between six and seven thousand patients under the constant observation and care of its students, thus affording unequaled opportunities for Practical Medical Study. The folowing list of Cliniques, open to the class during the past year, will show what abundant opportunities students may find here: List of Cliniques. COLLEGE CLINIQUES.

The plan of instruction adopted in this Institution is progressive in character, requiring attendance at College during three sessions. Students in their first year will be occupied chiefly with the fundamental branches; working in the Anatomical Rooms, the Laboratory, and the Pharmacy; they will receive an outline of the other branches. In their second year they will continue the same branches, in their higher departments, and receive full instruction in Medicine, Surgery, and Obstetrics. In their third year the instruction in these three subjects will continue, and they will enter into Practical Medical Work, under the supervision of their Professors, and will review the fundamental branches. Hygiene will be continued through the three years, and will be taught practically as well as theoretically. Examinations will be held at the close of each term, on the subjects therein taught; and a general examination will take place at the end of the third year. It will be the aim of the College to make its students accurate observers, careful Practitioners, and thorough Hygienists. The liberal sentiment of New York has opened to women the great City Hospitals and Dispensaries, with their admirable Clinical Lectures. Among these may be mentioned Bellevue Hospital, which receives annually from ten to twelve thousand patients, over five hundred being obstetrical cases; the Charity Hospital, which contains usually about one thousand patients, the large proportion being affected with chronic diseases; the Fever and Small-Pox Hospitals; the Hospital for Epileptics and Paralytics; the Nursery Hospital; the Insane Asylym; the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary; and the Demilt and other city Dispensaries. THE NEW YORK INFIRMARY, also, with its long-established practice, will place annually between six and seven thousand patients under the constant observation and care of its students, thus affording unequaled opportunities for Practical Medical Study.

The College Year consists of a winter session of twenty-four weeks, beginning on the 1st Monday in October, and a summer session, beginning a week after the end of the winter session, and terminating in the first or second week in June. THE PLAN OF INSTRUCTION which this School desires to carry out is arranged to secure a gradation of studies through the three years of the student's course. For the purpose, students must attend three Winter Sessions. During the first, they will be principally occupied with the elementary branches of Anatomy, Physiology, Materia Medica, and Chemistry, with practical work in the Anatomical Rooms, and Pharmacy. In their second year they will continue these four branches, and receive full instruction in Medicine, Surgery and Obstetrics. In the third year the instruction in these three departments will be continued, and the students will engage in practical medical work under the direction of their teachers, and be required to furnish clinical reports of cases so attended. Hygiene will be taught through the three years. All students will be required to attend weekly recitations in the studies proper to their year - these recitations forming an essential part of the course. Yearly examinations will be held at the end of each Winter Session, when every student will be examined in the studies pursued during the year.4 WOMAN'S MEDICAL COLLEGE OF THE Besides these a general examination will be passed by all students presenting themselves as candidates for graduation. This final examination will be passed in Anatomy, Materia Medica, Physiology and Chemistry, at the end of the second year, and at the end of the third year, in Hygiene, Practice, Surgery and Obstetrics. This progressive mode of study does not increase the length, nor the expense of the student's course, as no extra charge is made for the third year. It offers very great advantages as compared to the ordinary plan of reading for a year under private instruction, and attending College during two sessions only. It gives more facilities for practice Anatomy, Pharmacy, and Clinical study, prevents the Winter Session from being overcrowded with work, and by dividing the Examinations, enables the student to prepare for them more easily and thoroughly. In view of its much more satisfactory results, it has been adopted as the course of the school, and is warmly recommended by the Faculty to all those beginning their education. Students who are unable or unwilling to attend three sessions, can complete their College Course in two years, by attending two Winter and two Summer Sessions. The Summer Sessions being devoted principally to practical work, will be taken as equivalent to the third Winter Session, where the student can bring satisfactory certificates of a year's previous study. CLINICAL INSTRUCTION is made a prominent part of the Course. The College adjoining and being connected with the N. Y. Infirmary, enables the practice of the latter, amounting to between 6 and 7000 patients annually, to be used under proper regulations, for the benefit of the class. Daily cliniques are held at the College through the year. Opportunity is given to all senior students to reside for a certain time in the Infirmary, to take part in practical medical work. The liberal sentiment of New York has opened to women the great City Hospitals and Dispensaries, with their admirable clinical lectures. Among these may be mentioned Bellevue Hospital, which receives annually from 10 to 12,000 patients, and where, during the winter, two clinical lectures are given daily. The Eye and Ear Infirmary, the Nursery and Child's Hospital, the Demilt and other Dispensaries. Students who desire to pursue special NEW YORK INFIRMARY. 5 branches may find excellent opportunities for so doing, if they will give the requisite time and pains. The summer Session of 1870, opened April 11th, continuing nine weeks. The instruction consisted of a daily lecture, clinique and recitation. SUBJECT OF LECTURES. LECTURES.
