PAGE 2, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1978, WHITBY FREE PRESS Museum display features school of nursn n*80bdro unsug Cont'd from P. 1 Hospital, the hospital turned over to the historical society a large number of artifacts, including a banjo dlock, a table and some chairs from the original nurses' residences. Also acquired by the historical society were a number of framed gradua- tion portraits from the 1920s and from 1940 until the school of nursing closed. These portraits will be on view in the halls of the Lynde House on' Labor Day weekend. In addition to the portraits and furniture, the historical society was given a large number of original docu- ments from the school of nursing which are stored in the archives in the Centennial Building, and will be on public view for the first time. These include invitations and prograins from the first and last graduation exercses in 1921 and 1972, and many of the intervening years. Some of the graduation programs coincide with important events in the history of the Ontario Hospital, such as the opening of the pavilions by Ontario Premier E.C. Drury in 1922, the opening of the nurses' residences in 1923 and 1963, and a visit from the American Psychiatrie Association in 1931. Other documents of interest include the program from the first annual banquet of the nurses' alumnae association in 1952, a dance program from the nurses' annual bail in 1929, programs from the capping exercises, calendars from the school of nursing, and alumnae newsletters from 1959 to 1963. A graduate of the Ontario Hospital School of Nursing at Whitby assisted in setting up the'display, and it is hoped that the exhibition will be enjoyed by ahl associated with the hospital. In conjunction with the display on the sehool of nursing, the museum wil feature a collection of about 40 photographs from the archives of the Ontario Hospital dating back to the days of its construction in 1913 to 1918, and its use as a military convalescent hospital during the First World War. Many of these -pictures have neyer heen on public display before. Also included in the display are some rare letters describing property transac- tions when the Ontario government purchased the hospital site in 1912 for $130 an acre.
