The St. Luke’s Hospital Training School for Nurses opened in 1888 with six students. The Training School for Nurses registered with State authorities in 1905, and thereafter operated under State supervision. When the National League for Nursing Education began nation-wide accreditation of nursing schools in the late 1930s, the school was also accredited by that organization. The St. Luke’s Hospital and the School of Nursing administration made the decision to close the School of Nursing in 1972, and last class was accepted. This class graduated in 1974. The Alumnae Association remains active today. This collection contains alumnae files, curriculum files, ephemora from student life and alumnae meetings, uniforms, capes, and caps.
