Kahler School of Nursing, "The Link" Yearbook, 1930

[Note: This was originally published as 1927, but in actuality it appears to be an annual for the class of 1930, which began their education in 1927?]

"Into the hands of competent strangers were thrust the untrained minds and unskilled hands of nearly five score students -- all imbued with the spirit of eagerness to make themselves more fit to take part in the Great Adventure."
