practice and the extension of medical facilities throughout the state is aim of our great new Health Center


When a physidan has obtained admiamon of a pa-
tient to the hital he hs kept informed of the pa.
tenL f diagnosis and treatment by period reports.
Upon ducharge, the patient c referred back to hb
phyaic an, and a complete final report o made to the
patient's doctor.
Many patients will enjoy another of the hospital'
unusual facilhtle, the teaching apartment, of which
there rea ix. Thee are planned to resemble a smalU
home. Here a new mother may be taught how to
bathe her baby in the kitchen nk or lavatory; a rea-
tive may lern how to assist a patient to bed othe
bathtub just as he will have to do when the patient
gete back home. Patient requinng special foods can
learn how they ar prepared in a typical home kitch-
en, and so on, with home conditions duplicated a
early as pomsble
A special flacty of the building is one of the largest
physical therapy sections in the South, where speca
treatments are available A chapel for rehpouo serv-
kle, private dining-room facihtie, baber and beauty,
operator and other conveniencs are offered. The
whole intitution reflects the careful playing, down
to the details of personal conveyance as wel s good
medical treatment, that went into the teaching hoepi
tl in its years on the drawing boards before con'
Ithuction.

>ICK CLARK SPEAKING


Stand iup


Dick Clark tells a girl who wants to be a cheerleader


and cheer


to go right ahead, be an extrovert!


)EAR DICK: This may sound like a
inny ambition to you. I want to be a
eerteader.
What's holding me back, I think, is
hat Ihave this appearance of being shy.
Guess I do not give the impression of
having much of a personality.
We just had the election for cheer-
acders at our school. I signed up as one
!f the candidates, but I didn't get
ekcted. Maybe 'll try for it again.
The worst part about all of this is
hat I am feeling very ashamed because,
rou se, I voted for myself.
CISSIE ., Indianapolis

I What's so funny about your ambi-
ion? Being a cheerleader is some.
thing to shout about!
It's refreshing to be a jumping-up.
mnd-down, hollering supporter of
something you really like, whether
it's a school team or an idea. It's
intoxicating to be an extrovert, to pin
i letter on your shirt, wave a pennant
for something besides yourself. It's
run to run up a flag!
By all means go after your dream,
but reserve a corner for disappoint-
nent, in case it comes. And enter into
i variety of school activities. Cheer.
leaders may be trim, but there's no


substitute for being well-rounded.
As for voting for yourself, know
what? I approve! In a contest like
this, where enthusiasm counts (see
pictures, right), why shouldn't you
be your own best booster? Know who
else voted for himself? Mr. Eisenhower.
A fallen idol
DEAR DICK: I have always been a fan of
one of the young, very popular singers,
and I respected him because e he seemed
like such a typical American boy.
Lately rve been reading a lot of things
that make me wonder if I sas all wrong
about him. I just can't admire him any
more. You probably know the truth
about such people. Are the rumors usu.
ally true? DISILLUSIONED

I have found the young singers I
have met to be normal, average young
men and women who have had unus-
ual luck as well as exceptional talent.
I do not, of course, know which singer
you have in mind, but from what I
know of the boys who are tops, none
of them has said or done things of
which he should be ashamed.

knows of any clandestine photos, formal or otherwise, we would

be happy to add them to our collection.

HIS morning one of the most significant
events in the history of Florida educa-
tion and public welfare occurred with the
dedication of the Medical Sciences Build-
ing, first unit of the J. Hillis Miller Health
Center.
This Center, named for the University's
late president, Dr. J. Hillis Miller, will bring
to Florida and its citizens medical and
health care never before available. The
doctors trained in the College of Medicine
will practice in Florida's towns and vil-
lages. The nurses from the College of
Nursing will work hand in hand with them
during their college careers in order that
they might work better as a team in later
years.

doctors and for the first time, valuable
training in hospital pharmacy techniques

diseases and health problems suffered by
Floridians will be conducted in this Center
and the Cancer Research Laboratory will
continue its search for the cause of one of
man's most dreaded diseases. Professional
training for those in the health related
sciences such as X-ray technicians, physi-
cal and occupational therapists, medical
technologists, and clinical psychologists
will be available.
The Teaching Hospital, to be complet-
ed by the Fall of 1958, will offer facilities

Mrs. J. Hillis Miller Cuts Ribbon
In Brief Opening Ceremonies
A brief ceremony yesterday morning marked the of-
ficial opening of the new Teaching Hospital and Clinics.
With President J. Wayne Reitz presiding, the pro-
gram opened with the Invocation, delivered by the Rev-
erand Thomas R. Gross, St. Patrick's Catholic Church.
President Reitz then outlined the purpose of the cere-
mony, which, he said was "not .. .to dedicate the hos-
lital," but "to admit the first patient."
president Reitz then assisted


Mrs. Miller, wife of the late J.
gllis Miller, in cutting the ribbon,
Alghifying the opening of the his-

pi4tal.
Dr. George T. Harrell, Chief of
Staff, received the first patient
from Dr. Thomas Brill, Gaines-
ille pediatrician. The patient is
ancy Smith, five-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Smith,
Williston. Nancy, according to
President Reitz, signifies "the
culmination of the dream of the
Late J. Hillis Miller," for whom
ihe Health Center is named.
Present at the ceremony were a
nmuber of guests, among them
Dr. Jare Amis, president of the
Florida Medical Association, Miss
B'rances E. Jollow, president of
the Florida League for Nursing,
Wiid the Honorable W. A. Shands,
State Senator.
:.The shadow of three men will
always be imprinted upon the
nasive and imposing structure.
-The first is Dr. J. Hillis Miller,
,or whom the J. Hillis Miller
health Center Teaching Hospital
and Clinics at the University of
Florida is named.
; The health center was develop-
pd .~y the late Dr. Miller while
"was president of the University
of Florida. His vision instigated

Dr. Russell Poor, provost of the
Health Center. and Dr. George
1, dean of the College of
ecine, are the two who colla-
id with architects to plan
tiWels of the buildings over a
irtod of years.
-ci those seeing the new build-
ags in the southeast portion of
the campus just north of the Ar-
Road for the first time, it
ill be an impressive sight. The
ea of planning to realize the
i.< million hospital and the $3.5
MttBion Medical Sciences Class-


room building nearby are evident.
The growing pains the buildings
experienced from foundation to top
floor won't show, but they are
familiar to those who have fol-
lowed the building progress from
day to day.
Initial funds for medical school
construction were appropriated by
the 1953 State Legislature. First
funds for the Medical Sciences
building were released by the Cab-
inet Budget Commission in April,
1954.
Both the Teaching Hospital and
the Medical Sciences Building
have MAT type foundat ions.
These are concrete and reinforc-
ed steel design and are described
as floating on the ground. This
eliminates the expense of driving
costly pilings to support the build-
ings, and is considered just as
structurally sound

ham, completed the foundation

ing with Ruscon Construct io n,

With the foundation completed l
by fall there were 17 bidders for t
the superstructure and Ajax Con-
struction Co., Washington, D.C.,
was low bidder at $3,378,000.
The Ajax firm asked an exten-
sion on time -whe the Seytemltb*
S bet's ni lg I daite had
passed. Early in December 1954, t
the State Board of Control held
hearings on the construction delay
and the contract with Ajax was
cancelled by mutual agreement. |I
The cancellation, the Board of
Control said, was strictly a tech-
nical dispute between the firm
and the architect.
The Medical Sciences Building
was completed on time as Ar-t


nold Construction, West Palm
Beach, took over the contract
on a rebid in February, 1955.
Fall dedication of the building
took place in October, 1956. A por-
trait of Dr. Miller was unveiled
and Dr. Ralph Miller, the chair-
man of the Board of Control, call-
ed the building the finest of its
kind' for "relief of human suf-
fering and extending the frontier
of medical knowledge."

ated $8.6 million for the 400 bed

A New Attack


On Cloture Rule

By Congressional Quarterly
WASHINGTON The results of
Congressional Quarterly poll released tc
day indicate that the Nov. 4 election wi
help those fighting to revise the Senate'
filibuster rule.
The would-be rule changers o p p o s
Senate Rule 22 which says
that two-thirds of the en-
tire Senate membership
(not just those present
and voting) must vote to
shut off debate. They con-
tend this rule amounts to
veto power because the
one-third minority can
talk to death bills it does
not like.
The rule-changing pro-
ponents claim the Civil IDOUGLAS
Rights Act of 1957 is proof that Rule 2
hangs like a guillotine over the heads c
the Senate majority. They contend th
civil rights bill would have been muc
stronger if its backers had not feare
that strong provisions would doom th
whole bill to a filibuster.
Two attempts have been made to rf
vise Rule 22 since it was adopted in 194(
A 1953 effort failed on a 70-21 (d 29-15
R 41-5) vote and the 1957 one on a 55-3
(D 27-21; R 28-17) vote.

A LIBERAL coalition led by Sen. Pat
H. Douglas (D. Ill.) will try again whe
the 86th Congress opens Jan. 7, 195!
Attempts have been made on opening
day on the theory that the Senatei
without rules at the start of each ne
Congress.
Congressional Quarterly asked poter
tial new Senators whether they though
Rule 22 should be revised On the basi
of their replies, plus an analysis of ele
tion races, it appears the rule-changin
forces have a better chance of success
in 1959 than ever before.
It looks as, though the rule changer
could count on about 43 votes and th4
opponents 46 votes, with the decisive v|
maining votes in doubt. Counting Alas
ka's senators, proponents will need 4
or 50 votes to keep their motion fror
being tgbled.
*
HERE IS where votes for changing|
Rule 22 are likely to come from:
-26 form Senators who voted foi
the rule change in 1957 and are not uip
for reelection this year.


-11 from pro-rule-changing Senatort
who either are favored to win reelection
or whose opponents told CQ they too
favored the rule change.
-6 from races in California, New
Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Very
mont, and Wisconsin.
Here is where the votes against
changing Rule 22 are likely to come
from:
-36 from Senators who voted again
the rule change in 1957 and are not
up for reelection this year.
-10 from Senators favored to win re-
election or whose opponents also oppose
the rule change.
*
PROPONENTS of the rule change ap-
pear to have the edge in the doubtful
Senate races.

By HOLCOMB KERNS


A NEW era in health service to the people of Flor-
Sida dawned this week end at Gainesville with the
opening of the Teaching Hospital and Clinics, a unit
in the J. Hillis Miller Health Center of the University
of Florida, now in operation after a six-year period of
planning and construction.
The money value of the combined Teaching Hospi-
tal and Clinics and the adjoining Medical Sciences
Building is in the neighborhood of $15,000,000. Its
actual value to Florida, which will receive health ser-
vices never available in the state before, cannot be
calculated. The College of Medicine, in the Sciences
building, is in its third year of operation.
The Teaching Hospital is an extension of the Cen-
ter's overall facilities for teaching, research, practice-
and delivery of medical knowledge throughout the
state. It is a 400-bed plant whose facilities, backed up
by the Center's staff, are available to any Florida
patient upon the recommendation of his own physi-
cian. Patients are admitted only on this basis, or on
referral by county health officers.
The hospital is expected to be self-sustaining. Pa-
tients will pay for the medical care they receive if
they are able to do so. Indigent patients must be pro-
vided for by funds from their own localities.
The hospital has facilities which make it the only
one of its kind. It was planned in detail, over a period
I All Florida Magazine io-19-s


of years, by its provost, Dr. Russell S. Poor, and its
dean, Dr. George Harrell, in collaboration with the
architects, upon the basis of their own experience and
consultation with other authorities. It has attracted
the attention of medical men from all over the world.
It was designed for Florida conditions. The decora-
tive colors are bright and cheerful, the surroundings
are a typical Florida setting. Patient rooms are painted
in pleasing yellows, greens and other soft, cool colors;
the windows are wide and tall.
The building is air-conditioned, with individual
room temperature controls; the beds themselves are
pleasantly colored. Pillow speakers are provided for
each patient bedso that the patient can be enter-
tained with radio-transmitted or recorded musical
selections. The patient may talk directly with his
floor nurse through a speaker-microphone in the ceil-
ing over the bed. The rooms have telephones.
For patients not requiring constant care, the hospi-
tal has-for the first time anywhere-an ambulantt
wing" where the rooms are more like those of a hotel.
Here the beds are made up from Bahama-type con-
vertible couches. This unique wing was planned to
provide ambulant patients with hospital facilities
without having to pay the higher bed-patient rates.
The ambulant wing is adjacent to the clinics so
that patients may easily receive the required care,


and the rooms have two beds, permitting the patient
to have a member of the family in to keep him com-
pany. Recreational facilities are available for this
class of patient.
Thoughtful provision has been made for patient
comfort and the ultimate in medical care while pre-
serving the original thought behind the hospital; that
it was built for teaching purposes. It is here that
medical students, interns, residents, nurses, therapists
and all of the other members of the health team will
work together, learning while working under the
supervision of instructors recruited from the highest
ranks of the nation's medical profession. About 25 per
cent of the floor space in the nine-story building is
devoted to the teaching function-study rooms, labo-
ratories and classrooms.
The hospital contains 28 operating rooms, 26
ainbulant rooms. It was so designed that two addi-
tional floors may be added. Except for the two top
floors, devoted to pediatrics and psychiatry, each floor
is directly connected to the Medical Sciences Build-
ing, permitting a convenient interchange of traffic and
facilities.
The instructional staff of the College of Medicine
serves as the clinical staff of the hospital, with the
head professors in their specialized fields serving as
chiefs of the clinical services.

Med College Brings New Era -


Dedication tomorrow of the Medical
Sciences Building marks a new era for
education in Florida and, we feel, a new
era in the field of medicine.
The building, first unit of the J. Hillis
Miller Health Center, embraces a new
concept in the teaching of medicine. From
the physical plant to new methods of
teaching, the University of Florida College
of Medicine deviates from traditional lines.
These new concepts already are drawing
attention throughout the world.
Establishing a new college of medicine
is a long, tiresome affair. It takes time and
effort for a school to acquire prestige in
the conservative medical profession. But
after oniy one month of operation doctors
and educators at other colleges have real-
ized the University of Florid:a school soon
will have to be placed with the best. With
what must be the tops in physical opera-
tions and high standards of student selec-
tion, the medical college here probably
will skip that time of embryonic develop-
ment.
Much of the credit for the state's real-
iing her dream of an outstanding college
of medicine must go to Dean George T.
Harrell Jr. who has watched and mother-
ed every brick that went in the build-
ing.
Dr. Harrell outlining the college's con-


cepts in a recent issue of the Journal of
the American Medial Association, said:
"The University of Florida is explor-
ing the role of the University in medi-
Scine. We have deliberately chosen thij
approach rather than a more traditional
one of the role of the medical school in
a university. We are attacking the prob-
lem from two points of view: (1) the
education of a physician fn the univer-
sity setting and (2) the care of patients
in the local community."
Carrying through this philosophy, the
college, when completed, will be of serv-
ice, not only in educating future doctors,
but to each tax-paying citizen of the state
wishing medical treatment.
Its ultra-modern hospital facilities to be
opened in the fall of 1958 will provide best
possible care, all the while training doctors,
nurses and pioneering advancements in re-
search.
*
Students and faculty should take ad-
vantage of the dedication ceremonies this
afternoon and tomorrow to tour the build-
ing: We believe that any one who sees
the college and observes its atmosphere
will come away a proponent of this new
idea in state institution education.
We can see only gq(od things in the
Health Center's future-and by corollary,
a brighter future for'the state.

GREER GARSON: Femininity


By LYDIA LANE


HOLLYWOOD-Thoutgh
Greer Garson lives in Bel-Air,
there is an air of an English
country house about her home
with the expansive rooms and
the large open fireplaces.
Greer greeted me in gay-
colored velvet hostess paj& as.
"I live in jeans or slacks when
I'm at the ranch," she confided,
as she seated herself behind a
beautifully-set tea tray. "But
because I'm wearing trousers,
it does not mean that I want to
be without femininity."-
She mentioned the beatniks
and how there was nothing new
about their unconventional
dress. "It goes back to ltth
century Bohemianism. It is
possible to be intellectual and
talented and well dressed,"
Greer said.
"It is surprising to me how
some of these young actresses
come to rehearsals so careless-
ly dressed. Being neat doesn't
depend on money. I actually
was better dressed as a strug-
gling young actress than I am
now because then I couldn't
afford to make a mistake. You
don't have to buy a lot of
clothes to be fashionable. But
you must learn about fit-the
importance of having the waist-
line in the right place-to have
a fabric that will hold its shape
so that it will come back from
the cleaners looking like new.
"Never indulge in anything
but a basic style so your clothes
won't go out of fashion. There
is so much conformity today,
I rather like stressing my in-
dividuality as much as possi-
ble," she added.
"You were talking about
femininity," I reminded her.
"I have great admiration for
the abilities of American wom-
en," she replied. Runfiinga a
home is only one of the many
things they do well. But they
must never lose the realiza-
tion that the atmosphere in
the home depends on them.
'They used to say the way
to a man's heart was through
his stomach, but psychological
surveys today report that the
first requisite is a harmonious
environment. Even if you work
and.arrive home shortly be-


fore he does, be feminine, have
a soft voice, an agreeable at-
titude and a fresh complexion.
He may not comment on it
but he will respond to it and
come home with a sense of
pleasure."
"I've known you a long time
and you get prettier with the
Yearss" I told her..
She smiled. "My husband
tells me that. But I'm happy


GREER GARSON


and I have more understand-
ing of myself. When I'm dis-
turbed or unhappy, I seek to
discover what mistake I've
made. Suffering can be caused
by petty little things in your,
nature that you are trying to
conceal from yourself, just as
much as by a big blow from
fate.
"Vitality and youthfulness
depend on appreciating and
caring for your body, not a-
busing it. There is so much
information about what to eat


today that is good for you.
Anyone who is interested can
learn about nutrition.
"Solitude," Greer continued,
"is essential for every thinking
person-you must be alone for
some part of every day to
keep a balanced disposition.
I have read Anne Morrow
Lindbergh's 'Gift from the
Sea, innumerable times. Her
book is an example of quiet-
ness. It is so easy to worry and
let small concerns fritter away
the meaning of existence."


HOW TO STAY YOUNG: Indications of age in a woman
are crowsfeet around the eyes andi mouth, the neck area and the
hands-and lack of muscular flexibility. Although one cannot
eliminate these by a miracle, one can take 10 years off by cor-
rect exercising, skillfd make-up and the use of corrective
cosmetics. Leaflet M-40, "low to Stay Young," gives simple
and effective exercises for you to keep Wroblopsn loyouth. For

Health and Medical Education in


a University Setting


Opens Door to Variety of Cooperative Efforts


T HE RECOMMENDATION in 1947
by the Florida Citizens Com-
mittee on Education that the
long discussed medical center for Florida
should be located in Gainesville was a
surprise to many. It was a break with
tradition to propose that a medical school
be located on the main campus of a
university rather than adjacent to a large
hospital in a metropolitan area.
Not that strong university affili-
ation and a campus location for medical
schools had not been advocated in the
past. As early as 1910 Abraham Flexner
in a now famous report had recom-
mended that a medical school "is pro-
perly a university department." In the
years following most medical schools
obtained a university affiliation, and new
ones were opened as a part of large
universities. But very few went all the
way to becoming a physical part of their
university's campus.
For many, schooled in the philo-
sophy that existing clinical facilities and
a large quantity of patients are the ma-
jor consideration in location of a medi-
cal school, the reasoning of the Florida
Citizens Committee on Education, and
a similar recommendation in 1949 by a
Survey and Advisory Committee were
probably somewhat high-sounding and
idealistic. The recommendations of these
groups were based on the concept later
so aptly expressed by the late Dr. J.
Hillis Miller that a medical school should


VOL. III, NO. 3 MAY, 1961


be "a part of, and not apart from, a
university."
Both groups were reflecting a grow-
ing recognition that medicine is becoming
more and more involved in research in
the physical and social sciences. In ad-
dition, they felt that if medicine is to
be concerned with education at the
graduate level and the research that must
be coupled with it, rather than with mere
training in medical skills, a university
atmosphere was necessary.
Only in such an atmosphere would
arise the opportunity for cross-fertiliza-


tion of medicine and the other university
disciplines. Intimate association with the
natural sciences, the behavioral sciences,
social sciences and even the humanities,
they said, is essential to medicine be-
cause they each bear on the well-being
of the patient.
As the concept of the proposed
medical school grew, it became clear that
it would have a direct impact upon far
more than those who are primarily in-
terested in the practice of medicine. A
general trend in medicine that emphasis
is changing from the concept of disease


Both the University and Health Center benefit by cooperative programs.

a. 4 ic for!- 'oftiki studying,


As the University of Florida Col-
lege of Medicine opened its doors
Wr the first time this year, 47
dents stepped in to compose the
class of 1960. The College of Nurs-
ing also announced a first class of
44.
Chosen from approximately 450
applicants, the members of the
first medical class were picked on
the basis of high scholarship, char-
acter, and academic background.
Listing 44 men and three women,
the new class is made up of 44
Florida residents, hailing from all
parts of the state. Twenty-five
students are graduates of the Uni-
versity of Florida, while the others
did their uncV:rgraduate' work at
colleges and universities all over
the nation.
Rigid Screening
The rigid screening process for
the students was set up by the
Medical College Staff on the idea
that a good medical college re-
sults not only from a modern and
up-to-date physical plant, and a
qualified staff, but also from the
quality of the students that it
teaches.
Academic requirements include
a well-rounded liberal education
on an undergraduate basis. Each
prospective applicant should plan
to complete work for a bachelor's
degree, although it is planned to
accept a limited number of ex-
ceptional students conditionally at
the end of their second and third
year in college. Emphasis is being
placed on not only the physical
and biological sciences, but also
on the humanities, and social and
behavioral sciences. The staff feels
that it is advisable to admit stu-
dents with strong backgrounds in
different subjects because the phy-
sician has begun to re-emphasize
that the practice of medicine touch-
es on many facts of human welfare
outside the purely physical as-
pects of disease.
Preparation
Specific courses in preparation
for medical work include eight cre-
dit hours as a minimum in biology
and laboratory work, sixteen cre-
dits in chemistry, including organ-
ic cremistry, and eight credits in
physics.
The remainder of the college
work should be distributed through
a variety of courses with an aim
toward a thorough study of one
area, and a general background
in many areas.
The prospective doctor should
also be skilled in the language arts,
and be a rapid and accurate read-
er. Most important of all is the


emphasis of character. As the
-Prctice of medicine requires a
close inter-personal relationship
in which one individual places
great trust in another, moral in-
tegrity is the primary single qual-
ification for admission, to the
school.

Selecting the U.S. Navy over
other branches of the armed
forces was mostly a matter of
fashion for three soon-to-be
graduated nursing students
from the University of
Florida.
"Of all the services, we like
the Navy uniforms best," ex-
'iad Miss Pat Ryan.
Miss Ryan, Miss Sharon
Ragan and Miss Carol Hooker
will all be going to Newport,
R.I. for basic training on July
1. Then they'll be stationed at
the Jacksonville Naval Station
for at least one year.
As ensigns who were all
commissioned last December,
the girls are obligated for two
years service. They have the
option to travel during this se-
cond year, but so far haven't
decided where they want to'go
then.
Finances also played a big
part in the nurses' decision to
don uniforms. The Navy has
paid their tuition, a book
allowance of $50, and a salary
of 7 6 for six months and $475

DEAN OF NURSING


AT U.F.VIEWS


'TOTAL PATIENT'
GAINESVILLEF-Dorotbjy M. Smith, dean of the College of
Nursing and chief of nursing practice in the University of,
Florida Teaching Hospital, sees 'a urse's cap as, a helmet of
Minerva, goddess of wisdom, instead of a saintly halo.
"It takes intelligence to express love in a useful, a scien-
tific .way. Just the intuitive urge to be helpful is not enough."
Inceptor-dean of the UF program for nine years and a
nurse herself for 29 years, Miss Smith is a voice crying In the
wilderness of need for nurses with brains. "Give me an Intelli-
gent girl, a challenging faculty, some success experiences
for her, and I'll have a fine nurse."
Dean Smith sees nursing, born in militarism and religiosity,
often lacking in creativity. She feels there is little real nurs-
ing science now; nurses are not lesser doctors, but for years
textbooks have acted as if they were. If a science of nursing
is to develop, she feels, inductive and experimental methods
must be encouraged by a teaching hospital. Ideas are placed
at higher premium at the J. Hillis Millet Health Center than
routine. "We are not teaching current practice, but what is
possible."
AS AN example of the inquiring process that builds a
science, Dean Smith tells of a young nurse who began to Ques-
tioi current practice" of mouth care for an accident patient
with an immobilized jaw,. The ordinary toothbrush technique
did: not seem to get the mouth clean enough, believed the
student nurse. She began poring over tomes in the library
about mouth hygiene and the prevention of infection. It be-
came a project with her.
:With the approval of the physicians, she began care of one

"normal" mouth and two wired-jaw patients, one with the tra-
ditional toothbrus#i and the others with a peroxide swabbing.
By then 'taking cultures, her research, while certainly not ex-
haustive, indicated that the oxidizing cleanser was more potent
in keeping mouth infection down. The student nurse instituted
a new method of mouth hygiene for the wired-jaw patient of
the UP hospital and, hopefully, wherever she goes to nurse
after graduation.
Another and much more complex area of this creative
nursing is the "total patient" view. "It is presumptuous to
think that any one person or one branch of medicine can
minister to a patient's total needs," says Dean Smith.
"However, aside from the physiological causes of"'a per-
son's illness, there are so many psychological ones that the
nurse can help with.
"The difficulty is. of course, that.these problems are so
difficult to pin down. There is a set formula for giving pills
at a certain time or rubbing a tired back a certain way, but
no sure way to know when to let a patient 'be sick' and
when to motivate him to be strong and get well."
Since the nurse is with the patients more than the doctor,
she can build -an Interpersonal relationship that can hasten
the healing process if she's trained in this area of people-to-
Speople interchange. "Itf may be that the science of comminuni-
cation is more pertinent to 'nursing than the science of the
disease itself."
JUDGMENT through observation is the preachment of the
dean. Since a young student will' not have much experience
to draw from yet, the dean harks back to the Importance
of an intelligent girl* using her wits.
She follows, as an example, the history of crying. In early
nursing, a weeping patient was immediately urged to buck up
-things are not all that bad,. stiff upper lip, that sort of thing.
Then a psychological permissiveness hit nursing amidship, and
nurses urged everybody to cry it out: "It'll make you feel
better."
"Well, obviously, neither of these Is the whole answer,"
says the dean. "There are, some people who must not cry;
to them it would be a shattering experience to find themselves
losing control. Others must have' this outlet. The good nurse
must observe to know each patient's need."
Dean Smith hopes to correct in the UF hospital a mis-
conception among nurses-that they are working for the hos-
pital or the doctor. "They are working for the patient. /
Regardless of where the money comes from, this is their
primary function."
The nurse at the Center is taught to do this by precept
and example. A common precept is that growth (healing) re-
quires the environment conducive to growth and a sense of
cortimitment. A nurse, believes the dean, should be able to
supply these requirements. "In every miracle Jesus worked, he
demanded the sick to commit himself-stretch out his hand,
rise and take up his bed, and so forth. This may sound a little
mystical but it is a necessary, even If not fully understood,
part of healing."
WITHIN this precept, the liurses are urged to "motivate
the strength" of the patient. It will be her task to inspire a
pregnant woman to keep her weight down, encourage a kid-
ney patient to drink lots of water, teach a diabetic his care,
show a pre-operative patient how to cough after surgery.
"You do this by listening. Suppose I have a bossy patient.
This is his strength. I will use it by getting him to participate
~K~e.~ten~gh ihis desiree to

t^ bueHtry give hajim Sxperience'lin tis, or at
least listen to him tell xne all 'Jbout. his garden."
Which brings up another paramount aspect of the teach-
.aing program at the Center: example. Dean Smith is one ofsthe
E-5~atl ::rw ~ai^T~tffI~kl-TO^-lift^^w^ ^fee~ -aot~citEls
chatelaine of the keys to the administration offices and the
file 'cabinets. She nurses.
Her guiding principle here is that a student nurse needs
someone to emulate. "I'd be foolish to deny the fact'that


I'm a good nurse. I always teach a freshman class; I
don't 'save myself for graduates. I owe it to freshmen
to show them what's expected of them."
The dean also feels very strongly that the nurse's placE
Is with "the crying, the whining, the hurting, the dying,",an<
not wrangling with the cook, the launderer and the supply de
apartment. She_ is one of the innovators of a hospital adminis
tration system that lets nurses nurse whil6 a unit manage

catheters.
This is a matter of improved pay scale because heretc
fore, if a nurse wished t6 Increase her salary, her principal
opportunity to do so was by accepting an administrative poE
and forsaking the bed pan almost altogether.
Dean Smith instituted these studied judgments on th
philosophy of the Center's nurse-teaching program since Jani
ary, ,1956, when she came to be its dean. The first student
came that September, the first patients in 1958, Prior to thi
Miss Smith studied at Columbia University, received her nur
ing diploma from Quincy City Hospital, got a master's froi
Harvard University and studied at Duke University and Ne
York ,University.
Her "brains-base" theory of nursing, however, stems fro
a personal experience. The Boston an was reared in Depre
sion days, and after high school she knew only that she didr
want to teach. ("Ironic, isn't it?" grins the instructor.)
She went with her best friend, who wanted to become
nurse, to an interview with a panel of stiffly starched nur
recruiters. "Do you want to help mankind? Did you love
play with dolls? Did you bandage your dog when he w
hurt?"
TO- THESE questions, Dorothy Smith gave all the wro
answers. Yes, she guessed she liked mankind, at least soi
of it; some of it she didn't like at all. No, she was ralk
in a family of brothers and she always detested dolls, E
knocked the halo around nursing crankside when she sa
candidly, "I want to make a living." They accepted her w

TOTH ESfE questions, Dorothy Smith gave all the wrong
answers. Yes, she guessed she liked mankind, at least some
of it; some of it she didn't like at all. No, she was raised
in a family of brothers and she always detested dolls. She

18-year-old's personality traits and "motivations" for enter-
ing nursing; "I go on intelligence, frankly. There's room for
many types of people in nursing."
Nationally acknowledged as a ,dean~, si'
Dorothy Smith turns down an average of six invitations a
week to lecture or .conduct seminars over the country. She
limits herself now to a speech a month. Besides publishing
frequently, teaching, administrating and caring for patients, the
dean is raising a foster-daughter and, "living a well-rounded
life away from 'the hospital."
On campus she's considered asocial because she's not a
teadup balancer or a small talk artist. "Actually, I'm very
shy."
She manages this amazing schedule by another little trait
she's developed- and hopes to show her students: the wise
use of time. "I can talk to a patient for five minutes, being
solely and undividedly theirs for that time, and make them
feel I've been there 30 minutes.
"I sometimes hear doctors' wives complain about their
husbands' being home so little, and I think, 'If the husband had
a way of being more there in a short time, being wholly
hers during those rare periods, she would not complain.' "
Since a story about the teaching philosophy of the College
of Nursing at the Center and a story about Dean Dorothy
Smith are bound to merge, the term the dean borrows from
Kahlil Gibran ("The Prophet") epitomizes what both dean and
hospital stand for: "Work is love made visible."-

SIn the unique program of the
College of Nursing at the Univer-
sity of Florida, nursing students
follow a program similar to that
of students enrolled in other col-
leges of the University. That is,
students have an opportunity to
combine general education and
professional nursing courses dur-
Shg the program of study.
During the first two years the
students are enrolled in the Uni-
: verity Colege, where they pursue
Such courses as are required oft
Sally freshmjan and sophomores in
combination with their nursing
courses..

IDuiri.g A-ll four years, the stu-
Sdent may live in modern dormi-

activities as do other students.
SBecause the Teaching Hospital
win:admit patients which require
all types of nursing care, includ-

all types of patients in the Hos-

Philosophy
"We believe," Dean Smith said,
"That the most effective profes-
sional nurse is .the onle who can
give to the most/patient# the deep-
ib~ ^ ^i *^ i5 ..... ... ..iBEE lc


lovingly and thoroughly cared for
as patients.
"We further believe," she con-
tinued, "that this effectiveness, is
basic to competent functioning 'in
any and all areas of specializaftion
within the nursing profession whe-
ther teaching, administration, re-:
search or continued develd*miegt,
in the direct care of patients."
Instructors in nursing' are faced I
with the challenge of teaching stu-
dents that the tools and proced-
ures of nursing are means rather
than ends, and that "the relation-
ship between nurse and patient is
important to the usefulness and ef-
fectiveness of the procedure." The
core of the program at the Uni-
versity of -Florida is to help
the% student develop a helping
relationship towards the patient:
She will- be taught both inter -
personal and manual skills.
To Be Different :
Campus life for nursing students,
beginning with this first class of
forty-four women, will not b:' sep-1
arated from that of other cQeds.
Dean Smith explained, mdJn slsk

her to spend so much ,itme in the
hospital and also because her

Dean Harrell used a series of now in use, but it had been ne-
slides to show the present status cessary to omit several sections


rf the Health Center, as compar-
ed to proposals for the project he
discussed with Rotarians almost
three years ago.
The importance of the propos-
ed access road connecting the
Hawthorne and Archer Highways
to the Health Center was stressed
by Dean Harrell. He said this
would. link the Health Center with
the"fte for the new Alachua Gen-
eral Hospital, the Farm Colony,


included in the original plan. He
added that the pharmacy wing of
the building would be placed be-
for the next session of the Legis-
lature, and work would start soon
on the housing unit at the inter-
section of the Archer Road and U.
S. 441.
A progress report was also
made on the Hospital Building now
under construction, and Dean Har-
rell again used slides to show how
the Hospital will connect with the
Medical Science Building.
He said that the first elass of
medical students admitted last
september numbered 47 with one
of the 48 approved students fail-
ing to report, and a similar class
to start next September was al-
ready selected from over 300 ap-
plicants.
Dean Harrell said fine progress
had been made in the Nursing
School under Dean Dorothy Smith
and 45 were now in training with
additional students wishing to
transfer at the start of the new
semester.
Faculty
The speaker said the basic sci-
ence faculty had been largely se-
lected, and the school was now
in the process of selecting the
clinical faculty.
He was high in his praise for
the cooperation given the Health
Center by local physicians, news-
papers. radio stations, and the
general public.
Visiting Rotarians were Harry
Wrench, Minneapolis, Minn.; Bell
O'Brien, Lake Orion, Mich.; Ho-
mer Dennis, Minerva, Ohio; Bob

Dorothy Smith Returns To

Patient Care And Teaching


Dean Dorothy
organized the
Florida's College


M. Smith, who
University of
of Nursing in a


V^ Clt 3 Ci. <3, I --! 1 .t113 11C1 I 1V
as dean effective in October in
order to devote full time to pa-
tient care and teaching.
Dean Smith developed the
baccalaureate degree nursing pro-
gram at the University of Florida
and, as a result, brought national
recognition to the University and
to the nursing profession.
"Her innovations in nursing
education at the baccalaureate,
and later the master's level," said
University President Stephen C.
O'Connell, "have broadened
horizons for nurse educators and
brought improvements in nursing
care which have benefited citi-
zens throughout the State. Her
administrative ability has done
much to elevate the College of
Nursing to a place of eminence in
our Health Center complex."
Vice President for Health
Affairs, Edmund F. Ackell,
describes Dean Smith as "an edu-
cator respected as one of the out-
standing leaders in her field."
"Dean Smith requested that
she be relieved of the deanship in
early January, and we appreciate
her willingness to stay on. Her
dedication to patient care
principles she has fought hard to
establish will continue to benefit
nursing students and the nursing
profession as nurse graduates
become leaders in patient care
institutions and in public health
nursing," he said.
In 1956, when she first arrived
to build academic foundations for
the College of Nursing, Dean
Smith's insistence that nursing
education and research should be
closely related to patient care,
was unique in the United States.
Her philosophies, in the formative
years of the College, were contro-
versial among many of her col-
leagues across the nation.
But as the College expanded


Dean Smith
in size and in stature, Dean Smith
found herself in demand to share
her ideas on how a nurse should
be trained and how she should
function in the health care
system. In recent years, Dean
Smith has been called upon to
participate in the White House
Conference on Health, to present
new ideas for dealing with the
nation's health needs, and to
address colleagues at other uni-
versities and at national meetings
of the nursing profession.
Less than a year ago, she was
presented with the Florida
Nurses Association's highest
honor for her "distinguished
contributions to the progress of
nursing education and nursing
service."
Dean Smith chose to become
chief of nursing practice while
managing the deanship ..
much to the raised eyebrows of
nursing school deans elsewhere.
She undertook clinical practice
for two reasons: to serve as a
role model for faculty members
and students in emphasizing the
importance she attributed to
clinical practice; to develop pro-
gressively deeper understanding
of the problems faced by patients,
and the extent to which those
problems could be alleviated by
the attention of highly competent
nurse clinicians.
In the course of her career,

(Continued from p. 1)
Dean Smith has emerged as a
quotable spokesman in the field
of nursing. Regarding the need for
making nursing an intellectual,
scientific process, she has said,
"I do not want my nursing stu-
dents to learn how to make up 20
beds. I want them to figure 20
creative ways to get their patients
out of bed."
She also advocated the
maverick notion that nursing
salaries should be increased as
the nurse works more closely
with the patient, rather than
paying highest salaries to those
who leave patient care for desk
jobs.
Under Dean Smith's leader-
ship, the College of Nursing was
fully accredited for its bacca-
laureate program by the National
League for Nursing in 1961, and
has since established master's
degree programs in maternal and
infant care nursing, pediatric
nursing, medical surgical nursing
and psychiatric nursing. Plans are
well underway for adding a
master's degree program in public
health nursing.
Dean Smith has published
widely in such publications as
"The American Journal of
Nursing," "The Yearbook of
Modern Nursing," "Nursing Out-
look," and the "International
Journal of Nursing Studies."








THE TEACHING OF A NURSING STUDEI


During the third and fourth years of the four-year University of Florida nursing
program, the student continues her studies in other Colleges as well as the College
of Nursing, under the concept that with a well-rounded education, the nurse can work
more effectively with her patient on a personal as well as clinical level. Within the
College, her work is divided between the classroom, where nursing theory is taught,
and the clinical facility, where the theory is tested and put into practice. She pre-
pwres in the nursing fields of maternal and infant care; pediatrics; medical-surgical;
public health; psychiatry; and gerontology. In the photos below, senior nursing studerit
Dee May is involved in just a few of the many aspects of her education.


Nursing students spend a total of 12 hours of their* clinical training in the
Hospital's Intensive Care Unit. Above, the head night nurse explains the function of
a cardiac monitor which is checking the heart rate of an infant who has just under-
gone open heart surgery.


For a patient who faces a long hospital stay, a friendly visit helps the patient
realize he is important. Dee makes "rounds" to visit with her patients as often as
possible.


The duties of a nurse are many,
and vary from scientific tech-
niques in patient care to helping
the patient in ways he cannot
help himself. At right, Dee feeds
an infant who is in a "croup
tent", which maintains high hu-
midity.


Much of what the nursing stu-
dent learns in the hospital comes
through her own curiosity and
investigation. At left, Dee re-
searches background information
on her patient to determine why
certain drugs were prescribed.


I


Training in the hospital is only
a portion of the University of
Florida student nurse's learning
experience. After four years of
study-in the classroom as well
as in the hospital-the student
receives a bachelor of science de-
gree in nursing.


II


During a coffee break,
nursing students almost
always talk about nursing
-or medical students.


Nursing students must
learn the use and function
of the many mechanical
aids employed in patient
care. At right, Dee checks
the rate of flow of an in-
travenous fluid being ad-
ministered to her patient.
