The article follows: Not aH the women who have contributed luster to the great name of St. Luke's Hospital are members of that effete and ef ficient group known as the wo men's board. The others, whose names and pictures are undoubtedly much less familiar to you, are those gallant women in white who. for as long as many Chicagoans can remember, have been writ ing that hospital's history in the nursing books rather than the society columns. Getting their costumes from uniform houses rather than from the 28 Shop, this second group are members of the St. Luke's Hospital School of Nurs ing Alumnae Association and Nursing Council who will cele brate the 65th anniversary of its founding Friday and Satur day.
