In February of 1907, the Alumnae Association of the School for Nursing at the New York Hospital agreed upon the publication of a newsletter for their alums: “It is hoped that the paper, if continued, may help to keep the members of the association in closer touch with one another…” Eight members were appointed to “gather news.”
This inaugural issue included notes about a fund for sick nurses, and brief notes about alumnae clubs and members: “The new Club rules have been drawn up, and submitted to the nurses for approval. Mrs. Robinson is abroad for an indefinite time.”
As time went on, the newsletter included more content: news about the school, notification of upcoming meetings and events of interest to alumnae, and general pieces about the state of the nursing profession.
