Annie Warburton Goodrich, the first woman Dean in our University, established here the first graduate professional school of nursing in the world. She did so in the belief that a nurse must be "technically skilled, scientifically informed, and socially experienced." When she become Dean Emeritus in 1934 the Yale school of Nursing was internationally famous. Today throughout the world graduates of Yale are carrying on the spirit, the courage, and the devotion to the cause that Dean Goodrich taught by precept and example.
