SATCTtDAY, MAY' 18, 1957
ALBERT MARY THWEATT
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
Nothing in this world is so good
as usefulness. It binds your < fel¬
low creatures to you, and you to
them; it tends to the improvement
of your own character and gives
you a real importance in society,
much beyond what any artificial
station can bestow.—13. C. Brodie.
“To a very grand lady, we dedi¬
cate this column.” Miss Campbell.
MISS OUSE CAMPBELL
HONORED BY DELTAS
Beta Delta Sigma Chapter of
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority hon¬
ored Miss Olise Campbell, super¬
intendent of Charity Hospital
Nurses, with a reception that fea¬
tured “This Is Your Life.” This
event was one of the features ol
tA' annual May Week celebration
of the Deltas.
Taking an active part in the re¬
flections of the life of the honored

Bryant, who praised her in hei
professional role as superintendent
of nurses; Mrs. E. J. Smith wht
gave her professional background
ami experiences, and Miss Made¬
line Shivery who gave an account
of her civic interests.
Capturing some of the high¬
lights of .these reflections we shall
attempt to mention a few. After
her graduation her first profes¬
sional work was that of an infirm-
f ‘ ’; ;
, the exclusive St.
ary nurse at
Mary’s Junior College in Raleigh,
N. C. After passing the State
Board examination she was called

spite of her positivcncss she was

dents.
After thc closing of thc train¬
ing school at Charity Hospital she
nurse for n seven years 1,1 by the

ment. Courses were later taken at
