New Building to be Named For Miss Amy Lee Oxford Dutiful Nurte Honored. Occupation Building Soon To Be Erected In Building Program Through an announcement appear ing in the Sanitarium Bulletin, the new Occupational Therapy that will be erected in the new building pro gram now in progress, will bear the name of Miss Amy Lee Oxford, a nurse who was killed while in the line of duty at the State Hospital. Mis# Oxford, who first began the job of habit training at the Institu tion, had been devoted to her work and it was through her effort that this department became so effective. She began her work in 1919 with only one patient working in a mmH room. Patients were added until .ihe was moved into a domitory in order that the scope of her work might be increased. Occupation was found to fit in with hab : t training. Her work was first devoted to chronic cases who were filthy or de structive. , When the group reached twenty-five it was deemed wise to drop the chronics and begin on new pati nta. This is when the real occu pational therapy began and Miss Ox ford was the pioneer of this work. The grqwth of this work has been marked, and the new building that to be erected will house a larger number patient* than ever before. The results gained have been re markable.
