VOLUME 22, NUMBER 34 SEPTEMBER 5,1975 DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA Senior Class ^Big Sisters' Cap Juniors In Annual Chapel Commitment Service Each senior class big sister stepped up the chapel steps, called her little sister forward and placed the cap gingerly on her head. It was the highlight of the School of Nursing’s annual Commitment Service for 93 junior female nursing students. With the presentation of each cap came the beginning of two more years of clinical nursing training toward a B.S. degree. The Duke cap has its own unique history and, besides being an outward and visible sign of the nursing profession and of the Duke affiliation in particular, it has seen several modifications over the years. ‘The cap came into being in 1931 when Miss Louise Grant, first instructor in Nursing Arts, and Miss Bessie Baker, Dean, adopted the general pattern of the cap of the University of Minnesota Hospital from which Miss Grant was graduated,” stated a nursing school historical account. The account also noted that, chief among its modifications, was the adoption of a series of four tucks down the back of the cap. Today, the cap is worn by Duke graduates no matter where their nursing professions have taken them. The commitment service was prefaced by an invocation by Dr. Barney L. Jones, professor of religion, and addresses were given by Dr. James T. Gleland, James B. Duke professor emeriti of the divinity school, and Nursing Professor Dr. Pauline Gratz. Dr. Ruby L. Wilson, dean of the nursing school, hailed the students’ entry into the clinical area of nursing as an opportunity for renewed knowledge, skills and attitudes. With the recitation of the Professional Nursing Pledge, the 93 capped juniors joined an excited recessional from Duke Chajiel to the congratulations of their parents and friends. Those juniors receiving their caps included: HAPPINESS IS — For junior nursing students, last Tuesday night was theirs. Two years of school completed, they made a commitment to nursing and two more years of study, received their caps and the congratulations of parents and friends.
