FOREWARD SCHOOL OF NURSING by THE FIRST PRINCIPAL OF OSLER I am pleased to have been asked to write a foreward for this most interesting review of the Osler Campus of Humber College of Applied Arts and Technology. It was a pleasure for me to read of the many important activites which have taken place in recent years in the building which I and a handfull of nursing pioneers and devoted volunteer governors worked so hard to create in the 1960s. I sincerely commend Helen Miller for understanding this challenge. It is my hope that reading this excellent inaugural text will spur those of us who were so intimately involved in the.effort to improve nursing education and patient care in Ontario to undertake the task of chronicling the evolution of the Osler School of Nursing, including the excitement of creating from a dream a program and campus and graduating a new era of nurses.
