(The following story is one of a series in which 216 will feature individuals or families who have influenced the hos- pital's development through the years. Without their continuing interest, guid- ance and support, Jewish Hospital could not have achieved its present high stand- ard' programs of patient care, research and education.)

A gift of $300,000 given by Mr. Shoenberg's widow, Dollie and his only son, Sydney, made possible the construction of a nurses residence and school of education. The building was de- SIDNEY M.
