MISSIONARY NURSE DOROTHY DAVIS COOK, 1940-1972: “MOTHER OF SWAZI NURSES” Dramatically absent from nursing’s historical knowledge and professional recognition are the lives, roles, contributions, and legacies of Christian faith-based nurses. The purpose of this study was to investigate the ministry and service of Sister Tutor Dorothy Davis Cook, Church of the Nazarene missionary nurse in the African country of Swaziland 1940 to 1972. The multi-dimensional, multi-task expanded roles manifested in her integration of Christian missionary and nurse were explored and her legacy identified. The most significant primary source for this study was Mrs. Cook herself. She was interviewed on three occasions and has provided personal documents, journals, and photographs. Data were also collected from four organizational archives. Other missionary nurses and Swazi nurses were interviewed. Mrs. Cook obtained her basic nursing education and training in the United States. Following her arrival in Swaziland, she earned her midwifery certification and Sister Tutor diploma. Building on the foundation of a nurse aide program, she upgraded nursing education and established the first state registered nurse program in Swaziland To assist in this endeavor, she wrote four nursing texts which became the gold standard for similar nursing programs in the surrounding countries. She had leadership roles in the High Commission Territories’ Nursing Council, the Swaziland Nursing Council, and the Swaziland Nursing Association, and co-authored the 1965 Swaziland Nurse and Midwifery Act. For the majority of her service years, Mrs. Cook lived with the Swazi nurses. Mrs. Cook educated several hundred Swazi Christian nurses who continue to Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

In honor of her dedication to this cause, she was named the “Mother of Swazi Nurses”. The findings of this study yield unique teaching examples of missionary nursing, advanced practice nursing, nursing education, and nursing administration, each with a spiritual care emphasis in a transcultural environment The importance of cultural sensitivity and competence in all areas of nursing is demonstrated. Christian spiritual care as a dynamic component of nursing education and nursing care is prominent. Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

I first give praise and thanksgiving to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In the will of God the Father and in the power of the Holy Spirit, this phase of my personal and professional growth and development, and hopefully ministry, draws to an end. As Matthew 5:16 states, “Let your light so shine before others that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven”. In the words of one of my favorite songs, “All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe it all to Thee. To God be the glory great things He has done”. I dedicate this work to my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chester C. Elliott They raised me to know the Lord and in the mission of the Church of the Nazarene. They have prayed for me, mentored me, and sacrificed for me. They have listened, encouraged, comforted, cheered, and loved. And they proof-read one more time. I appreciate the support and prayers of my sister, my nieces, extended family, church family, and friends. Each hug, each word of encouragement, each prayer, each has been offered at the perfect moment in time and I am grateful. Guiding me through this journey has been a mentor who became my friend. Dr. Roth, with her gentle firmness, genuinely cared about what was important to me. She helped me keep my flashlight focused on one narrow path of progress and I will fondly remember our times of sharing together. To Dr. Clark and her husband, I must take this formal opportunity to thank for their generous donation of a computer. While it was a challenge to learn, the time saved in footnotes and editing is immeasurable. ii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. And to Dr. Samecky, whose command of the English language and historical methodology assisted me both in my qualifying exam and in this work, I too say thank you. As a nurse historian, she has set the standard high and it is an honor to know her and to have her name on my paper. This study was funded in part by the Sigma Theta Tau Zeta Mu Chapter at Large 1999 Research Conduct Award. My appreciation to nursing’s honor society. There is one more to whom I must say thank you and that is Dorothy Davis Cook. She first role modeled Christian missionary nursing and the joy of serving the Lord. She then granted me the privilege of writing her story. She entrusted me with all of her personal papers and documents and with the responsibility to be true to her and to her God. Thank you Miss Dorothy. iii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission.

These types Tretain their characteristics to this day, perhaps, largely, because groups of relatives friends and neighbors settled in one section and gave a dominant tinge in creed, church and custom. The sons and daughters of these families married, and creed and custom grew stronger from year to year. Thus the Scotch-Irish, a people of Scotch origin, though living in Ireland for many years before the American emigration, settled in many parts of Virginia, North and South Carolina, and what is now East Tennessee, in great numbers and impressed their Presbyterian faith upon their posterity.

  • Northwest Impressionism, 1910-1935
    Hidden in Plain Sight: Northwest Impressionism, 1910-1935 John E. Impert A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Susan Casteras, Chair René Bravmann Douglas Collins Program authorized to Offer Degree: Art History University of Washington Abstract Hidden in Plain Sight: Northwest Impressionism, 1910-1935 John E. Impert Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Susan Casteras Art History Northwest Impressionist artists are among the forgotten figures in American art history. Responsible for bringing Modernism to Washington and Oregon, they dominated the art communities in Seattle and Portland from about 1910 to 1928, remaining influential until the mid 1930’s. After describing the artists briefly, this dissertation summarizes and evaluates the slim historiography of Northwest Impressionism. Impressionism and Tonalism are contrasted in order to situate these artists within the broad currents of American art history. Six important artists who have not been studied in the past are each accorded a chapter that summarizes their educations, careers, and artistic developments. In Seattle, Paul Gustin, the early leader of the Seattle art community, was most closely associated with images of Mount Rainier. Edgar Forkner, a well established Indiana artist, moved to Seattle and painted numerous canvases of old boats at rest and still lifes of flowers. Dorothy Dolph Jensen, a latecomer, emphasized shoreline and harbor scenes in her work. In Portland, Charles McKim traded complete anonymity in Portland, Maine for the leadership of the Oregon art community, creating a variety of landscapes and seascapes. Clyde Keller produced an enormous output of landscapes over a long career that extended to California as well as Oregon.
