Historical note

New England Deaconess Hospital (NEDH) opened in 1896, rooted in the Methodist deaconessmovement in Germany. Deaconesses are ordained religious women who participate in missionary workand care for the sick. The New England Home and Training School for deaconesses had opened inBoston in 1889, and the first superintendent, Mary E. Lunn, led the drive for an associated hospitalthat would allow for hospital-trained nurses to instruct students. The hospital opened in a convertedbrownstone, a comfortable, homelike environment intended to complement the deaconesses' role inpatient care. In 1898, the first class of three graduated from New England Deaconess Hospital's nursingschool. In 1899, non-deaconesses were allowed to attend, and by 1904 the course had increased to threeyears, including a probationary period.

In 1913 the NEDH School of Nursing (NEDH SON) became associated with Simmons College, whichallowed nursing students to take science courses in addition to their hospital training. By 1922, thetraining school for deaconesses had merged with the Department of Religious Education at BostonUniversity, leaving their facilities to the sole use of the expanding School of Nursing. Increasedsecularization, professionalization, and specialization in the medical field meant more women werebecoming nurses rather than deaconesses, and NEDH began attracting specialists like Dr. Elliot P. Joslin,an authority on diabetes and one of the first to use insulin treatment. Despite the institution's gradualmove away from an overtly religious mission, non-Protestants were not widely admitted to the School ofNursing until 1951.

Nursing education shifted from diploma schools like the NEDH School of Nursing to college programsin the 1960s. In 1963, the School of Nursing ended its association with Simmons College and becameaffiliated with Northeastern University, providing students an opportunity to also receive bachelor'sdegrees. It also became more common for students to attend Boston University. The federal NurseTraining Act of 1964 meant that diploma and collegiate schools of nursing were eligible for federalgrants and student loans. Ellen D. Howland, director of the School of Nursing from 1956-1985, becamean assistant director of NEDH in 1967, long before her peers in nursing were similarly valued.

Although the School of Nursing scored in the top rankings of diploma schools throughout the 1970sand early 1980s, the strong trend towards collegiate degrees in nursing education, combined with thehospital's need for space, resulted in the decision in 1986 to close the School of Nursing. The last classentered in September 1986 and graduated in May 1989, after which the School of Nursing was officiallyclosed.

Series XI: Scrapbooks, circa 1890-1972

Scope and Contents

The scrapbook series includes fifteen scrapbooks created by students and staff of NEHD SON and its affiliatedhospitals. These scrapbooks contain a large number of photographs and clippings, as well as pamphlets, mailings,promotional materials, letters, class schedules, invitations, greeting cards, and souvenir objects. Only two of thescrapbooks have identified creators: the Claire G. Elliott NEDH scrapbook and the Warren F. Cook NEDH andPalmer Memorial Hospital scrapbook. Claire G. Elliott, who graduated from NEDH SON in 1922, began compilingher scrapbook as a probationer in 1918 and completed it in 1940. Dr. Warren F. Cook, a Methodist minister witha doctorate in Divinity, served as superintendent of NEDH from 1929 to 1954. One scrapbook, "Science andChristianity at Work in the New Palmer Memorial Hospital," appears to have been a lending publication intendedfor use in fundraising lectures. The majority of the later scrapbooks, especially those dating from the 1950s and1960s, are collections of newspaper clippings regarding NEDH and its students. Many of the scrapbooks are fragileand should be handled with care.
