About the Cover
Florence Nightingale, founder of modern nursing, tended to wounded soldiers by the light of a small oil lamp during the Crimean War, earning the enduring title “The Lady with the Lamp.” Today, many nursing programs commemorate their graduates with a symbolic lamp during the pinning ceremony, representing the light of knowledge and compassion. The historic lamps featured on the cover honor seven decades of Goshen College Nursing graduates.

Lasting Ties
Keeping up with the Joneses
by Eric Bradley, head librarian of Mennonite Historical Library
When Goshen College opened its first campus health center in 1939, a dynamic young nursing couple, Marian ’41 and Wade Jones ’41, quickly became the heart of student care and community life. Their energy sparked GC’s Nurses’ Club, inspired a playful “Keeping up with the Joneses” column in The Record, and carried them from Kulp Hall to postwar mental health work across the country.
