The profession of nursing, from Florence Nightingale
to Edith Cavell, has been rarely fortunate in its leaders.
At times of grave crisis, there has always been found the
woman to meet the emergency; and the service of Miss Delano
in the great war was a new demonstration of a glorious
tradition. As head of the Nursing Service of the American
Red Cross she bore one of the heaviest responsibilities of
the war. She bore it so well that whatever unavoidable
complications might occur in other branches of the service,
there was never for one moment a shortage of the nurses it was
her business to supply. She did her immediate work with wisdom
2
and patience and decision. She looked beyond it to the possi-
4
bilities of Red Cross Service to the cause of public health in
I
peace time and, in the working out of plans for decentralizing
w
her organization, she builded with vision for the future. Her
0
personality lent dighity and power to the profession which she
represented and gave it a worthy voice in the councils of the
nation. Both her profession and her nation will remember her
with pride and admiration as a great figure in a great period
of the world's history.
