 THE PREsIDENT's ADDRESS.
 The address of the president, Mrs. Noah Porter, at the annual meeting recalls the start of the enterprise, when the school had head nurse and six pupils, that being thought sufficient force for the wants of the hospital at that time. It has now head nurse and twenty-three pupil nurses, the number being thus increased to meet the growing demands of the hospital.

The home for nurses has been occupied fourteen months, and is 8 great benefit. In one respect, how ever. it is insufficient.

 "They were placed in the third story, but could not be so isolated as to make it secure for others in the building, and to supply their wants required much time and strength of anotber person.
 "Fhe same thing has repeatedly occurred, and shows the need of an addition to the home for similar cases, which are likely to occur at any time. Will some of our friends generously come forward and help us in this emergency, to make it a complete and perfect home for the nurses, so many did two years since to enable us to erect and furnish this building?''
