Description: From the Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing Records, #4776, Rush University Medical Center Archives, Chicago, Ill. See webpage for more information: http://rushu.libguides.com/rusharchives. Presbyterian Hospital of the City of Chicago was founded in 1883. Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing was founded in 1903. On April 25, 1956, with the merger of St. Luke's and Presbyterian Hospitals, the schools of nursing merged as the Presbyterian-St. Luke's School of Nursing. The school catalogs for PHSN include bulletins of information, 1903-1917, followed by annual announcements, 1920-1956. The bulletins and announcements include lists of faculty, committee members and students; admission, course, and graduation requirements; facility and residence information; history of the school and hospital; and rules and polices. Beginning with the Annual Announcement of 1948-1949, the announcements appear more promotional and include many more photographs, including pictures of the hospital campus, nursing areas, and student dormitories. Some years of Bulletins of Information/Annual Announcements have not been found, and it is not clear whether they are missing or whether they were not produced. The school's affiliations with Rush Medical College and the University of Chicago are noted in the announcement titles. Rush Medical College was affiliated with the University of Chicago, 1898-1942. Rush Medical College closed in 1942, and was revived in 1969.
