Digitized by VjOOQ IC 56 REMINISCENCES OF Dr. Cowles had struggled long before he convinced the board of trustees that a change in the methods of nursing was either desirable or necessary. That their approval had finally been won was shown by my presence there. But this approval was not shared by the ten house officers and their three assistants whom on that January day I first met at table, where I presided, the only woman among thirteen strange men. If they did not object to my presence, they... certainly had no cordial welcome for me, nor for the work I was there to organize. Why do we all oppose new measures before first testing their virtues? These men were still very young, but they were doctors; they felt they had a knowledge of what was needful for the sick under their care, and most of them had a feeling of opposition to all changes. Nevertheless, although in the beginning they succeeded in making my trying work much more difficult, several of them became warm friends of the cause before they left the hospital.
