Overview and metadata sections

The Lankenau Hospital began its long existence in 1860, when the German Hospital of the City of Philadelphia was incorporated. The hospital did not open its doors to the public until 1866, as its original building was commandeered by the United States government for use in treating wounded Civil War soldiers during the years 1862-1866. With the entrance of the United States into the war in Europe in 1917, the Board of Trustees decided to change the name of the hospital to honor one its founders and major benefactors, businessman John D. Lankenau. Relocated twice in its history, the German/Lankenau Hospital became a local landmark in its facilities at Girard and Corinthian Avenues in North Philadelphia before moving in December 1953 to a new building situated on land carved out of the Overbrook golf course. This modern, tailor-made physical plant allowed the hospital to expand and grow better than it had been able to in the congested North Philadelphia neighborhood.

The year 1884 was marked by an event of considerable significance in the history of the Lankenau Hospital organization. One of the reasons the German Hospital had been formed was to provide German-speaking emigres with quality hospital care in surroundings where their mother tongue was spoken. Close ties were maintained with Germany, and medical advances made there were often put into practice by the doctors at the German Hospital. Thus, in 1884, aware of the need for better "nursing" care, seven Lutheran Deaconesses who were trained at the Kaiserswerth in Germany answered the call to modernize German Hospital's practices.

Though the number of Deaconesses at the German Hospital grew to thirty-six by 1899, the Board of Trustees of the hospital felt that it would be wise to establish a training school for nurses so that future needs could be met more easily. Thus the Training School of the German Hospital of the City of Philadelphia came into being in 1899, with an enrollment of five students. This diploma program, initially two years in length, was soon extended to three years-- the length which was maintained until 1968, when the program was slightly abbreviated to thirty-two months. Sister Magdalene von Bracht (one of the original seven Deaconesses), who was the directing sister of the German Hospital, became the de facto director of the fledgling training school. In 1909, however, Sister Marie Koeneke was named Superintendent of Nursing, as the school had become more formalized and was in need of someone who could devote full attention to its day-to-day operations. Sister Marie served in that position for twenty-four years, until 1933. Her impact on the course and direction taken by the school was profound, for it was during this period that the school became more of what we would consider "modern." The same year of Sister Marie's appointment, the first full-time nursing instructor in the state of Pennsylvania was hired by the German Hospital. Ida F. Giles, who was also a member of the infant Pennsylvania State Board of Examiners for the Registration of Nurses, played an important role in shaping the development of the nursing school. In 1919, the duties of the director had grown to the point that a full-time Assistant Director, Edith Bube, was added to the staff.

Though there were only five students at the school of nursing during its first year of operation, enrollment soon began to climb as the school established its reputation. Twenty years after its opening, enrollment was hovering around twenty-five students per class. The number remained steady at about thirty per class until the late 1940s when a surge in interest drove the number of enrolled students to new heights. As student interest increased and the field of nursing instruction progressed, more spacious and modern teaching facilities were needed. Thus, a Nursing Education Building attached to the main hospital was built in 1965, providing students with state-of-the-art laboratories and classrooms. Peak enrollment at the school was reached sometime in the late 1960s/early 1970s when there were as many as seventy-five students in a graduating class. The number of matriculants began to decline in the following years, especially in the decade of the 1980s, as college and university-based nursing schools began to make their ascent. Although the Lankenau Hospital School of Nursing affiliated with Eastern College in suburban Philadelphia in 1981, giving its students access to college-based natural science programs, still the number of students declined, resulting in the decision to close the program with the graduation of the class of 1992.

The history of the Lankenau Hospital School of Nursing would not be complete without mention of two other entities: the School of Practical Nursing and the Nurses' Alumnae Association. To meet the ever-increasing need for quality nursing care, the Lankenau Hospital opened a school for the training of licensed practical nurses in 1967. The School of Practical Nursing, which offered a one-year program, closed finally in 1979, after having graduated 151 LPNs. An abortive attempt to establish an alumnae association at the German Hospital in 1906 was followed by success in 1909. The Nurses' Alumnae Association has operated continuously for many decades since its second inception - its monthly publication, The Chronicle, affords a glimpse at the many activities of the association. It was very active in promoting nursing education by providing scholarships and supporting extracurricular activities.

Donated by the Lankenau Hospital School of Nursing, the collection includes records from the hospital, school of practical nursing, school of nursing, and the Nurses' Alumnae Association. Administrative files, student records, publications, artifacts, and a large number of photographs combine to provide a well-rounded view of the school throughout its many years of operation.

Scope and Contents note

This series includes the student records for graduates and discontinued students. Though it is complete through the final graduating class (1992), it should be reiterated here that by convention, certain restrictions are placed on free access to student records. In order to preserve some measure of privacy, only those student records which are more than fifty years old (those fifty years being measured from the date of graduation or withdrawal) will be made available to researchers. In addition, though earlier records may be accessed, anonymity of the individuals must be maintained.
