Over a fourhour period onWednesday, January 7, 2009,the 2400pound statue ofFlorence Nightingale wascarefully moved from theCollege of Nursing to the mainlevel of the Spencer S. EcclesHealth Sciences Library whereshe will remain as a welcomeguest during the College ofNursing's twoyear buildingrenovation.
Carved in Italy fromPortuguese rose marble bysculptor Avard TennysonFairbanks, and dedicated onMay 23, 1975, the statueholds a lamp in its right handand nursing notes in its left. Itportrays her just as journalistand biographer Edward TyasCook wrote in The Life ofFlorence Nightingale(published in 1913),
"She is a 'ministering angel' without any exaggeration in thesehospitals, and as her slender form glides quietly along eachcorridor, every poor fellow's face softens with gratitude at thesight of her. When all the medical officers have retired for thenight and silence and darkness have settled down upon thosemiles of prostrate sick, she may be observed alone, with a littlelamp in her hand, making her solitary rounds."
Victorian sentimentality aside, Florence Nightingale (18201910) was notonly the founder of nursing as a profession, but was also an innovativehealth statistician who made the numbers understandable for bureaucrats.During the disastrous 18531856 Crimean War, she was able to convincethe British Army that its soldiers' scandalously high death rates were due topoor sanitation, horrific overcrowding, and poor nutrition, ideas that laterchanged patient care in English hospitals.
She was dubbed The Lady with the Lamp, following an article in the Times
