Dr. F. R. Bradley, A Former Director, Dies At Age 73 Frank Richard Bradley, M.D., former director of Barnes Hospital and profes- sor emeritus of Washington University School of Medicine, died Friday, August 3rd, at his summer home in Buena Vista, Colo., after an illness of six months. He was 73.

Dr. Bradley served as head of Barnes Hospital for 22 years, from 1939 to 1962. A Washington University School of Medicine graduate, he became assistant superintendent of Barnes in 1928, and was appointed director in 1939.

After his retirement from his Barnes position, Dr. Bradley served as director of the program in hospital admin- istration at Washington University School of Medicine until 1968. At that time he was appointed professor emeritus. He was one of the founders of the program in hospital administra- tion.

A native of LaClede, 111., Dr. Bradley spent his early years in Southern Illinois and his entire adult life as a resident of the St. Louis area. He and his wife, Rachel Mayo Bradley, made their home in Clayton.

Recognized as a pioneer in the field of hospital administration, Dr. Bradley was described by Hospital Management magazine as a "teacher, organizer, con- sultant and philosopher... people in the United States and, indeed, all over the world benefited from his activity."

During his tenure as director of Barnes, the institution grew from one of 400 beds to 959. The David P. Wohl Jr. Memorial Clinics building, Wohl Hos- pital building, and Barnard Free Skin and Cancer Hospital building all were erected during this time and came under his administration. McMillan Hospital and St. Louis Maternity Hospital also became a part of the Barnes complex during Dr. Bradley's years as director.

"That's no lady, ma, that's my nurse," says five-year-old patient Denedra Gulley. Not so long ago, when someone asked for a nurse, they knew what to expect—she'd be young and comely or motherly. But in 1973 that stereotype is changing. More men are entering nursing today than ever before. The six above are members of the Barnes Hospital School of Nursing's August graduating class, and as such are part of the largest group of male graduates in the school's history. From left: Charles Hogue, Mark Goewert, David Evans, patient Denedra Gulley, Michael Felling, David Rakey and David Busso.

Nursing School Holds \fcar's 2nd Graduation The seventeenth commencement in the Barnes Hospital School of Nursing's sixteen-year history was held on Saturday, August 25, in the St. Louis Cathedral. Seventy-four students, the first to complete the new two-year nursing curriculum, received their diplo- mas during the ceremonies, the second held this year. (In June the last stu- dents in the three-year program received their degrees.)

Six men were among last month's group, the largest number of males to graduate at one time in the school's history. "While enrollment in the nurs- ing school has been growing, the number of male students has increased even more rapidly," says Joan Hrubetz, the school's director.

Following a procession into the cathe- dral, Barnes Chaplain Robert L. Davis gave the opening invocation. Miss Hrubetz then welcomed the students, their friends and families and intro- duced Barnes Hospital President Robert E. Frank. Mr. Frank told the students that as the first graduates of the two- year program, they had the responsi- bility of maintaining the reputation of the school. He also reminded them that now is a challenging, changing period for the profession which they are entering, but that caring for the patient as a person remains nursing's primary charge.

At the conclusion of his remarks Mr. Frank introduced Dr. Oliver Duggins, chairman of the life sciences division at Forest Park Community College, who gave the commencement address.

The second Class of '71 was presented by Charlotte Spengel, student activities co-ordinator. Diplomas were presented

to each student by Mr. Frank, who was assisted by Barbara Bradshaw, assistant director of nursing education. Miss Hrubetz presented class pins to the graduates, who also received long stemmed roses from Marilyn Anderson, vice president of the school's alumni association.

Several special awards were then presented, including the Copher award, made possible by a gift from the late Dr. Glover Copher, a former Barnes surgeon. Mr. Frank presented the award to Charles W. Hogue, the first male graduate to receive it. Barnes Auxiliary president Mrs. Stanley Kolker presented the award for outstanding theoretical achievement to Sandra McGeehon and the award for clinical performance to Nancy Miller and Sarah Lincoln.

Other special awards were presented by Donna Granada, medical-surgical nursing coordinator for the school. Then, in a departure from tradition, Christine McLean, a member of the class, presented a brief address on "Communication... A Priceless Tool in Nursing." The closing benediction was given by Barnes Catholic Chaplain Robert Krawinkel.

Graduates from the City of St. Louis included: Gloria K. Andes, Jo Ann Bardol, Mrs. Dorthy Blackmon, David P. Busso, Adele L. Gammon, Marianne Guerrero, Judith A. Hamilton, Judith A. Harmony, Susan D. Hassing, Mrs. Leoma Herrington, Janet Hollinsworth, Eileen Horvath, Mrs. Hae Soon Lee, Christine McLean, Connie L. Medlock, Carey A. Pahl, David P. Rakey, Cathey A. Stalley, Martha S. Stark, and Christine Talleur.

New Neuro ICU Monitor Doctors and nurses in Barnes' neu- rosurgical intensive care unit now have a new tool at their disposal for monitor- ing the condition of patients there, particularly those with head trauma. The device, called a polygraph, moni-

tors the intracranial pressure of the cerebral-spinal fluid which protects the brain and spinal cord from shock.

Although monitoring of intracranial pressure is not new, having been used relatively extensively in Europe for sev- eral years, it is new to regular clinical use at Barnes, says Dr. Robert A. Ratcheson, Barnes neurosurgeon. With the polygraph, which produces a tracing of the intracranial pressure on paper tape, medical personnel are aided in determining whether surgery or medi- cations are needed to reduce the pressure to normal levels.

The polygraph can also be used to study the correlation between physiological events occurring within the patient and intracranial pressure changes, as well as pressure changes associated with care. "The technique is not used with every patient in the ICU," Dr. Ratcheson says, "but only with those whose con- ditions warrant it."

The polygraph, which cost several thousand dollars, was the gift of Mrs. Helene B. Roberson, in memory of her father, Robert Baskowitz Sr.

Candy Stripers Honored Dozens of Candystripers and their guests enjoyed an evening out at the old ball game on Friday, August 31, as part of the Barnes Auxiliary's annual recognition program for junior volun- teers. This year some 200 young men and women worked throughout the hospital during their summer vacations.

The evening began at 6:30 with an awards presentation in the Pet Building's Port 400 room. Mrs. Audrey Kolker, president of the Barnes Auxiliary, wel- comed the guests. Hospital President Robert E. Frank then addressed the group, thanking them for the many hours of work they contributed this summer.

Six volunteers then described their sum- mertime experiences to the audience. Those who spoke included: Beth Rosenberg, courtesy cart; Judy Diaz, nurse volunteer; PamRoberts, admitting; Wardell Massey, dispatch; Ellen Immer, Wishing Well; and Bill Sullivan, orderly.

Next, awards were presented by chair- man Mrs. Jack Lupher, co-chairman Mrs. Edgar Hay ward and vice-president Mrs. Harry Holmes. A special 1,000- hour service pin was presented to Dale Tabit, a Candystriper who has been been working at Barnes for three sum- mers. Miss Tabit, who will be in the 9th grade at Ladue East Jr. High School this fall, worked in the Wishing Well this summer. In previous years she has worked as a nurse volunteer and in occupational therapy.

Four junior volunteers received awards for completing 500 or more hours of service. In addition, 58 received their first year bars, 26 their second year bars, 9 third year bars and 2 fourth year bars.

At the conclusion of the ceremonies the Candystripers and their guests moved to nearby Busch Stadium where they enjoyed an evening of baseball through the courtesy of August A. Busch Jr., Robert L. Hermann and the St. Louis Cardinal baseball club. Refreshments were provided by the Auxiliary.

$28,187 Grant For Nursing Education The Barnes Hospital School of Nursing recently received a $28,187 grant from the federal government to be used to increase the school's enrollment. The grant, from the division of nursing of HEW's Bureau of Health Manpower Education, covers the July 1, 1973 to July 1, 1974 period.

In addition to the aforementioned money, the school is eligible for $64,595 more of federal funds under the pro- gram. Congress appropriated funds for the latter amount, but the money was frozen by President Nixon. However, the National League for Nursing has challenged the withholding action in the courts and asked that the money be released.

In order to be eligible for the program, a nursing school must indicate that it will increase its enrollment over previous levels in accordance with federal guide- lines. Schools must also propose specific projects to be funded by the grant monies that will facilitate such enroll- ment growth. Three such projects were submitted by Barnes' nursing school.

First, Barnes proposed to establish intra- disciplinary training between Jewish Hospital's nursing school and Barnes' school. Under this proposal, facilities, faculty and other resources would be used jointly by the two schools, in- creasing the efficiency of both.

Second, Barnes proposed to develop challenge examinations for former military medics and also for LPNs. These examinations are intended to measure the medical knowledge of such students. Those passing such tests would be allowed to enter more advanced nursing classes immedi- ately, reducing the size of intro- ductory classes.

Lastly, the school proposed improve- ments in the curriculum, particularly with respect to increasing the avail- ability of individual instruction. For example, video-taped programs could be used to improve a student's knowl- edge of certain procedures, such as taking blood pressure readings. This would allow more efficient use of per- sonnel while improving the quality of instruction.

"This grant gives us the freedom to implement programs that would other- wise have been economically unfeasi- ble," says Joan Hrubetz, the school's director. "Each school of nursing can use the money to explore its own potential and undertake those projects which are unique not only to the educa- tional system of the school, but also the clinical facilities which are available to the institution."

Former Director Bradley Dies At 73 (Continued from page 1)

Among the "firsts" which Dr. Bradley helped bring about for Barnes were: 1. Barnes was one of the first general hospitals to accept patients with com- municable diseases. During a polio- myelitis epidemic in 1943, Dr. Bradley observed that with proper infection con- trol, persons suffering with the disease could be cared for in a general hospital. This principal later was accepted by other St. Louis hospitals and allowed

"The hospital can be viewed as a living organism, whose chief ana- tomical components or parts are living beings, some working, some learning, some residing, some receiving treatment, all in a group environment and under one roof."

the city to close an institution which previously served only this type of patient. 2. Barnes was one of the first general hospitals to accept psychiatric patients. 3. Dr. Bradley guided Barnes when it became one of the first Univer- sity affiliated hospitals to organize and operate diagnostic laboratories along centralized lines of control. 4. In con- junction with key physicians at Wash- ington University School of Medicine, Dr. Bradley established one of the first hospital blood banks gathering and typing blood routinely, rather than on a "crisis" basis. 5. Early on, Dr. Bradley recognized the potential for the use of computers in data processing and Barnes was one of the first hospitals in the country to use computers in its business operations.

A former president of the American College of Hospital Administrators (1946-47), Dr. Bradley was president of the American Hospital Association from 1954-55. He served as vice chair-

man of the Joint Commission on

Accreditation of Hospitals in 1960, and that same year was president of the American Protestant Hospital Associ- ation and the National Society of Medical Administrators.

A former president of the St. Louis Hospital Council, Dr. Bradley was active in the St. Louis Medical Society and the St. Louis Chapter of the American Red Cross. He was chairman of the Blue Cross Hospital Advisory Committee from 1957 to 1960.

National activities included his appoint- ment as the first chairman of the Citizen's Consultant committee of the National Joint Commission for Im- provement of Patient Care, a consultant for the Atomic Energy Commission at Los Alamos, a member of the Hoover Committee Task Force in 1948-49 (Medical Services Committee of Com- mission on Organization of Executive Branch of the Government), Consultant to both the offices of Surgeon General of the Army and Surgeon General of the Navy.

Dr. Bradley was chairman of both the Missouri Conference for Improvement of Patient Care and the Missouri State

"We should feel that human service is a pleasant duty and not a sign of weakness, that very simple things bring happiness—as we might say, in simple service, to simple people, in a simple way."

Health and Hospital Survey Committee. He was chairman of a subcommittee of the Health and Hospital Advisory Com- mittee to the Mayor and Director of Public Welfare of St. Louis in 1950.

Other community activities included the Community Health League of St. Louis, the Community Chest of Greater St. Louis, the Tuberculosis and Health Society of St. Louis, the Commission on Religion and Health of the Metro- politan Church Federation, the Rotary Club of St. Louis, and the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce.

The author of many papers and publi- cations, Dr. Bradley also was a historian with a particular interest in the history of Barnes Hospital, which he researched and wrote.

In addition to his wife, Dr. Bradley is survived by his son, Dr. Richard B. Bradley of Ladue; two daughters, Mrs. Betty Fuchs of Buena Vista, Colo., and Mrs. Jean Dunham, Dayton, O.; six granddaughters; and, three grandsons. Another daughter, Mrs. Frances Alderson, preceded him in death.

Memorial services for Dr. Bradley were held on Wednesday, August 8th, at the Central Presbyterian Church, 801 S. Hanley Road, St. Louis. Barnes President Robert E. Frank and William H. Danforth, Chancellor of Washington University, delivered eulogies to Dr. Bradley.

"Today's hospital is not only the workshop of the doctor—it performs more college functions than many of us realize. The educational activities even in the comparatively small community hospital are considerable."

Mr. Frank enumerated the many con- tributions to hospital and health care administration that Dr. Bradley made during his long career. "His students, his associates, his friends, will miss Frank Bradley. But we're all better for having known him and learned from him. And so are all the persons who enter hospitals everywhere."

«fort lC*z*rio«'* m Everyone drinks it, plays in it, washes in it. St. Louisians consume 115 billion gallons of it a year, and it is rated, like fine wine, according to its odor, clarity, and content.

But very little is known—for sure— about water. Studies now being con- ducted by H. Mitchell Perry Jr., Barnes associate physician, indicate that hard water may be a factor in helping pre- vent cardiovascular disease. At the pres- ent time, Dr. Perry is using well water from St. Charles county for an experiment with rats in an attempt to find out why people who live in "hard water" areas have a lower incidence of stroke and heart disease.

The U.S. can be divided into "hard water" and "soft water" states, accord- ing to U.S. Geological Survey water supply papers. Missouri is classified as a hard water state. However, Donald Hoven, chief chemical engineer for the City of St. Louis water division, says the St. Louis area has only "moderately hard" water.

"In a very general way, you could say that areas served by wells have hard water, those using river water have moderately hard, and lake waters, soft," he said. St. Louis city and county water officials both placed their purified pro- duct at seven on the hardness scale. Zero to five is considered soft, five to ten moderate, and ten and above, hard.

"The Missouri River is an excellent source of water/' "At present, there is no proof that links any mineral with any cardiovascular disease, but several such relationships have been postulated," said Dr. Perry. "There is an apparently real, but cur- rently unexplained, excess of cardio- vascular disease in soft water regions."

A map in one of Dr. Perry's papers shows hard water and soft water states. With

the exception of Florida, which is con- sidered a hard water state, all the states from the Eastern seaboard to the west Pennsylvania border, dropping down to West Virginia and across Kentucky to Arkansas and down to Louisiana, are soft water states. The rest of the coun- try is considered hard water area, except for the states of Washington and Oregon, considered soft water states.

Beneficial effects of hard water were discussed by Dr. Henry A. Schroeder, director of Dartmouth College Medical School's Trace Element Laboratory, in studies published in 1960. Dr. Schroeder showed that there was a high inverse correlation between high

calcium content in water and heart disease.

Then, a study done by Drs. M. D. Crawford, M. J. Gardner, and P. A. Segewick, (reported in Lancet), said, "In the large county boroughs of England and Wales the softer the drink- ing water and the less calcium it con- tains, the higher the infant death rate.

A multiple regression study demon- strates that, after the well known asso- ciations of infant mortality with social factors and latitude have been allowed for, water calcium is an important factor in explaining the difference between infant death rates, but not stillbirth rates."

These researchers conclude, "Of the various components of water hardness, calcium is the most closely associated with infant mortality."

And, if this were not enough bad news for housewives who want soft water in which to wash their hair and clothes, another bizarre relationship was dis- covered by William Lyster, research officer for the Department of Primary Industry in Canberra, Australia. He

studied an area in England, Merseyside, where the River Dee was diverted in 1958. Formerly served by soft water, the water supply became "hard" when the river flowed through an old mining territory with a high mineral content.

The normal sex ratio for births in England is 105.5 males born for every 100 females. In the town of Wallasey, a part of the Merseyside Conurbation, there was a significant increase in the number of males born a year after residents began drinking the hard water. "Hard water has a definite effect on the sex ratio of births," Lyster con- cluded. "Soft water evidentally kills the male fetus in the womb resulting

in more females being born; hard water changes the birth ratio of sexes because more male fetuses survive and are born," he said.

"There is an... excess of cardiovascular disease in soft water regions." Dr. Perry and his research associate, Mrs. Margaret Erlanger, have found that cadmium, a trace element more prevalent in soft water, seems to in- crease the incident of hypertension in rats. "Soft water generally has a high cadmium content because it has a con- siderably greater ability than hard water to leach this widely distributed metal from the many things with which it comes in contact," they reported.

There is, of course, a wide body of opin- ion that holds that drinking distilled water is helpful, and many persons feel that intake of only perfectly pure water will prevent heart disease and glaucoma.

One thing is sure, drinking of con- taminated water is harmful. Typhoid fever was once widely spread by con- taminated drinking water, but with more widespread careful purification, it

is not very prevalent any nore, although one epidemic was reported this year in Yakima, Wash., when : ,vage from the house of a typhoid rrier infected neighboring wells.

The New York Times reported this spring that conditions in the nation's water supplies are "deplorable." Accord- ing to the newspaper, over 46,000 ill- nesses and 20 deaths in the last decade have been officially recorded as due to drinking unpure water. There are only 15 states which even purport to adhere precisely to the U.S. public health serv- ice's drinking water standards.

St. Louis city water comes mainly from the Missouri, even though one of the purification plants—Chain of Rocks—is located below the confluence of the Missouri and the Mississippi. Mr. Hoven says that the water still runs separately at that point and the intakes get mostly Missouri river water. "On a clear day from the air, you can still distinguish the characteristic colors of the water at Chain of Rocks. The Missouri River water is darker."

In a hospital there are many medical uses for water, usually in a highly purified form such as this distilled water. Such water is free of impurities of any kind.

Kids like water, too, especially in the summertime when drinking it and playing in it can often be combined, as Charles Jimerson is doing. He is the son of Mrs. Ethel Jimerson, housekeeping.

Though it may not taste like Lafite Rothchild '55 when poured into a goblet, St. Louis has water that is considered by experts to be "Clear, odorless and tasteful, a high quality drinking water."

And if it leaves a ring in the bathtub, that's all right too, because the calcium and other minerals combining with dirt to form this curd are the same ones that may prevent a heart attack or protect an infant's life.

A Burn Unit Patient Meets Rescuer Here "I just don't know what to say to you. Anything I would say wouldn't be enough, and it couldn't express the gratitude I feel for what you did for me," said Eddie Carroll, a patient in Barnes' burn unit until recently.

His words were addressed to his visitor, an 18-year-old youth who, despite his 6' 2" height, stood modestly beside his mother, hardly acting like a hero.

But to Mr. Carroll, the young man, Stephen Smith, is very much a hero. On May 23, Mr. Carroll, a sign com- pany employe, had mounted an exten- sion ladder to repair a sign at a res- taurant and motel near Chain of Rocks Road, at Granite City. The sign's hinge broke loose, and either touched or came very close to wires carrying 34,000 volts of electricity. The current jumped to the ladder, knocking Mr. Carroll's part- ner, who was coming up the ladder, to the ground. He died five hours later of burns and internal injuries.

The current set Mr. Carroll's clothing on fire, and paralysed his upper body. He could not move from the ladder he was straddling. He screamed "I am on fire. Someone put it out."

On the ground below, mowing the grass, was Stephen Smith, who works part time doing maintenance jobs for the owner of the motel and restaurant. Without any consideration of his own safety, young Smith immediately climb- ed the 40 feet to the place where Mr. Carroll was frozen to the ladder. "His

clothes were smoking, and I pulled them away, I could see they were on fire," he said. "I had grabbed a piece of cloth from the truck before I went up to extinguish the flames."

Stephen has taught first aid to younger Boy Scouts at Camp Sunnen in Potosi, Mo., so he knew what to do. He is an assistant scoutmaster, and holds the Order of the Arrow, an honorary organ- ization for Boy Scout Leaders of merit.

For 45 minutes or perhaps even longer, Stephen stayed with Mr. Carroll. There was danger that any movement would cause the ladder to touch the wire again and send a second flow of current through the two men. Firemen from Mitchell and Granite City fire depart- ments obtained a snorkel truck from Union Electric to remove the injured man and his rescuer, but this took a great deal of time.

"I tried to keep him calm," said Stephen. "I was afraid he'd lapse into uncon- sciousness."

"I don't remember any pain at all, then," said Mr. Carroll. "I felt para- lysed from the waist up. I thought they could use the boom on the sign truck to get me off the ladder, but evidentally they didn't think it was clear of the wires and so they waited for the Union Electric truck."

When Stephen and Mr. Carroll met again recently at Barnes, there were many emotionally-charged moments when the older man, father of six chil- dren himself, tried to express his grat- itude to the youth. "This is one terrific boy," said Mr. Carroll. "His parents certainly can be proud of him."

Mr. Carroll's deep burns covered 50 per cent of his body, with the most serious on his chest and left arm. His hospitalization will extend possibly as long as four or five months. However, Barnes' staff expects him to gain full use of his arm again and return to a completely normal life. "He's an athletic man who enjoys tennis, bowling, and other sports, and that will encourage him to use his arm and return to full capacity," said Mrs. Jane Worthington, burn unit head nurse.

Stephen Smith, who graduated from Granite City High School in May, will work for awhile and later hopes to enter college. His parents and little brother are very proud of him. "When he was a baby, we lived in an upstairs apart- ment and he fell through a screen and almost dropped two stories," said his father, Bennie Smith. "We caught him by his diapers. Now he's had another close call. That's enough for one life- time."

Medical Center Logo The Washington University Medical Center has recendy adopted a symbol (logo) to serve as a trademark or identi- fication mark for use by the institutions which compose it. The logo consists of the four stylized letters of the WUMC abbreviation.

Washington University

Medical Center The new Washington University Medical Center logo.

The logo was designed by Larry Pfisterer, who is doing graduate work in graphic design at Washington Univer- sity. In designing the new symbol, Mr. Pfisterer was striving for an easily identifiable logo, but also one that would reflect the concept of the medical center, the coming together of several institu- tions. In addition, the logo was designed to communicate a feeling of precision and elegance.

The logo is intended to be used in conjunction with each member institu- tion's logo, or independently when appropriate, on buildings, stationary, publications and signs, in order to identify them as a part of the Washington University Medical Center.
