Meharry to Graduate First kegraWomaii Anesthetist in History Nashville, Tenn., April 15th? Meharry Medical College for Negroes, now engaged in a nationwide drive toward endowment, has the commendable habit of being first in medical matters concern mg the race it trains. That 's because of its Grade A rating and the fact .that it is operating in a virgin field. Late next month the school will a gam lead the?Negro medical field when h graduates tfti' first' Negro" woman anesthetist in medical history, ? Catherine Carson Dan ridge. Dr. Edward L. Turner, Meharry president, declared this week: "If Miss Dandridge isn't the first Ne gro woman anesthetist in all med ical history, she is certainly the first we have ever heard of, or can discover anywhere in America." The Meharry official pointed out that in the past Negro hospitals and medical schools have been forced to rely on the services of white nurses as anetheticists. The most remarkable thing about Miss Dandridgefs forthcoming eradua tion, he_said, is the extent of the training she has received. "Top-ranking white medical ichools train their anestheticists not more than nine months," Dr Turner asserted. "Meharry's course is one full year of study and training." Before entering the last phase af her training at Meharry, Miss Dandridge completed a four-year registered nurse training course A native of Youngstown, Ohio, *he claims Newcastle, Pennsylvania, as her home, where she liv ed while attending high school After graduating she came to Meharry, in 1936, and was graduated in nursing in May of last year The^ pioneer Negro medical school which next month will give to the medical ^orld Hs first Ne gro woman enp&thetist is at pres ant erflgaged in?a nationwide ef fort to raise $1,?00,000 by July 1 if this year.
