Check Out the New Nursing Basketball Trophy Display at Scott Library

Next time you’re on the 3rd floor of Scott Library, stop by our newest display case. The case highlights a fun part of Jefferson’s past that many may not know about: the College of Nursing’s basketball team! The display case showcases a collection of championship trophies from the Jefferson School (later College) of Nursing’s basketball team; all preserved in the Siegman Archives.Jefferson’s nursing students once had a powerhouse basketball team. Formed in 1947, the team quickly found success. Margaret Cossman (Class of 1947) helped organize the group, with Helen Baxter as coach and Elinor Duke (Class of 1948) as captain. By 1948, they topped the Nurses’ Basketball League, and in 1949, they won their first championship. Over the next 30 years, the team kept winning! They won league championships in 1967, 1968, 1972, 1973, 1978, 1979, and 1980. Basketball became one of the most popular student activities at Jefferson until the School of Nursing closed in 1982. Looking through the case, you’ll notice several American Legion trophies inscribed with “Helen Fairchild Nurses’ Post.” Helen Fairchild was an American nurse who served at Base Hospital #10 in France during WWI after graduating from the Pennsylvania Hospital School of Nursing. Fellow Base Hospital #10 nurses later named this post in her honor.Whether you’re passing through or taking a study break, take a moment to explore this piece of Jefferson history. It’s a great reminder of the success and legacy that Jefferson nurses have brought to campus for generations.If you want to learn more, explore the Siegman Archives. ...
