Abstract

La Source, founded in 1859 at Lausanne, was the first laic school for nurses in the world. Its spirit of education, however, was most conservative. This is borne out by two lecture note-books (1871, 1883) which the authoress compares with printed manuals. In a tradition, which may be traced back to the Enlightenment (Tissot), education at La Source aimed at the formation of efficient but docile nurses embellished by feminine virtues such as gentleness and compassion.
