Wednesday, February 6 at 7pm Main Building Faculty Lounge, UPEI We have two speakers for the evening: Dr. Lisa Chilton and Genevieve MacDonald will give us complementary visions of nineteenth-century Canadian health care. All are welcome, and the descriptions of the talks are below. For more information, contact Shannon Murray at smurray@upei.ca or 566-0404. __________ "Sex Scandals, Sectarianism, and Skulduggery on the Ward: Hospital Life in Mid-Nineteenth-Century Quebec City" Lisa Chilton In the middle of the nineteenth century, the Quebec Marine and Emigrant Hospital was considered one of the most desirable medical institutions for doctors' affiliation in the British Empire. Aspiring doctors from across North America fought to gain poorly paid and voluntary positions at the the Marine and Emigrant Hospital, because it provided unique opportunities for medical/surgical practice and observation, and because it boasted the educational leadership of some of the continent's most innovative and skilled practitioners. But, the Marine and Emigrant Hospital was not known solely for its impressive staff and (sometimes) impressive medical record. It was a poorly managed, inadequately funded institution, situated within a socially volatile colonial context. Relationships among the hospital's medical staff and members of the larger community of Quebec's doctors were often tense and at times openly antagonistic, with the result that between the mid-1840s and the mid-1850s the hospital became the focus of a series of very public scandals, involving malpractice suits, large-scale graft, coerced death-bed conversions, and sexually explicit slander and counter-slander details of which were recorded in hundreds of pages of witness statements, commissioners' reports, privately published open letters and memoirs, and newspaper accounts. In this paper, I offer a brief tour of the Marine and Emigrant Hospital and the social world its inhabitants constructed within it, as seen through the various documents they left behind. “Shun Not the Struggle: Cecily Jane Georgiana Fane Pope, 1862-1938" Genevieve MacDonald Prince Edward Islander Georgiana Pope is deserving of continued recognition for her significant contributions to the practice of nursing, which include her founding of military nursing in Canada, her establishment of a school of nursing in Washington, and her pioneering (along with Mary Rogers) of the practice of what is now called “affiliation” for student nurses. Born in 1862, Georgiana Pope was the first nurse in Canada to receive the Royal Red Cross, awarded for “special devotion and competency in ... nursing duties.” Matron Georgiana Fane Pope devoted her life to the service of others. Of her 34 years as a graduate nurse, she devoted 13 to civilian nursing and the other 21 years to military nursing. While a civilian nurse, she was a leader both in the supervision of nurses in hospital and in the teaching and direction of nursing students. She was responsible for achieving military rank and pay for nurses in Canada, which became the first country in the world to grant rank to women.

A transition date of Monday, February 4 has been set for phasing out the Canadian penny after which the Royal Canadian Mint will no longer distribute pennies. On this date, businesses will be encouraged to begin rounding cash transactions. Please note that the cent will remain Canada's smallest unit for pricing goods and services and that the phasing out of the penny will have no impact whatsoever on payments made by cheque or electronic transactions. 1. The penny is not suddenly going to disappear. Pennies can still be received and given as change if they are in the cash drawer. However, with a gradual withdrawal from circulation, price rounding on cash transactions will ultimately be required. 2. Point-of-sale systems and cash registers do not need to be updated. Given that all non-cash payments will not be rounded, no system changes will be required. 3. Rounding of cash payments. When pennies are not available, cash transactions should be rounded to the nearest five-cent increment in a fair and transparent manner. Rounding should only be used on the final bill of sale after all taxes are applied. If the final bill ends in a 1, 2, 6 or 7, it should be rounded down; when the final bill ends in a 3, 4, 8 or 9, it should be rounded up. This is a manual calculation done by the person accepting payment. 4. Reconciling small differences. If you have rounded a cash transaction during the day, your cash reconciliation will most likely be out of balance although the discrepancy is expected to be small. This will be handled with an adjusting entry in the same way you would currently manage a small cash outage. In this case, however, you are to use new class code 777 - Penny Rounding. If you have any questions, please contact me at 566-0590 or Deidre Smith at 566-0470.
