Freedmen's Hospital Nurses Alumni Club of Philadelphia. Freedmen's Hospital Nurses Alumni Club of Philadelphia records, 1973-1986. 0.1 Linear feet (5 folders).
Historical Sketch
Freedmen's Hospital was established in 1865 as the Freedmen's Bureau for the "relief of freed men and refugees" by the War
Department of the United States. This was due in part to the many freed slaves who migrated to Washington, D.C. following
the Civil War. Four years after the hospital's founding, they relocated to the campus of Howard University. The School of
Nursing was founded in 1894 as an eighteen-month program which was later expanded two years. In 1909, the length of study
was increased to three years. In the early twentieth century, the school affiliated with a number of institutions in the Washington
area in addition to Howard, such as the Gallanger Municipal Hospital and the D.C. General Hospital. The hospital phased out
the school and graduated its last class in 1973. Howard University opened their baccalaureate school of nursing the following
year to replace Freedmen's. Over Freedmen's 79-year period, it graduated 1,700 nurses.
The Freedmen's Hospital Nurses Alumni Clubs, based in Washington, D.C., coordinates local clubs around the country. The Freedmen's
Hospital Nurses Alumni Club of Philadelphia, founded in 1966, was established to promote goodwill among its graduates, to
participate in the community health and cultural and educational programs, and to support the scholarship fund of the Freedmen's
(and later) the Howard University Federation.

Fondes, Tabitha Parker, 1912-1996 . Tabitha Fondes papers. 0.4 Linear feet (12 folders).
Biographical/Historical note
Tabitha Parker Fondes was born in Parsonsburg, Maryland. She helped her widowed mother raise four siblings until the age of
23 when she learned about a career in nursing. This information was carried in a newspaper ad – a call for student nurses
at the Mercer Hospital in Trenton, New Jersey – that was blowing across a field she was hoeing. Thus began her 50-year career
in nursing. Initially, she was involved in private duty nursing.
She met her husband, James Peter Fondes, while in Philadelphia for a nursing convention after World War I. They raised three
children during the Depression. After World War II, her son Alex brought home an Army buddy, William Marchant, who became
integrated into the family. A writer for the theater, he is responsible for many successful plays and screen plays. In 1975,
he dedicated his biography of Noel Coward, “The Privilege of his Company” to Tabitha Parker Fondes.
She spent time with her son Alex, a theatrical researcher, and became a motherly figure to prominent American actors such
as Anthony Franciosa, Ben Gazzara, Shelly Winters, Elaine Stritch, and Maureen Stapleton. While living in England her son
became friends with Sir Michael Redgrave and his family as well as members of the Queens household. When Tabitha Fondes visited,
she had a meeting with the Queen Mother.
Another son, Robert Parker Fondes, is an avid historian and preservationist. He established the Robert Parker Fondes Endowment
in Nursing in her memory at Salisbury State University in Maryland. Her son states it was created in “celebration of a life
that took a farm girl from Parsonsburg to demanding motherhood in Philadelphia, to some of the most sophisticated and lively
circles in the world.” (Information from the “Alumni News” Vol. 11 No.1 Spring 1996, page 3.)
