One of Nightingale's missions was to force the British
army to maintain field hospitals and supply nursing and
medical care to soldiers in the field. To support her
position, she plowed through piles of data from the army
files. The she appeared before a royal commission with a
remarkable series of graphs. In them, she showed how most
of the deaths in the British army during the Crimean War
were due to illnesses contracted outside of the battle,
or that occured long after action as a result of wounds
suffered in battle but left unattended. She invented the
pie chart as a means of displaying her message.

When she tried of fighting the obtuse, seemingly ignorant
army genrals, she would retreat to the village of Ivngton,
where she would always be welcomed by her friends, the
Davids. When the young David couple had a daughter, they
named her Florence Nightingale David. Some of Florence
Nightingale's feistiness and pioneering spirit seem to
have transferred to her namesake. ...

What could she do with all that mathematics when she
graduated? She wanted to become an actuary, but the
actuarial firms would take only men. Someone suggested
that she see a fellow named Karl Pearson at University
College who, her informant had heard, had something to do
with actuaries or something like that. She walked over
to University College and ``I crashed my way in to see
Karl Pearson.'' He took a liking to her and got her a
scholorship to continue her studies as his research
student.
