DEGREE OF B. S. IN NURSING

A proposal by the Department of Medicine to institute a program of study leading to the
degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing was approved. The School of Nursing will function under
the administrative direction of the Department of Medicine. A summary of the work to be offered
was prepared by Dr. V. W. Lippard, Dean of the Department of Medicine, and presented to the Board

"The first two years of the course will be offered at Mary Washington and other colleges
and 66 semester hours credit will be accepted by transfer. During the summer sessions after the
freshman and sophomore years, students enrolled in the program will attend six-week courses at
the School of Nursing, for which 10 semester hours credit will be given. They will enter the
School of Nursing at the beginning of the junior year for a period of two and one-half years,
minus eight week vacation, and during that period will receive clinical instruction in the Hospital
and sufficient classroom work for 48 semester hours credit. Total credits amount to 124 and practical
experience to 856 days."

The following appointments to the faculty were made, effective July 1, 1950. For the
present, these faculty members are to remain on the Hospital pay roll in their present pay classifications
