COLLEGE O F NURSING

(15) The Vice-President in charge of the Chicago Professional Colleges recommends that the name of the School of Nursing be changed to the College of Nursing. In 1952 the Senate Committee on Educational Policy made a comprehensive report to the President of the University on nursing education at the University of Illinois and a number of recommendations, including a four-year curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing and the change in name. The Senate and Board approved the curriculum which began September, 1953. Action on the change in name has been withheld pending development of the educational program. In the meantime, the curriculum has been accredited by the National League for Nursing's Collegiate Board of Review. I recommend approval of the change in name. With this change all degreegranting units of the University will be named colleges. O n motion of M r s . W a t k i n s , this recommendation was approved.

That the President appoint a Faculty Honors Council to work with the Director of Honors Programs. 4. That beginning with the freshman class entering in September, 1959, or at such later date as he may fix if that seems necessary and desirable, the Director of Honors Programs shall, in advance of registration, select a
