TRAINING PROGRAM FOR NURSES (3) The Board of Directors of the Cook County School of Nursing requests an affiliation with the University of Illinois whereby a student may receive a diploma in nursing from the Cook County School of Nursing and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Illinois, provided the student has fulfilled the University's requirements for the degree. The University Senate recommends approval of a training program for nurses according to the following plan: 1. A two-year pre-professional curriculum in nurses training to be offered at Urbana-Champaign and at the Chicago Undergraduate Division (Navy P i e r ) . 2. The requirements for admission will be the same as those required for admission to the Cook County School of Nursing. 3. The curriculum of the Cook County School of Nursing will be accepted as fulfilling the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Any subsequent changes in this curriculum will be subject to approval by the University Senate and the Board of Trustees. I submit a memorandum prepared by the Vice-President in charge of the Chicago Professional Colleges in consultation with representatives of the Cook County School of Nursing, the Cook County Hospital, and the Cook County Board of Commissioners which presents the proposed plan of affiliation with the University of Illinois in detail (see Appendix, page 348). I recommend approval of this training program and plan of affiliation.

President Stoddard, Dr. Ivy, Provost Griffith, and Dr. Meyer commented on this program. On motion of Mr. Livingston, this training program and plan of affiliation were approved as recommended.

CONTRACT WITH ILLINOIS WATER SERVICE COMPANY (4) On April 10, 1948 (Minutes, page 1072), the Board of Trustees voted to contract with the Illinois Water Service Company for furnishing the entire water supply of the University at Urbana-Champaign. The conditions of such a contract will provide that the University shall pay rates approved by the Illinois Commerce Commission. The rate schedule which the Company submitted to the Commission at that time would have increased rates then in effect by approximately 50 per cent in the bracket applicable to maximum University consumption (over 300,000 cubic feet per quarter) for softened water but the rates subsequently approved by the Commission are based on iron free water only. The rate applicable to the quantity bracket of over 300,000 cubic feet per quarter was increased from six cents per 100 cubic feet per quarter to seven cents, or an increase of 16^3 per cent instead of from six to eight cents as requested by the Company. The comparative schedule of rates is:
