670 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [June 22 PROFESSIONAL WORK EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENT FOR DOCTOR'S DEGREES IN PSYCHOLOGY AND EDUCATION (7) The University Senate has approved for presentation to the Board of Trustees a recommendation from the College of Education, the Department of Psychology, and the Graduate College that candidates for the degrees of Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology or in Education, or for the degree of Doctor of Education, who are preparing to become public school psychologists and are following the approved program for such graduate training, shall be required to complete a twelve-month period of professional work experience (internship) under the direction of the Joint Committee on School Psychology and under conditions specified by the Senate. A committee of the College of Education and the Department of Psychology has outlined options suitable for school psychologists under these three degrees and proposes that a year of practical work experience, similar to that now required of candidates for advanced degrees in clinical psychology, be made a specific requirement. I concur. On motion of Mr. Johnston, this recommendation was approved. FOUR-YEAR PROGRAM IN NURSING (8) T h e University Senate has approved, in principle, for presentation to the Board of Trustees a recommendation from the School of Nursing for a fouryear curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing. This program will consist of one year of studies in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (in Urbana or at Navy Pier) followed by eleven quarters (three academic years plus two summer quarters) in the School of Nursing on the campus of the Chicago Professional Colleges. All instruction in nursing under this program would be given by regular members of the University of Illinois nursing faculty. Courses in related areas (biological sciences, physical sciences, social sciences) would be given by members of the faculty of the appropriate departments of the University of Illinois and subject to appropriate departmental approval. It is recommended that admission to the first year of the program (prenursing) begin September, 1953. T h e existing approval for the two years of prenursing under the Affiliation Program for Hospital Schools of Nursing would cover admission to this new program pending approval of new requirements. I concur. On motion of Mrs. Holt, this recommendation was approved. HARRY G. AND HARRIETTE A. WRIGHT SCHOLARSHIPS (9) The regulations governing the award of scholarships under the H a r r y G. and Harriette A. Wright endowment included a provision that the value of undergraduate scholarships shall be $400 a year plus an amount sufficient to cover University fees. The Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships which administers the awards of all University undergraduate scholarships established by private gifts recommends that this provision in the regulations be amended to authorize the granting of half scholarships of $200 a year plus University fees from the Wright endowment. I concur. On motion of Mr. Megran, these regulations were amended as recommended.

Renewals of the lease have been approved through June 3°> 1953.
