"In accordance with action of the ISxecutive Committee at its meeting on July 30, 1953, the President presented to the Trustees a recommendation voted by th ical and Dental Staff at its meeting on June 1
This recommendation was that the Trustees give consideration to
the establishment of a three-year hospital operated school of nursing in
preference to the addition of fifth and sixth floors. Dr. DeBauer was
at .cuss the recommendation and to present the feelings of the

still more nurses obviously would be required to staff two additional floors
to the Hospital. He stated that while the Staff was not opposed to the
present two-year school at Woman's College it did not feel that this school
could meet the nursing needs of the Hospital now cr in the future. He re
called to the True A the
Greensboro Academy of Medicine in 1952, prior to the Hospital's opening,
that the Hospital establish its own three-year school of nursing, and he
stated that this was still the feeling of the doctors as to what the Hospital

representatives of the Staff and the Chairman of the Trustees' Nursi:
Committee, . . IcDuffie, the doctors felt that now was perhaps not the
proper time to push the development of a three-year hospital school in
view of the Hospital's obligation and commitment to the two-year experimental school at Woman's College through 1961. He felt that any action
to this effect at this time might adversely affect the two-year school at
