Nurses Served All Ages A student nunc learned the proper way to measure an infant. The School of Nursing, founded in 1965, graduated its first class this year. Since Wisconsin State Univcrsity-Eau Claire was the first state university to offer a baccalauratc nursing program, it has served one-third to one-half of Wisconsin with both a program of study for students and trained nurses for the community. Miss Marguerite Coffman, dean of the school, was assisted by seventeen faculty members this year, who used the Crest Commons facilities for offices and classrooms. Luther and Sacred Heart hospitals. Mount Washington Nursing Home, and the City-County Health department provided laboratory experiences for the one hundred forty nine students. One hundred thirty-six credits were needed to obtain a degree. The new School of Nursing should be completed by the spring of 1969 on lower campus. Four seminar rooms, three lecture rooms, one laboratory, and a student reference room will be contained in the building. It will cost close to one million dollars. This little listener looked sadly into space. 61
