School off Nursing school receives grants for grad students The School of Nursing has facilities on both the Denver and Boulder campuses. Freshman majors in nursing begin in Boulder, where their course loads includes pharmacy and chemistry; as sophomores, they move to the Medical Center at the Denver Division, to complete the three years of nurs- ing education and clinical experience required for the B.S. degree in nursing. Graduates of hospital schools of nursing spend two years on the Boulder campus with two summers at the Denver Division to complete the degree requirements for a bachelor ' s degree. This year, the School of Nursing received grants for grad- uate students preparing for leadership positions in adminis- tration, supervision, and education. Forty-nine of these grants were made available to CU through the re-enactment of a federal law in 1959. Henrietta Loughran Tender, laving care . 28

School of Pharmacy cu ' s school of pharmacy hosts three national pharmacy meetings. Change was the watchword of Dean Curtis H. Waldon ' s Pharmacy School during the year, as the School announced a number of innovations designed to offer the best caliber pharmaceutical training program possible. For the first time in history, the School of Pharmacy has professional staff members teaching all courses in all five disciplines in pharmacy. Another addition to the educational process was the innovation of a manufacturing laboratory for the production of drug products, for use at the Health Center, as well as for the training of potential pharmacists. The Apothecary operated by the School, designed to fill prescriptions for University students, moved into its new quarters in the Health Center. In line with the School ' s progressive program is the increased number of undergraduate scholarships available, and the School ' s announcement that this summer CU will be host to three national pharmacy meetings.
