Geddes Springgate Covert THE COURSE FOR THE TRAINING OF NURSES WING to the many demands made upon the nurse of today by both the physician 0 and the public, it is of eminent importance that she be well equipped tor the many fields of nursing in which we find her engaged. It demands a different type of training than that of ten or more years ago, when there were but two helds, private duty and institutional work. For that reason, the education of the nurse is placed in universities and colleges where the foundation of this training is laid. It consists of one year of academic work followed by two years and three months of further study, combined with practical work in the hospital. Since the University of North Dakota has no hospital in Which the student could complete her training, affiliation with institutions in various parts of the country has been arranged for. There is manifest advantage in this arrangement of this work, since it enables the student, through a year of extensive study to gain more complete knowledge of the tech- nical and cultural subjects than would be possible if a portion of her time were occupied with the mechanical work which enters so largely into the first year of an ordinary hos- pital training course. Moreover, this thorough technical preparation enables the candi- date to make more satisfactory use of the information gained when she enters upon her hospital service, than is possible with the fragmentary theoretical work offered in many hospitals. This academic course, preliminary to the hospital training of nurses, is one of only three of its character in the country, one at Columbia University in New York City, the other recently established at the University of Colorado. Upon the successful completion of the course of study specified in the curriculum, such students as show apitude for the work of nursing will be admitted to the hospitals aleiated with the University. At the end of two years and three months of thorough training in these hospitals, the successful student Will receive from the University of North Dakota, a diploma in nursing. This diploma will entitle the nurse to registration in all states, admit her to all nursing organizations, and serve as a guarantee of superior training wherever she may wish to engage in the work.

course, fully engaged during the regular sessions. The Summer Session, therefore, now consists of a College Section and an Elementary Section. In addition to the regular lines of work formerly offered in each, several new features are planned to satisfy a decided need. With North Dakotak proverbially cool summer weather, With the campus at its best, with interesting special features at hand, and many distractions of the regular Uni- versity year conspicuously absent, almost ideal conditions for earnest work are created, and the session of 1913 promises to be the most satisfactory thus far held. The University The fusing, centripetal force in the University is its weekly Convo- Convocalion cation. It is the University conscious of itself as a whole. To look upon Convocation as a mere adjunctea sort of fifth wheeleis cer- tainly a wrongr conception. The University, just as any higher organism, has a collective life, a communal consciousness, and Convocation should be a weekly or daily drawing upon this reservoir of combined strength. But for Convocation, the University would be aware of itself only in spots; by this periodic fusion into totality, the University becomes a selfhood,ea thinking organism, relating its parts to a whole, and thus leading a life of rationalized self-conscious activity. Because of the feeling of its cardinal importance, the hour in which it is to be held has been culled out from the sum total of the hours of the week with a view of maximum attendance by the student body and likewise of the most favorable conditions for blended interests and social contact. Feeling that generosity is here the wisest economy, the University of North Dakota annually sets aside a goodly fund for bringing to the University as Convocation speakers, such men as by reputation and commanding position, within the state and without, ensure by their coming the deliverance of a timely and needed message, whether relating to student life in particular, or to the larger life of the world in general. The mere mention of such names as Prof. Graham Taylor of the Chicago Commons; Dr. William Ellis Griffith of Itaca, New York; Dr. A. E. Winship of Boston; Prof. W. I. Thomas of Chicago University; Dr. Charles E. Bealls, Field Seccretary of the American Peace So- ciety; Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones of Lincoln Center; Professor Jastrow of Wisconsin Uni- versity,enames chosen almost at random from the list of eminent speakers, who have honored the University by their presence, and spoken inspiringly and instructively at Con- vocation, each one with a special message, bespeaks the range and significance of intellec- tual and moral stimulus afforded by the University through the medium of the weekly Convocation address. A special and perhaps unique feature of Convocation, at the University, is the so- called Between-Us-Dayf, Outwardly it consists of an address by the President, calling attention of faculty and students to the movement and trend of things in the University, to the opportunities for improvement or occasions for change in one respect or another. Considered more subjectively, it is the University collectively introspective. Already this holding of judgment day upon ourselves has been felt as wholesome and tonic, and continued in the same spirit of honest unHinching self-criticism must show its effects in in- stituional betterment and advance.
