After receiving his Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy in 1926, he earned his Masters Degree in 1928 at the University of Colorado. He receiv- ed his Ph.D. at Iowa State University in 1939. The College of Nursing was estab- lished in 1957 as a separate unit of the University, offering a pre-service pro- fessional nursing program in its edu- cational system. It promotes three aims for students: first, to become profes- sional practitioners of nursing, second, to enrich personal lives, and third, to prepare for effective citizenship. This College is headed by Amelia Leino, who received her Nursing Di- ploma at the Cook County School of Nursing in 1934, her Bachelor of Sci- ence Degree at Columbia University in 1948, and her Masters Degree in 1955 at the same institution.

THE CAMPUS Old Main was called one of the finest University buildings in America when it was constructed in 1887 for 50,000 dollars. After an extensive improvement and expansion program started in 1948, this venerable building is now used for offices of ad- ministration. When students arrived for the 62 ' fall semester, they were intro- duced to the new sight of Crane- Hill Hall, the recently completed men ' s dorm. This beautiful build- ing is a part of the University ' s extensive construction program which has unveiled the appearan- ce of the Nursing College, the Commerce and Industry Building, and Ross Hall, the new women ' s dorm. This year a record number of students began the 1962-1963 school year by picking up class cards in the old Half Acre Gymna- sium. That ' s where the old gave way to the new. New students; a record number. A new registra- tion system; it works. And new buildings. They rank UWs physi- cal plant among the most beauti- ful and most complete in the na- tion.
