Two new courses of study, both leading to the bachelor of science degree in nursing, will be estab-j lished this fall at Louisiana State university, Dean William Frye of! the school of medicine, announced Saturday.
The courses, to be offered through the department of nursing in addition to the present program, are a course of study preparing high school graduates for the nursing profession on a collegiate level and a course providing the graduate nurse with academic and professional education to supplement her previous nursing education.

Under this new academic and professional program students will study on the Baton Rouge campus during the first three semesters, first summer session and the last semester of the fourth year. During the intervening sessions they will be at the medical center in New Orleans for clinical practice in hospitals, public health agencies and nursing homes. ... Sister Henrietta Guyot, head of the department of nursing, said that the department will discontinue the program leading to the bachelor of science degree in nursing education in 1958. This program has been in operation since 1931.
