title: The University of Minnesota School of Nursing: a generation ahead.
abstract: In the first decade of the twentieth century, a unique experiment in education was begun, fostered, and brought through all the trials of disbelief and indifference to a high level of success. The School of Nursing at the University of Minnesota was the first training center of its kind to be sponsored, anywhere in the world, by an institution of higher learning (Board of Regents, 1908).
