title: An educated spirit.
abstract: Richard Olding Beard, founder of the University of Minnesota School of Nursing, was a passionate and eloquent champion of educating rather than simply training nurses and of the contributions professional nurses make to social justice by improving the health care of society. The issues he wrote and spoke about are the same issues raised in contemporary discussions of entry-level preparation for nursing.
