YALE UNIVERSITY
NEW HAVEN CONNECTICUT

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

April 20, 1923.

Miss A. W. Goodrich,
99 Park avenue,
New York City.

Dear Miss Goodrich:-

As you know, Yale has decided to establish a University School of Nursing. With the essentials of the program, you are familiar, as I know you have seen the tentative plan submitted by the University to the Rockefeller Foundation. You are also reasonably familiar with the local situation here, so that I need not dwell upon that phase of the matter.

Our first step must be to secure a Dean of the new School who will take charge of the organization of the educational work and I am writing to say that, if you are able to accept the position, I shall nominate you to the Yale Corporation for appointment as Dean of the Yale School of Nursing, at a salary of $5500. per year, from October 1st, 1923.

Trusting that I may have your prompt acceptance of this proposal and with assurances of my deep interest in the successful launching of this important work, I am,

Yours very truly,
