Description and Context
Lincoln Hospital established formal ties with North Carolina College for Negros in 1930. Faculty of the college taught the students psychology, psychiatry, chemistry, and bacteriology. The college library and gymnasium were available also to the Lincoln Hospital nursing students. The colse proximity of North Carolina College to Lincoln Hospital enabled the students to walk back and forth to class and the hospital and nurses home, were they ate their meals and often spent the evening studying. These close affiliations continued until the nursing school closed in 1971. They also enabled some students with additional course work to receive a bachelor of science in addition to their R.N.
