The Henrietta Szold-Hadassah School of Nursing was dedicated here this afternoon at the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center. The 1,500,000 pound nursing school is one of the first of a series of buildings completed at the medical complex. It will train 150 student nurses.

At the dedication ceremony, a bust of the late Miss Szold was unveiled. Among the chief speakers at the ceremony were Ambassador Edward B. Lawson of the United States, Israel Health Minister Israel Barzilai and Hebrew University president Prof. Benjamin Mazar. Some 400 members of Hadassah, who are spending a month-long Hadassah pilgrimage in Israel, were also present.

Dr. Miriam Freund, Hadassah president, presented at the ceremony scrolls of honor to two of the original group of nurses to come to Jewish Palestine in 1918. They are Mrs, Madeline Lewin Epstein and Mrs Ray Malin-Cutler.
