Between 1969 and 1976 Beatrice and Philip Kalisch completed a series of interviews for what would become a three volume report titled From Training to Education: The Impact of Federal Aid on Schools of Nursing in the United States during the 1940's (1974). Transcripts of interviews with men and women active in the field of nursing, specifically in an administrative position, during the 1940s including the Cadet Nurse Corps and associated programs under Lucile Petry Leone, the founding director of the Cadet Nurse Corps in 1943.

The Beatrice J. Kalisch Papers will be most useful for those interested in the administration of the Cadet Nurse Corps during the 1940s. The Cadet Nurse Corps was responsible for training nurses during the 1940s to help bridge the gap left by nurses sent to Europe. With the Cadet Nurse Corps also came a change in the perception of nursing to a respectable career for young women. The papers document the experiences of the nurse or person interviewed during the 1940s and interviews were conducted between 1969 and 1976.
