Modern communications advances should be of great assistance in our efforts to link medical centers, community hospitals of all sizes, and individual practicing physicians.” —Charles L. Crockett, Jr., Assistant Dean for Continuing Medical Education and Professor of Internal Medicine
  • "The plans for the medical library are progressing … It is difficult to plan a building that will be functional five years after completion. Our consultants tell us that the electronic age of communications is here and much of the space should be reserved for “electronic gadgetry.” —Dean of the School of Medicine , Kenneth R. Crispell
