President for Health Sciences
Kenneth R. Crispell called the
venture "a beautiful example
of what can be accomplished
with cooperation between
state, federal, and private
sources." He cited
contributions of more than
$581,000 from alumni, friends
of the University and other
local sources. This money,
coupled with a state
appropriation of nearly $1
million, made it possible to go
to the federal agencies to
request the additional funds,
he said.
