An enormous number of people cared about this school. I’ve named some of
them. If I had been closer to my notes, I probably would have named more. But just
off the top of my head, that’s the quick and dirty story of the origin of this wonderful
medical school.
I want to say at the end of my remarks that when I look back on the … years
I spent as president of Florida State University, I’m pretty proud of a lot of things
that happened, but a couple of national football championships don’t come anywhere
close to the pride I feel in this medical school. This has just been a wonderful
place that continues to bring in committed faculty, and the quality of faculty
and students here, the quality of your graduates, just is amazing to me. •
