000003234 520__ $$aLeonard Laster, former President of OHSU, and his wife Ruth Ann speak of their time here in this dual interview. Dr. Laster begins with his early life in New York City and his education. He entered Harvard at age 15 and took his M.D. there at 21. He spent years at the National Institutes of Health in research and was science advisor to the Nixon administration. He speaks of an exciting time before the arrival of for-profit medicine. He was Dean of Downstate Medical Center in New York before coming to Oregon with a vision of creating a center of excellence. He tells of funding challenges and of Senator Mark Hatfield's aid in the creation of the CROET and BICC. He mentions the importance of architecture to the self-image of an institution. It was under his tenure that the institution was renamed the Oregon Health Sciences University.

000003234 901__ $$aOral histories are considered historical materials. They are the personal recollections and opinions of the individuals involved and, therefore, may contain offensive language, ideas or negative stereotypes reflecting the culture or language of a person, period or place. Oral histories should not serve as the sole source of information about an institution or particular historical events. These narratives should in no way be interpreted as the official history of Oregon Health & Science University, nor do they necessarily represent the views of the institution.
