This collection contains files created by senior Mount Sinai leaders who participated in the creation of Mount Sinai School of Medicine, including various early papers. Of particular note is a booklet by Mount Sinai Trustee Leonard Block called "Let us NOT sponsor a Medical School" [in 1961 Correspondence file]. Also included here are some of the foundational studies for the school, founding documents and policy statements. There are also files about how to create publicity for the new school. One effort was a film with Milton Eisenhower, President of Johns Hopkins University and brother of Dwight D. Eisenhower, as the narrator. The film describes why Mount Sinai would be a good place for a medical school. Copies of the film, "The Mount Sinai Story," are included in the Archives Visual Material Collection (VM 059). Also, an oversize site and programming report is stored on Q 7.
