1912 - Frederick T. Gates of the Rockefeller Foundation asked Flexner (Carnegie Foundation), what would you do with $1million.
As reported by Fosdick (RF. Search mind map) “The bluntness was characteristic of Mr Gates, but the question the million dollars was hardly in accord with his usual in-direct and cautious approach to the spending of money. Flexner’s reply, however, to the effect that any funds - a million dollars or otherwise - could most profitably be spent in developing the John Hopkins Medical School, struck a responsive chord in Gates who was already a close friend and devoted admirer of Dr William H. Welch [S&B 1870], the dean of the institution.
