AND FRIEND! As its first President, Car- lyle Jacobsen was the guiding c -. , .- use-,. -,,,.encA. are light in building the Upstate t V Medical Center as we know it today. He was Executive WN X X Dean for Medical Education i,'?5ltfQ i . ' j I v in the S.U.N.Y. Central Of- fice during the planning and construction of the first ad- ditions to the Basic Science Building Know renamed Weis- kotten Halll. He came to Syracuse in 1957 at a time when the Center was begin- ning its rapid growth phase. This involved the acquisition of urban land for a 25 acre campus, the ,building of the University Hospital and Dormitories, and the planning of the Campus Activities Building. In addition, there was a continual expansion of faculty, students, staff, and educational programs. Jake had a special fondness for planning new buildings, and the University Hospital represented a real challenge. The objective was clear: i. e., incorporate within this ?tfUCU'f?.Fl'e Physica' fll facll' sgs 'CARLYLE JACOBSEN, PH:D. C1902-19741 ities for inpatient and out- patient medical care, ,offices . . PRESIDENT. EMERITUS and laboratories for the clin- ical faculty, and vsuitable UPSTATE.MEDlC.AL CENTER teaching areas for medical students. and house staff. Furthermore, arrange the facilities for a smooth flow of patients, staff, and students for the maximum convenience of each and the least interference with each other. And furthermore, do it all within a relatively limited budget. Subsequent use of the hospital has demonstrated how well the planning was done, and the hospital stands as a con- tinuing memorial to Jake . For those of us who were privileged to know and work with him, his greatest monument is not a building but the memory of the man himself. He was intelligent, sensitive, dedicated, pa- tient, and he had the additional quality needed most by administrators the ability to live with frustration . lt's the personal loss that many of us feel the most.
