Biographical Note
Construction of the University of Arizona College of Medicine Basic Sciences Building began
in April 1966. The first class of medical students started classes on September 11, 1967 and
the Basic Sciences Building dedication took place on November 17, 1967. The second phase of
construction – the Clinical Sciences Building and Teaching Hospital – started in July 1968.
The University of Arizona College on Nursing, which had welcomed its first class in
September 1957, held the dedication of its new building on October 18, 1968. The Polo

World War II there had been a university ROTC cavalry and college polo had been played on
the grounds.
