The appointment involved a tenured Harvard professorship as well as the directorship of the Deaconess Lab, so I was examined by a medical school committee, too. Frankly, I don't think there was much competition for the job; there were not many who were qualified in medicine and biology, and who wanted to work for a "non-clinical" salary. BERGE.

I now believe that he had hoped for a tight connection to his Institute. But I had madeit clear to him - and everybodyelse - that I hoped to make the lab a medical schoolfacility and to establish a conjoint center for radiation therapy to which it would be attached. Myacceptance involved drawing up anotherset of plans, moving the lab to a central location in the Longwood Avenuearea of the School, and including in it facilities for research controlled by diagnosis, therapy, and nuclear medicine as well as radiobiology. Warren's son-in-law told me subsequently that Warren hated me. I can see why.
