Interviewee: Harry W. McFadden, Jr., M.D., Interim Chancellor of the University of
Nebraska Medical Center (1972, 1976-1977)
Interviewer: Robert S. Wigton, M.D.
Date:
November 30, 2004
McFadden: Cecil had a number of people in the Medical Center, primarily faculty
members, who he took into his confidence and he would come into
your office periodically and sit down and talk about Navy medicine for
a while and then say, ‘Harry,’ or John or whomever, ‘what do you
think about this possibility?’ And he would go on and talk about a
vision for something, some activity or building or what have you,
about the College of Medicine and the new evolving Medical Center.
And, sometimes they were off the wall and you’d simply say, ‘Cecil,
that’s way out of it.’ And, he usually took your word, but other times
you’d think, ‘Well, that’s a pretty good idea.’ And, he might get a
few opinions of that sort, then he would fly with that vision and
seemingly it got done and was accomplished and happened. As a
result of that, I think he evolved and became the first Chancellor of
the Medical Center. Before his time, though, it was in a period of
evolution of growing differences. It wasn’t just a University of
Nebraska Hospital and a Medical Center, it became the College of
Nursing and the College of Pharmacy, and the Dental Center became
involved although located at Lincoln, and so the position as Chancellor
sort of evolved. Cecil, I think, earned the designation of the first
Chancellor of the Medical Center.
