This Saturday,October 31, marks an considerable milestone in American public health: the 80th anniversary of President Franklin Roosevelt’s dedication of the campus of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, or MD. The President’s stirring speech,delivered from the steps of NIH’s brand-new Administration Building (now called Building 1), was much more than a ribbon-cutting ceremony. It gave voice to NIHs commitment to using the power of science “to accomplish infinitely more” for the health of all people with “no distinctions of race, and of creed,or of color.”
