James H. Quillen College of Medicine Records

The bulk of the College of Medicine Records concerns the campaign to establish a freestanding medical school in Johnson City, TN in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The collection consists of newspaper clippings, reports commissioned by East Tennessee State University and others concerning the establishment of a second state funded medical school, correspondence, photographs, blueprints and all related to the establishment of the Quillen College of Medicine. Former ETSU President, D.P. Culp, attempted to write a history of the College of Medicine and his notes and drafts make up the first series of the collection. The photographs and blueprints relate mainly to the V.A. campus at Mountain Home. There is also a CD Rom made for the thirtieth anniversary of the Quillen College of Medicine. There are also a number of reports and documents created by the College of Medicine, including faculty by-laws and institutional policies.
