Embrace Innovation Over Tradition
The successful philanthropic approach at Rockefeller University contrasted sharply with traditional models, exemplified by the University of Chicago's high-overhead projects. Instead of creating an impressive campus and making a grand entrance, Rockefeller University adopted a leaner, more innovative model focused on assembling top talent. By empowering exceptional individuals to explore their interests without rigid structure, they prioritized results over formalities. The recruitment of Simon Flexner, a physician with a unique background, illustrates this shift towards a more experimental and transformative approach to medicine, challenging outdated practices and laying the groundwork for progress in healthcare.
