摘要:This one quotation from Alan Gregg's writings reveals his conception of libraries and their value to the medical profession. Great medicine, as he used the term (2), included the teaching, practice, and research of medicine in all its roots and branches. His active participation in great medicine was felt in the medical library field through not only the financial grants which he, as the director of the medical education program of the Rockefeller Foundation (1930- 1951), helped to obtain, but also the influence of his own rich personality.
