Charles C. Bassine, president of the board of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University, has contributed $2.5 million to the college for an expanded program of medical education, it was announced here today by Dr. Samuel Belkin, president of the university.
The gift, Dr. Belkin said, will enable the college to erect a 15-story building and to expand its enrollment of medical students by 25 percent. The new structure, he said, will include, in addition to classrooms and seminar facilities, also a series of electronically instrumented laboratories for teaching the biological sciences in a research setting. The building will also provide facilities for an expanded program of community health and a two-story computer center and Institute of Biomathematics.
