Dr. Rogoff, who announced the gift at the University’s annual commencement banquet, said that the $1, 000, 000 would be contributed through the Rogoff Foundation, of which he is president, Dr. Rogoff is a pioneer in modern medicine and is the author of more than 175 major articles on original research in experimental medicine, notably in endocrinology, physiology and pathology.
