- Sparrow recalls being excited and intrigued by the teaching philosophy of the school, working with the MSU Veterinary School to perfect surgical techniques and sharing his diagnostic expertise with them, helping to create an open-heart surgery program for pediatrics, and the tensions between faculty and a "frugal administration".

- Ralph Gordon discusses his career as a physician, professor, researcher, and administrator, much of it spent in the Department of Pediatrics and Human Development at Michigan State University.
