Keys to the Asylum is the gripping story of one man's struggle to establish a 4 year medical school on the Urbana-Champaign campus of the University of Illinois. It reveals the dynamic tension between Dean Bloomfield & a host of ambivalent, at best, bureaucratic keepers of the asylum; i.e. university presidents, vice-presidents & provosts; chancellors, vice-chancellors, deans & executive deans etc. Armed with a 1969 Board of Trustees resolution which called for the university to develop a 4 year school when circumstances permitted, he found more antipathy to a complete medical school on the university's flagship campus than he could have imagined. Overcoming each of the many obstacles & stumbling blocks generated by senior administrators & others who, for largely fiscal reasons opposed the project, makes fascinating reading. The book's well written pages are replete with high drama that makes it a page turner of "The Perils of Pauline" variety affirming once again truth to be stranger than fiction.

A must-read for administrators in general & medical education by an author who has been called "The General Robert E. Lee of medical education." "A perfect title for an incredible journey."
