Surrounded by relatively tall commercial buildings, the Connecticut Center must assert itself. Its image evokes the sciences; its geometries are reminiscent of great astronomical instruments, challenging our curiosity. Two nacelles, shaped as segments of two great toroids, are perched side by side atop a podium. The structure of the nacelles is made of laminated wood lattice - a diagrid - that rotates about their surface in an ordered and repetitive geometry. Uniting the nacelles is a great roof platform in the shape of the surface of a partial sphere - an inverted dome. The geometries of each part intersect to create a cohesive and ordered whole. The Connecticut Center is organized into six levels, the first of which is the entry at the street. The second level is a podium, which features three floors of parking as well as offices and the museum's back-of-the-house areas. The deck of the podium extends Hartford's series of piazza, which also connect to the river abutting the site - these are the city's upper platform. The third and fourth levels of the Center, within the nacelles, are an exhibition and theatre spaces; the fifth level, also within the nacelles, is the upper mezzanine; the top level is the sky garden.

Letter to Harvey Cushing from W.H. Morriss, The Gaylord Farm Sanatorium, Hartford, Connecticut, USA. Morriss compliments Cushing on his book, "Life of Sir William Osler." He entered the Johns Hopkins just after Osler left for Oxford. While with the Red Cross during the war, Morriss lunched with Osler at Oxford.

Letter to Harvey Cushing from Walter R.(?) Storer, 646, Asglum Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut, USA. Storer(?) compliments Cushing on his book, "Life of Sir William Osler." His own letters from Osler were so brief and fragmentary that they did not seem worth passing on to Cushing. He informs Cushing that, contrary to what appears on p. 592 of volume I, Mr. A.T. Huntington, a Kings County Medical Society librarian, did not die.
