Reference excerpt

Will Rogers Memorial Hospital is a historic tuberculosis sanatorium located at Saranac Lake in Essex County, New York. It was built in 1928 as the National Vaudeville lodge by the National Vaudeville Artists Association, who previously sent patients to the Kennedy Cottage. It is a three-story, T-shaped, steel frame and reinforced concrete structure above a raised basement. It is faced in stucco and decorative half-timber framing in the Tudor Revival style. It features asymmetrical massing, a three-story polygonal tower with a hexagonal roof, and three story pavilions with recessed sleeping porches. It was named in honor of entertainer Will Rogers (1879-1935) in 1936 and provided unconventional tubercular treatment to entertainment industry patients from 1936 to 1975. New York State demanded upgrades in the building, which would have cost over a million dollars. The Will Rogers Institute decided it was cheaper to buy a building downstate, out of the Adirondack Park, than to update the existing building. Over 100 jobs were lost because of New York State's demand. It also was open as a night club but when casinos were voted down in New York, it was closed. Then it was open as an apartment house. It stood abandoned for years slowly deteriorating. It was briefly used as press headquarters for the 1980 Winter Olympics. Finally it was bought and after a huge renovation was done both to the outside and inside, it currently houses an independent living facility known as Saranac Village at Will Rogers. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Will Rogers Memorial Hospital

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Will Rogers Memorial Hospital claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Will Rogers Memorial Hospital before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Will Rogers Memorial Hospital ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Will Rogers Memorial Hospital

In research: Will Rogers Memorial Hospital appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Will Rogers Memorial Hospital in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Will Rogers Memorial Hospital is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Buildings and structures completed in 1928, Buildings and structures in Essex County, New York, Essex County, New York Registered Historic Place stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Will Rogers Memorial Hospital outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
