	Mrs. Leroy (Eleen) Harkins This scholarship was established by Mrs. Leroy (Eleen) Harkins in memory of her husband. Under the supervision of the area doctors, Mr. Harkins and his wife Eleen established the first clinical laboratory in the Upper Cumberland near the old City Hospital in Cookeville. This laboratory, although small, rendered invaluable service to the hospital and members of the medical profession in this area. The laboratory continued in service until the Cookeville General Hospital was opened on December 18, 1950. At that time, Mr. and Mrs. Harkins accepted the responsibility of supervising and operating the clinical laboratory in the new hospital. Mr. Harkins served in this capacity until his death in 1961.
