Description
This book chronicles the remarkable ascendancy of The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas during the last sixty years. Starting with the occupation of about 30,000 sq. feet of temporary Army barracks positioned on Oak Lawn Avenue, Dallas in 1943, the medical center is now probably the most premier academic biomedical institutions on the earth. It’s home to four Nobel Laureates and seventeen members of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. The book is based mostly on personal interviews with prominent faculty members in addition to Dallas philanthropists who have contributed to its luck, and is liberally illustrated.
