HARRISON Dean of the Faculty SX The pleasure and thrill which have come to me from the opportunity of participating in the development of a new and growing institution in the Southwest has been tempered during these several months by disappoint- ment at my delay in getting into closer personal touch with the student body. However, many of the more pressing administrative problems are now behind us and it is with the keenest anticipation that I am looking forward to spend- ing more time with the students on the wards. That your training in medicine has been disturbed by the changes of the last year is unquestioned. However, such dislocations are a necessary con- sequence of growth cmd development. The first task of your faculty is to pro- duce for you a medical school of outstanding quality. This is difficult in war- time, but progress is being made and it is my strong belief that we may all look forward with confidence to that date in the not-too-distant future when our school will take its proper place, both in teaching and in research, with the finest institutions anywhere.

T? ' ' ' '- 11211 -', -at V. t it t l l I M644496 from we S - 1 - In the spring of 1943 the Southwestern Medical Foundation went to the people of Texas with a vis- ion-the vision of a great institution in Dallas, dedicated to the perpetuation and advancement of medical education and scientific research. Endowed with that vision the citizens of Dallas, together with many loyal citizens in other parts of the state, pledged their financial support. The initial goal of 351,500,000 for the creation of a superior medical school, free from denominational control, to be the nucleus of the projected center was oversubscribed by SB200,000. The Dallas Chamber of Commerce and Citizens Council pledged their aid in raising 5100,- 000 annually for ten years to help defray operating expenses of the school un- til it had acquired an adequate endowment income. The mandate was clear. Now, the first step should be taken. The Foundation had acquired 26 acres of rolling land adjacent to Parkland Hospital and the ex- isting Pediatric Center. lt effected a 25-year contract with the City and County of Dallas under which the medical school agreed to provide service for patients in Parkland charity hospital, in return for the privilege of utilizing the institu- tion's clinical facilities for teaching. And, on May 5, l943, the Foundation an- nounced the founding ot a new non-denominational medical school. Today, with 204 students, the College has a faculty numbering more than 200, including many highly trained specialists. Although many members of the clinical faculty are now on leave of absence, serving in the armed forces of their country, they will resume their part-time teaching activities when they return. Forty-eight full-time professors, instructors and technicians are employed. To perpetuate medical education and scientific research in the Southwest --this is the cause to which the Southwestern Medical Foundation has dedicated itself. Doctors, who will go to sick beds in the Texas homes and hospitals, armed with the most expert knowledge and the latest in medical wisdom, have been pro- duced. Others, wearing the uniform of their country, will take the best that medi- cine has to offer to wounded sons on the battlefield. Contributions to the science of medicine through research have been recorded in the work completed by pa- tient investigators, fired by a humanitarian zeal that is represented by the ideal- istic vision of this Foundation.
