This photo was taken the month before Dr. Charles Sprague retired after 12 years as President of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Dallas. Dr. Sprague had begun his career on campus in 1967 as Dean of Southwestern Medical School, then the top position on a campus which consisted of just three buildings. By 1972, a Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and a School of Allied Health Sciences had been added, and the campus was reorganized with Dr. Sprague as President. In 1979, Dr. Sprague was elected to the prestigious Institute of Medicine. He retired in 1986. In 1990, the new Charles Cameron Sprague Clinical Science Building was named in his honor. In 2007, Southwestern Medical School further honored Dr. Sprague by naming one of its six newly-created colleges after him. Dr. Sprague was born in 1916 and passed in 2005.
