A crowd is gathered in front of Southwestern Medical School's first building on its Harry Hines Blvd. campus for the dedication ceremony. The date is January 29, 1955. The building was first known as the Basic Science Hall. In 1960, Edward H. Cary's name was added, to honor his role as the driving force behind the founding of the medical school. In this photo, Parkland Memorial Hospital's 1954 building is seen behind the medical school, with downtown Dallas in the distance, at the top of the photo. The nurses' residence is also visible. This photo was also featured in the April 1971 issue of the Newsletter (a campus publication).
