Description
Southwestern Medical School's first campus on Oak Lawn Avenue--behind Parkland Hospital on Maple Avenue--placed it near several hospitals, as this photo illustrates. Southwestern's library and labs (upper right corner) and Medical Art Department on Maple Avenue (left edge) were also near the main campus. When Southwestern Medical College was incorporated into the University of Texas in 1949, it changed from being a "College" to being a "School."
