On this day in 1943--70 years ago-- Baylor College of Medicine opened in a former Sears store in Houston. The school had been in Dallas since 1900, but a dispute with civic leaders there led them to accept an invitation from the M.D. Anderson Foundation and other Houston benefactors to move. In 1947 the school moved again to the Roy and Lillie Cullen Building, becoming the first institution to locate in the Texas Medical Center. It remains the only private medical school in the southwest and is one of the top 20 research medical schools in the United States. momentumblog.bcm.edu/2013/05/31/70-years-of-victories-the-dawning-of-baylor-college-of-medicine-in-houston/
