Matthews.With a name change to the Medical Foundation Committee, Dr. V.C.
After the 1948 legislative disappointment that saw the next UT medical school going to Dallas, these civic worthies and others turned their attention to fundraising for medical training at Bexar County’s Robert B. Green Hospital, with modest results.
