Texas' 1969 plan to add medical and dental schools
The Coordinating Board proposes a broad program to expand Texas medical education by adding first year enrollments at Galveston Dallas and San Antonio medical schools to reach at least 565 freshmen by 1980. It also calls for subsidies to Baylor University of Medicine in Houston and, if approved, a new state medical school in the Texas Medical Center Houston.

The package aims to meet rising educational needs in Dallas and Houston and to upgrade upper level campuses in North Texas and the Gulf region.
