The first dean of The University of Texas Medical School at Houston, Cheves M. Smythe, M.D., now has an endowed lecture series in his name thanks to the generosity of friends, family, and faculty.

Honoring the spark that became the blaze known as the John P. McGovern, M.D. Center for Health, Humanities, and Human Spirit is the goal of the newly established endowed chair for that center.
