This impressive medical facility was started with a donation of $19 million left by Monroe Dunaway Anderson upon his death in 1939. The University of Texas was able to invest this money in the foundation of a cancer research hospital. A few years later, President Roosevelt approved construction of a naval hospital nearby.
