Former Gov. Bill Clements Makes Historic Gift to UT Southwestern With $100 Million 'Transformative' Contribution

Date:6/12/2009

Mr. Clements and Dr. Sprague had been chemistry classmates at Southern Methodist University.

William T. Solomon, chairman of the board of Southwestern Medical Foundation and lifelong friend of Mr. Clements, said, "Bill Clements is and always has been a man of bold vision and purpose.
