Title	Donald W. Seldin, M.D., portrait photo in classroom, 1990
Description	Dr. Donald W. Seldin joined the Southwestern Medical School faculty in 1951, and within a year became the sole remaining member of the Department of Internal Medicine. He became Chairman and accepted the challenge of building a new department, which would become one of the best in the country. Over the next 36 years, he lured distinguished physicians and researchers away from other schools, and guided the development of the brightest of his own students into brilliant faculty. He garnered innumerable teaching honors, and was elected to the prestigious Institute of Medicine in 1974. When he stepped down in 1988, an endowed distinguished chair was created in his name to honor his profound impact on UT Southwestern and its students. He has contributed to a number of journals and books, as well as editing books, including "The Kidney: Physiology and Pathophysiology". In 2007, Southwestern Medical School honored him again by naming one of its six newly-created colleges in his honor.
