One of the Library’s exhibit cases this semester features Alice Lorraine Smith, M.D. (1920-2014). She was one of the first female students at Southwestern Medical College, and she graduated in 1946, which was just three years before the College merged with the University of Texas System.
Dr. Smith joined the UT Southwestern faculty in 1950 as an assistant professor and worked her way to full professorship in 1976. A leader in cytopathology, she wrote several textbooks on the subject and received the award on display (pictured below) in recognition of her dedication to the field.
Dr. Smith retired from UT Southwestern in 2006.
TurnItIn is now available in two systems: D2L and Microsoft Word 365. Everyone with a utsouthwestern.edu email address has access to “Draft Coach” in the Word 365 version.
The similarity report available in the two systems is the same; however, the main difference is that the D2L version provides a method for submitting a paper for a grade and for the paper to be graded. If you are just looking for a similarity score (i.e., a plagiarism checker), then Draft Coach may be easier to use.
Here are instructions for how to use each version.

This section of the library is dedicated to the 118-year history of St. Paul Hospital. Originally named St. Paul Sanitarium, the institution started out on Bryan Street in east Dallas. First operating out of a small cottage in 1896, and opening its new hospital doors in 1898, the sanitarium was established by the Daughters of Charity with the intent to help maintain a base level of care for Dallas’ growing population. In 1900, St. Paul’s School of Nursing was opened on the hospital grounds. Early on, sisters would visit patients in their own homes and bring items like food and clothing, in addition to medicine, to improve their overall quality of life. Free clinics were later opened as extensions of the hospital in other neighborhoods in Dallas. These clinics continued the work started by the sisters, providing food and clothing to those in need in addition to routine medical care.
St. Paul Hospital was at the center of several historic events. The institution was a key defense during the 1918 influenza pandemic. Forty-five tents were erected on site to facilitate a larger reach of patient care, primarily of the sick soldiers from nearby Camp Dick. Later, the hospital was the first facility in Dallas to integrate their facility, admitting an African-American intern in 1953, and giving black doctors courtesy privileges as early as 1954. This was followed by the admission of black students to the School of Nursing in 1955, staffing of black physicians in 1956, and full de-segregation in 1959.
In 1963, a new facility was opened on Harry Hines Boulevard and all 112 patients were moved in only five hours. A feat that mirrored the great fire of 1951, when all 250 patients and employees present were evacuated from the old hospital successfully. The move to the new facility was in part due to the growing partnerships in the Medical District along Harry Hines, and at UT Southwestern Medical Center. After decades of growth and collaboration UTSW bought St. Paul Hospital in 2005, fully cementing St. Paul’s place as part of UTSW’s Medical Center. After all of their innovations and historic firsts, St. Paul Hospital ended it’s time in Dallas in 2014. That year patients and staff were transferred to the new William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital and in 2015, St. Paul University Hospital was demolished.
