Dr. Chauncey Depew Leake

Dr. Chauncey Depew Leake (1896-1978) remains the only non-medical doctor to be in charge of the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston in its 125-year history. He served as the Executive Vice President and Dean of the Medical School from 1942-1955. He was an internationally famed pharmacologist, prolific writer, and one of the most significant medical historians of the twentieth century. Long before it became fashionable, Dr. Leake advocated for the “free dissemination of accumulating knowledge” and insisted that Texas Reports on Biology and Medicine, the journal he started in 1943, was “to be distributed without charge to every medical library…to which it may be possible to send it.”
