“…50 The National Institutes of Health (NIH) traces its beginnings to 1887, when a one-room laboratory was created in the Marine Hospital Service, founded in 1798 and the precursor agency to the US Public Health Service. 51 Following World War II, funding from the federal government, funneled primarily through the NIH and the Department of Defense, fueled a major expansion of biomedical research. 52 , 53 Also, the National Science Foundation (NSF) was established by the NSF Act of 1950 with the mission to promote the progress of science; to advance national health, prosperity, and welfare; and to secure the national defense.…”

In 1921, 16 Texas pathologists gathered in Dallas, Texas, to found the Texas Society of Pathologists (TSP). The TSP is now the oldest state pathology society in the USA with continuity traced back to its founding 100 years ago. This article aims to both commemorate the TSP centennial and to provide context for the remarkable success of the society. The article takes a look back and a look forward from 1921. The look back focuses on the development of the field of pathology and the maturation of medicine and pathology in the USA and Texas. The look forward encompasses developments in science, technology, American health care policy, and medicine that have impacted Texas pathologists and influenced proactive initiatives of the TSP. The review of the life and times of the TSP highlights the importance of leaders and leadership in shaping outcomes. Complexities and uncertainties of the contemporary health care scene point to the need for continued strong leadership. The successful past century and hopeful future of the TSP are inextricably linked to the guiding principle of the TSP, which is a focus on continual striving for excellence in medicine. KEYWORDS Health care policy; history; Texas society of pathologists "I have great respect for the past. If you don't know where you've come from, you don't know where you are going."-Maya Angelou (1928-2014) "Of necessity an historical account must be largely biographical. Men and their books have built pathology. Yet without a point of view which takes account of the major social movements of general history, no real conception of the historical development of any subject is possible."-Esmond R. Long, MD (1890-1979) "If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants."-Isaac Newton (1642-1726)
