Doctor, Doctor

Dartmouth has named its medical school after Dr. Seuss. Actually, after Audrey and Theodor Seuss Geisel.

You can't make this stuff up. From the release:
Dartmouth College announced today the naming of its medical school, founded in 1797, in honor of Audrey and Theodor Geisel. Their generosity to Dartmouth during their lifetimes and through their estate plan renders the Geisel family the most significant philanthropist to Dartmouth in its history. Theodor "Ted" Geisel, known worldwide as the author and illustrator, "Dr. Seuss," was a Dartmouth graduate of the Class of 1925.
It's now the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. (link)
