Medical college deans at critical stages.
Throughout its 100-year existence, the College of Medicine has faced numerous crises, mostly due to inadequate funding. Furthermore, at various times there has been significant political interference, the worst of which was the Executive Order issued by Governor William H. Murray. However, these four Deans exhibited great leadership during especially difficult times. In several instances, they were aided by sympathetic and effective Governors including Robert L. Williams, Roy S. Turner, and Henry Bellmon. The College of Medicine was fortunate that they were willing to proceed through adverse conditions, because without them, many of us would not have had the opportunity to attend medical school in Oklahoma.
