Richard Meiling
Richard Lewis Meiling (1908-1984) received his BA from Wittenberg College in 1930, and his MD from the University of Munich in 1937. He maintained a long career in the military and pioneered air evacuation for the allied armies in World War II. Upon returning to the States, Meiling was a professor at OSU (1947-1960) and served as Dean of the College of Medicine (1961-1970). Among other things during his tenure as Dean, Meiling obtained art glass panels for the College documenting its history (featured on the 1st floor of Meiling Hall); a mosaic for Prior Hall; and, an official seal for the College of Medicine.
