Of historical note
Americans will elect a new president in November. But did you know that UTMB has only had five presidents in its 125-year history? Dr. Truman Blocker was first, in 1967. Since then the four have been Dr. William C. Levin (1974), Dr. Thomas N. James (1987), Dr. John D. Stobo (1997), and Dr. David L. Callender (2007).
