Wescoe Led KU Through Turbulent Era as Chancellor and Dean
Wescoe born 1920 in Allentown rose to become KU medical dean at 32 and chancellor from 1960 to 1969. He later led Sterling Drug Inc as vice president and CEO, served on NYSE and Mayo Clinic boards, and helped KU expand with new buildings and a major private campaign. He faced Civil Rights protests and antiwar unrest, guiding gradual change before retiring to Minnesota and then Kansas City area. Memorial service set for March at Spencer Museum of Art.
