Franklin

David Murphy (January

29, 1916 – June 16, 1994) was doctor. During his life, he served as

Chancellor of the University of Kansas (KU) and

Chancellor of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

Murphy was born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1916 where

he attended the Pembroke-Country Day School. He

graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of

Kansas in 1936, and then earned his Doctor of Medicine from the University of Pennsylvania School of

Medicine in 1941. After graduation, he served in the United States Army Medical Corps during World War II,

where he became a captain. Afterward, he returned to Kansas City to

practice cardiology, and began teaching at the University of Kansas

School of Medicine in Kansas City, Kansas.

Within a few years of beginning his professorship at the University of Kansas, he became dean of

the medical school and eventually was chosen by the Kansas Board of Regents to

be chancellor of the entire university. Because of his successes at KU, UCLA asked him to

become their chancellor. In 1960, when his relationship with Kansas

Governor George Docking was no longer tolerable, he

accepted the position and relocated to Los Angeles, California. There, he was

also appointed to be a professor of medical history. At UCLA, he dealt with the

turbulence of student movements in the 1960s in a progressive manner, and

successfully kept the university stable. Moreover, he worked to establish the

university as a first-rate institution in its own right, and not simply a

branch of the vast University of California system. He

expanded the UCLA library system, enlarged the School of Medicine's basic

science programs, convinced the regents of the University of California to

purchase and maintain a cyclotron for the school, and founded the Jules Stein Eye

Institute and a museum now known as the Fowler Museum at UCLA. In 1968, he

resigned his position as chancellor in order to become Chairman and CEO of

the Times Mirror Company, remaining in Los

Angeles. He continued in this position until 1980, and remained a director of

the company until he retired in 1986.
