Howard Storm Browne
Dean
1917-1919


The fourth Dean of the School of Pharmacy was a resident of Oklahoma from Tonkawa and a graduate of the University of Oklahoma. Before becoming Dean, Howard Storm Browne earned the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1911, the Pharmaceutical Chemist degree in 1912, and the Master of Science in 1913, all from OU.

During his brief tenure as the Dean of the School of Pharmacy, Browne continued his education in the College of Medicine. Dean Browne took a leave of absence during the first half of 1918-19 to complete the work required for the Doctor of Medicine degree, and D.B.R. Johnson served as Acting Dean. Dr. Browne then returned to the School of Pharmacy and held the position of Dean until September 1, 1919. At that time, he resigned to enter the practice of medicine and D.B.R. Johnson became Dean of the School of Pharmacy.
