STEVEN MULLER, the 10th president of the university, also served as president of the hospital, a dual appointment held previously only by Hopkins’ founding president, Daniel Coit Gilman. Dr. Muller, who was named president emeritus when he retired in 1990, is credited with expanding the regional and global presence of the university. The initiative to endow this chair in his honor received support from former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl. Dr. Muller died in January 2013 at the age of 85.
