O. Meredith Wilson

Owen Meredith Wilson (September 21, 1909 – November 7, 1998) was an American historian and academic administrator.

His family was displaced by the Mexican Revolution a few years later and moved to a ranch near the Rio Grande.

Wilson amended the plans, however, to include a major research library on the West Bank, which now is named in his honor.

[4] Wilson worked as chair of the American Council on Education and headed of the board of Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.
