Historical Note
Otis R. Bowen (1918-2013) was a politician and physician from Indiana who served as the 44th governor of Indiana (1973-1981) and as secretary of Health and Human Services President Reagan's Cabinet (1985-1989). In 1983, he was honored in the Indiana Statehouse with a bronze bust of himself. The bust was one of three created from a clay model made by Lou Ann Lanagan in 1981. The other busts were donated to Bethel College, Bowen's alma mater, and to Ball State University's Archives and Special Collections Research Center.
