HISTORY OF THE MCDONALD-MERRILL-KETCHAM MEMORIAL LECTURE AND AWARD The story of this award and lectureship begins with a visionary alumna of Indiana University: Dorothy M. Ketcham. Miss Ketcham received her bache­ lor of arts in economics in 19 I 4 and her master of arts in sociology the follow­ ing year. She joined the faculty of the University of Michigan in 192 I. In 1922, she became director of social services at the University ofMichigan Hos­ pital. In this capacity, she saw the important role that medicine and law played in the lives of those whom she served. In 1928, she established a multifaceted workshop and recreational facility for children confined to the hospital. While at the university she also wrote several books, two of which were devoted to hospital law. Miss Ketcham's affinity for the law grew out of her family's close rela­ tionship with the legal system. Her grandfather, David McDonald, was a prac­ ticing attorney in Indianapolis, as well as a circuit judge. He was appointed to the United States District Court in 1864 where he served until his death. Doro­ thy's father, William A Ketcham, was a well known Indianapolis Attorney. Prior to being admitted to the bar in 1869, he studied law with his father, John L. Ketcham and Judge David McDonald. William Ketcham was elected to the office of state attorney general in 1894 and served two terms. Miss Ketcham's interest in health related law extended beyond her scholarship. In a trust she established for herself and four of her sisters (Miss Flora McDonald Ketcham, Dr. Jane M. Ketcham, and Misses Lilla and Lucia Ket­ cham), she made a remainder gift to the Indiana University Foundation to be used to assist the university in developing programs that would foster a greater understanding and better relations between the professions of law and medi­ cine. Miss Ketcham was especially interested in furthering the careers of young medical and law students and instilling in them an appreciation for both profes­ sions. Miss Ketcham's generous gift, named for her grandparents (Judge David McDonald, John L. Ketcham, and Jane Merrill Ketcham), funds this prestigious lectureship and award for an individual who has demonstrated excellence in the fields of common interest to the two professions. It is fitting that the university honor Miss Ketcham's wishes by bringing to our campus distinguished scholars and leaders who bridge the gap between law and medicine. By inviting them to share their expertise with students, faculty, and leaders of the legal and medical professions, we continue to support the ideals that Dorothy M. Ketcham es­ poused in her life and work In recent years, the lecture and award have been made in collaboration with the Medical Humanities Program, a new interdisci­ plinary project based in the School of Liberal Arts. This addition further inte­ grates law and medicine into the academic community and encourages each discipline to think of itself in relation to others.
