IDSTORY 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 bachelor of arts in economics in 1914 and her master of arts in sociology the following year. She joined the faculty of the University of Michigan in 1921. In 1922, she became director of social services at the University of Michigan Hospital. In this capacity, she saw the important role that medi­ cine 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 ofwhich are devoted to hospital law. Miss Ketcham's affinity for the law grew out of her family's close re­ lationship with the legal system. Her grandfather, David McDonald, was a practicing attorney in Indianapolis, as well as a circuit judge. He was ap­ pointed to the United States District Court in 1864 where he served until his death. Dorothy's father, William A. Ketcham, was a well-known Indianapo­ lis 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 the health 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 Ketcham}, 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 unde~tanding and better relations between the professions of law and medicine. Miss Ketcham was especially interested in furthering the careers of young medical and law students and instilling in them an appre­ ciation for both professions. 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 fit­ ting 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, fac­ ulty and leaders of the legal and medical professions, we continue to sup­ port the ideals that Dorothy M. Ketcham espoused in her life and work. In recent years, the lecture and award have been made in collaboration with the Medical Humanities Program, a new interdisciplinary project based in the School of Liberal Arts. This addition further integrates law and medi­ cine into the academic community and encourages each discipline to think of itself in relation to others.
