16 Law School Bodies Volunteer Their Blood

Sixteen men at the Law School helps a seventeenth pay his medical bills by each giving a pint of blood.

The mass donation was the result of a plea sent to the Law School student body by vice-Dean Livingston Hall on behalf of Albert R. Ketcham III 2L.

Ketcham was sick in Peter Bent Brahman Hospital and needed 16 transfusions during the height of his illness. Unable to meet the costs, he asked the Law School for aid. The Dean's Office says the Dormitory Council responded by rounding up volunteers to replace the blood in the Boston blood bank that had been pumped into Ketcham.
