Abstract

Indiana University Presidents have played significant and consistent leadership roles in the history of the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children. Through involvement in the James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Association (now the Riley Children’s Foundation) since its beginnings in 1921 to the present day, Indiana University Presidents have been steady, strong, and dedicated voices for building, expanding, and enhancing the hospital’s capabilities to care for children from the Hoosier state and beyond. Through the James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Association (now the Riley Children’s Foundation), Indiana University Presidents and other university leaders like James W. Fesler (Trustee, 1902-1936 and Board President, 1919-1936) and Indiana University First Lady Laurie Burns McRobbie (2018 appointment, Riley Children’s Foundation Board of Governors) have contributed their knowledge, expertise, resources, and vision to the betterment of the hospital. Indiana University President William Lowe Bryan and President Herman B. Wells set the standard for this enduring leadership. This is the second of four photo displays to be presented through this project.
