Charles Donald O'Malley

Charles Donald O'Malley (April 1, 1907 – April 6, 1970) was an American

In the 1950s Franklin David Murphy, as the chancellor of the University of Kansas at Lawrence, unsuccessfully attempted to recruit O'Malley to become a professor at Lawrence. In 1960 Murphy was appointed the chancellor of UCLA, as well as a professor of medical history. During the 1960s Murphy and O'Malley worked together productively. Murphy with O'Malley's help persuaded the directors of the Wellcome Trust^[2] to donate 30,000 objects from the Wellcome Ethnological Collection in London to assist the founding in 1963 of a new UCLA campus museum. The new museum was originally named the "Laboratory of Ethnic Arts and Technology."^[28]

O'Malley was one of the founding members at the first formal meeting in 1964 of the International Academy of the History of Medicine^[29] and was the academy's president from 1967 until his death in 1970.^[25]

Awards and honors

In 1956 O'Malley was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.^[30] He was an honorary or corresponding member of the Royal Society of Medicine, the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries (London), and several other prestigious societies concerned with the history of medicine. In 1965 he received the History of Science Society's Pfizer Award and the Commonwealth Club of California's silver medal. In 1969 he received the Prix Eugène Baie II from the government of Belgium's Antwerp Province.^[2] As a posthumous honor, UCLA established the Charles Donald O'Malley Short-Term Research Fellowships.^[31]
