Biographical / Historical
The James and Marilou Kelly Writers Series was established in 1998 with gifts from Marilou Morrell Kelly, Class of 1955. Marilou Kelly, who passed away on July 7, 2014, owned a marvelous bookstore in St. Charles, Illinois, for a number of years. An avid reader and lover of books, she frequently persuaded authors to give readings in the St. Charles community and became friends with a number of them. James J. Kelly, who passed away January 8, 1994, was an executive with Goldman Sachs in Chicago, former chair of the DePauw University Board of Trustees, and former chair of the Sesquicentennial Campaign. Generous gifts from Professor Emeritus of English J. David Field provide additional support. The Kelly Writers Series brings world-renowned poets, playwrights, and authors of fiction and nonfiction for readings and discussion to DePauw's campus. All events are free and open to the public.
