About the author

J. Davidson Ketchum was studying music in Germany in 1914 when he was caught by the war and interned for four years in the prison camp at Ruhleben. The experience generated an interest in human problems which led him first to religion and then to psychology--and eventually to a distinguished career in the Department of Psychology in the University of Toronto, where he was a Professor at the time of his death, in 1962.
