T he first endowed professorships were established more than 500 years ago with the creation of the Lady Margaret chairs in divinity at Oxford and Cambridge Universities. The original endowed chairs were sponsored by Lady Margaret, countess of Richmond, and grandmother of Henry VIII in 1502. Subsequently, private individuals began making financial contributions to establish other endowed professorships and chairs such as the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics, which Sir Isaac Newton held beginning in 1669. Professor Stephen Hawking, the internationally renowned physicist and recipient of the 2010 US Medal of Freedom, was another prominent holder of this endowed chair. The honor associated with appointment to an endowed position has remained unchanged for the last 500 years and is recognized as one of the highest tributes that an academic institution can bestow upon its most distinguished faculty. These endowed professorships and chairs continue to reward exceptional scholars uninterrupted to the present time. The Office of Development is charged with securing private gifts to ensure the School’s tradition of excellence is sustained through robust research, clinical, and educational programs and initiatives. The University of Maryland School of Medicine is fortunate to have nearly 85 endowed chairs & professorships in various stages of completion and held by esteemed faculty members.
DR. RICHARD AND KATHRYN TAYLOR Dr. Richard and Kathryn Taylor both grew up in Hagerstown, Maryland. Mrs. Taylor is a 1971 graduate of the University System of Maryland’s Frostburg State University, becoming an artist and art teacher. After finishing his undergraduate studies at Johns Hopkins University and graduating with Phi Beta Kappa honors, Dr. Taylor then continued all his professional education and training at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. While attending the School of Medicine, he was enrolled in the very first group of students participating in the School’s then newly established Combined Accelerated Program in Psychiatry (CAPP), graduating in 1975 with honors. The next year, along with his brother Ronald (class of 1973), the Drs. Taylor opened a new, freestanding “whole body” CT scanning operation in Towson, the first of it’s kind in the greater Baltimore metropolitan area (and just the twelfth one in the world). Dr. Taylor completed his neurology residency as Chief Resident in the School’s Department of Neurology in 1978. Prior to his retirement, Dr. Taylor served as Chief of Neurology at MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital and Chief of Neurophysiology/EEG at several other Baltimore community hospitals. He also engaged in numerous formal clinical studies, resulting in his authoring more than a dozen published journal articles. Despite establishing and working at his busy group practice, Dr. Taylor has continued his consistent volunteer involvement at UMB, including regular medical student teaching sessions as an Adjunct Professor of Neurology, active participation in the Medical Alumni Association (serving as its 125th President) and many years of membership on the Dean’s Board of Visitors as well as the UMB Foundation Board. Along with the other Taylor family members who have also proudly graduated from the UM School of Medicine, Dr. & Mrs. Taylor’s previous charitable support over the years has included endowments for the Taylor Lectureship in Neuropsychiatry, the Medical Alumni Association Presidency, Leadership Hall, and the School’s renovated freshman lecture room area now called Taylor Lecture Hall.
