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.
