UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND AT BALTIMORE CAMPUS HISTORY This year marks the 175th anniversary of the University of Maryland which traces its beginning to the Baltimore campus. It was here, in 1807, that the School of Medicine — the fifth oldest medical school in the country — was founded. In the ensuing years, six other professional schools have been added to the Baltimore campus. In 1812, the Maryland Legislature charged that law be one of the four colleges constituting the University of Maryland. The first faculty of the School of Law was chosen in 1813 when David Hoffman was elected pro- fessor of law. Eleven years after the addition of the School of Law to the Baltimore campus, the University of Maryland Hospital, then known as the Baltimore Infirmary, was established in 1823. Serving as a teaching unit of the School of Medicine, senior students in the medical school lived in the hospital and helped to care for the patients — the first intramural residency training offered in the United States. Founded in 1840, the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, Dental School of the University of Maryland, oc- cupies a unique and important place in the heritage of den- tistry. It was the first dental school in the world and represents the first effort to offer institutional dental education to those anticipating the practice of dentistry. Horace H. Hayden and Chapin A. Harris were the co- founders of the school. The School of Pharmacy was incorporated in 1841 as the fourth pharmacy college in the nation. The school has made many noteworthy contributions through the years including the establishment of the first professorship in pharmacy in the United States. The School of Nursing was established in 1889 by Louisa Parsons, a graduate of the Florence Nightingale School at St. Thomas’ Hospital in London. Located in the old University Hospital building on Lombard and Greene Streets, it was originally the University of Maryland Train- ing School. The Graduate School, established by the university in 1918, awarded its first master’s degrees in 1924 on the Baltimore campus. The first Ph.D. was awarded in 1933. The newest professional school on the Baltimore cam- pus, the School of Social Work and Community Planning, was established in 1961. One of the largest schools of its kind in the country, the school’s community affiliations in- clude agencies with service traditions reflecting the notable contributions of Baltimore’s outstanding philan- thropic and social welfare leaders. Today, the University of Maryland at Baltimore is recognized internationally for its outstanding educational, research and training programs. The 36-acre city campus provides a unique opportunity for interprofessional study and the delivery of health care to the citizens of the state of Maryland. 20
