Campus Walking Tour
9:30–10:30 am
Our student center is the newest addition to campus, but in recent years
we’ve expanded our BioPark and Hospital. And over the past decade we’ve
witnessed the openings of a health sciences library plus new buildings for
our law, dental, and nursing schools. Our tour will corroborate recent
claims that University of Maryland Baltimore has become one of the country’s
finest health sciences institutions. This out-door walking tour begins
and ends at Davidge Hall.
Restoring Davidge Hall: An Update
10:45–11:45 am
Davidge Hall
With exterior restoration work completed, attention now shifts to the interior
of Davidge Hall, America’s oldest medical building used continuously
for medical education. The plan is to return the building to its appearance
in the early 1800s, and the cost is expected to exceed $8 million. A personal
tour follows this 30-minute presentation.
Complimentary Picnic
11:30-2:00pm
Davidge Hall
The grounds of Davidge Hall are open for this complimentary picnic scheduled
to accommodate those attending morning or afternoon activities. Our
menu includes grilled burgers, bar-b-que chicken, an assortment of salads
(including pasta) and soft drinks. The area around Davidge is tented for
protection from the elements.

200 Years of Medicine at Maryland: A Historical Perspective
Milford M. Foxwell Jr., Class of 1980
12:15–1:15 pm
Davidge Hall
Medical School historian Milford M. Foxwell Jr., ’80, our associate dean
for admissions, traces the growth of our medical school from a home lecture
series in 1807 to one of the nation’s top academic medical centers in
2010. You recognize many of the names and faces featured in this one-hour
presentation, and you’ll learn about several others. Non-physicians will
enjoy this presentation as much as their physician-spouses. Congratulations
to Dr. Foxwell who celebrates his 30th medical school anniversary this
year!
Excursion to Fort McHenry
1:30–4:00 pm
$25 per person, reservations required
This star-shaped fort was constructed to defend the Port
of Baltimore from attacks by sea and is best remembered
for its defense against the British during the War of 1812.
The bombardment inspired Francis Scott Key to write the
Star-Spangled Banner, a poem that eventually became our
national anthem. Your registration fee includes a bus ride to
the front gates of the fort, admission, and a presentation to
prepare you for a guided tour. Be prepared to walk.
