Endowed Chairs

The endowed professorship is rich with tradition. It came into being in 16th century England when Lady Margaret of Richmond, mother of Henry VII, established the Margaret Professorship of Divinity at Oxford.

Now, five centuries later, her gift still supports a continuous line of distinguished scholars. The first American chair was established at Harvard University some 50 years before the American Revolution.

A special opportunity is available to the donor of an endowed chair. The donor is able to commemorate the name of an individual for posterity. Such appointments are held by renowned medical scientists who are especially chosen for the honor. The endowed chair acknowledges the person for whom it is named. As an indicator of lasting commitment, dedication and performance, it characterizes those values, which attend true distinction in medical science and practice.

The endowed chair is a tribute of the highest order to the holder, the donor and to those for whom it is named. It is a unique means of sustaining special academic distinction for current and future generations.
