Happy Valentine's Day!

I recently found this inscription in a 1940's miniature English-Castilian dictionary, and thought it would be perfect for Valentines Day.

"To Cuddles, from your ever-lovin' bright eyes. 

Till the end of time.

We Celebrate Black Medical Pioneers! (Part 1)

In 1855, the Medical & Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland changed its by-laws to include both Black and Women physicians. Prior to that, they had read "gentlemen" members, which obviously didn't apply to women, and at the time, it also did not apply to Blacks. 

The Center for a Healthy Maryland is publishing a series of brief biographies of medical pioneers on their Instagram account this month, and I will be sharing some of them here. 

If you're interested in seeing what we've posted over the past years, please click here. 

A special thanks to Lindy Gapsis for posting these and sharing them with the History office.
