Jay A. Perman, MD

Jay A. Perman, MD, was appointed president of the founding institution of the University System of Maryland on July 1, 2010. It marks a return for Perman, who chaired the Department of Pediatrics in the School of Medicine from 1999 to 2004.

Perman left Baltimore to become the dean and vice president for clinical affairs at the University of Kentucky (UK) College of Medicine from 2004 to 2010. In his six years at UK, Perman oversaw the recruitment of nearly 200 faculty members. Total all-source revenues there grew by nearly 50 percent during his tenure.

At the University of Maryland, Perman becomes the sixth president of the state’s only public academic health, law, and human services university. The campus has a Graduate School and six professional schools (dental, law, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and social work) and a 10-acre research BioPark. Extramural funding reached a record $567 million in Fiscal Year 2010.

Perman received a Doctor of Medicine degree with Distinction in 1972 from Northwestern University. Following his pediatric residency in 1975, he completed a fellowship in pediatric gastroenterology at Harvard Medical School and at the Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Boston in 1977.

From 1977 to 1984, he worked in pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco. Perman was at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine from 1984 to 1996, serving as a professor of pediatrics and a leader of several important divisions.

From 1996 to 1999, Perman was the Jessie Ball duPont Professor and chairman of pediatrics at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical College in Richmond.

Perman’s career includes service on many national, state, and local organizations, boards, and committees. A native of Chicago, Perman and his wife, Andrea, a research nurse, have four adult children.

The University The University of Maryland (UM) is the state’s public academic health, law, and human services university devoted to leadership and excellence in professional and graduate education, research, public service, and patient care.

The University began in 1807 as the fifth medical school and first public medical school in the nation. The institution was chartered by the General Assembly in 1812 as the University of Maryland following the addition of a law faculty. That led to the founding of the law school 12 years later. The dental college, the world’s first, was opened here in 1840, to be joined shortly thereafter by the nation’s fourth oldest school of pharmacy (1841).

The nursing school, founded by a student of Florence Nightingale, opened in 1889, with the Graduate School following in 1918. The latest addition, the School of Social Work, opened in 1961 and boasts programs ranked among the nation’s best and is now celebrating its 50th year.

Today the University offers baccalaureate, master’s, doctoral, and professional practice degree programs to nearly 6,500 students. The University also is a

I N A U G U R AT I O N O F J AY A . P E R M A N , M D

major biomedical research institution, with extramural funding totaling a record $567 million in Fiscal Year 2010.

The 10-acre University of Maryland BioPark now includes more than 460,000 square feet of wet lab and office space in two multi-tenant buildings and the state of Maryland’s new Forensic Medical Center. The BioPark’s 22 tenants employ more than 500 people and 1,200 students are training there for careers in health science and business.

Overall, the UM campus consists of 61 acres with almost 6 million gross square feet of space in 65 buildings.

Yielding more than $15 in economic activity for each $1 of state general fund appropriation, the University generates nearly 25,000 jobs, and together with affiliated hospital systems and clinics generates more than $6 billion in economic activity annually.

The University’s collaborative approach to research and service among its seven schools also extends to community service with students, faculty, and staff providing more than 2 million hours of service annually to Maryland citizens.

Academic Symbols The Medallion The Presidential Medallion, which was cast for this ceremony, features the name and seal of the University of Maryland and the date of its founding (1807). Measuring a little more than 3 inches in diameter and suspended from a black and gold ribbon, the medal bears the words “Dr. Jay A. Perman, 6th President of University of Maryland” on the reverse side.

The Regalia The purple regalia worn by President Perman reflects the Doctor of Medicine degree with Distinction he earned in 1972 from Northwestern University in Chicago. The four chevrons across the sleeves further signify his presidency. The robes of doctors are adorned with three chevrons; only presidential robes are permitted to bear the fourth.

TheMace and Mace Holder The University mace, carried by chief marshal Marcelo Cardarelli, MD, MPH, president of the Faculty Senate, was created for the University’s 1971 commencement and has been used at each subsequent commencement. The mace, which is a traditional symbol of authority, includes the seal of the state of Maryland, wrought in brass, on a walnut staff.

Today’s mace holder was designed and constructed by Bruce Jarrell, MD, FACS, the executive vice dean of the University of Maryland (UM) School of Medicine, with help from his daughter and sister.

A former cabinetmaker and accomplished metalsmith, Jarrell based the design on the Maryland state flag, which bears the cross bottony and the palisades of the Calvert and Crossland families of the Lords Baltimore.

In addition to the spiraling elements of the flag, the mace holder bears a ribbon on which Jarrell’s daughter, Gwynneth, incised in steel “University of Maryland.”

She is an alumna of UM’s School of Nursing. The structure sits on a box of ebony and Maryland Wye oak handmade by Bess Jarrell Naylor, Dr. Jarrell’s sister and an alumna of the School of Medicine who is a cabinetmaker in York, Pa. The wooden box bears the numerals 1807, the year of the founding of the School of Medicine and, thus, the University.

The Wye oak is not the only material of local significance in the mace holder.

At the top is a hook made of iron from Davidge Hall, recognized by the U.S. Department of the Interior for its significance as a federal historic landmark and as the oldest medical facility in the country continuously used for medical education. Dr. Jarrell forged handmade nails remaining

from Davidge Hall’s restoration and from them created a hook, on which today Dr. Perman will place the original 7-inch brass key to Davidge Hall, the most recognized symbol of the University.

“The symbolism is pretty heavy; I like that part of it,” says Jarrell, who estimates he spent between 300 and 400 hours on the project. Asked for what satisfaction he derived from it, Jarrell smiled and said, “First of all, I’m a surgeon and any time you create something with your hands you get pleasure from it. Second, it’s fun to be creative. They said go make something and I did. And, of course, it will be very nice to have the mace sit in a nice holder. I hope it’s nice enough. If not, I’ll have to make it over again.”

It is not the first such project for Jarrell. A member of the Blacksmith Guild of Central Maryland, he created a mace holder in 2006 for School of Medicine convocations based on the staff of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine and healing, with a serpent head at the top and an arrow at the bottom. It proudly sits in the display cabinet inside the door of Davidge Hall.

A suitable resting spot also is being found for Jarrell’s latest mace holder, which will be used at annual University commencement exercises and ceremonial events.
