University trustee BERNARD N. BAKER was an international expert on maritime transportation and owner of the Atlantic Transport Line. Before going into the shipping business, he had established a chemical company and then a coal-mining firm. After retirement, he became president of the Baltimore Trust and Guarantee Company. He and two other board members together gave fully half of the total $1 million raised during the 1902 Endowment Fund campaign. In recognition of Mr. Baker’s leadership and generosity, the board established this chair in his honor.
