ABSTRACT
When Hugh Hampton Young (1870-1945) began practicing urol ogy in 1897 at the clever recommendation of his praised mentor, William Halsted (1852-1922), and with indirect support from the well-accomplished pathologist and Hopkins founding dean, W ill iam Welch (1850-1934), the field was not organized and few well-defined treatments were available for the myriad of human uro logical diseases.
