Hugh Hampton Young was born in San Antonio, Texas. He received his A.B. and M.A. in 1893 and an M.D. in 1894 from the University of Virginia. Young came to Baltimore in 1895 to undertake postgraduate work at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. In 1898, Young became head of genitourinary surgery at Johns Hopkins. He oversaw the development of the Brady Urological Institute and served as its director from its founding in 1915 until his retirement in 1942. He invented numerous operating instruments such as the Young punch, an instrument used to excise the prostate gland, and devised several surgical procedures for treating genito-urinary diseases. He performed the first perineal prostatectomy in 1902 and the first radical operation on a cancerous prostate gland in 1904. Young wrote several books, including Young’s Practice of Urology and A Surgeon’s Autobiography, established the Journal of Urology, and was its editor until his death.

In gratitude for the medical care he had received from Hugh Hampton Young, James Buchanan ("Diamond Jim") Brady donated money to Johns Hopkins for a facility dedicated to the study and practice of urology. Young came to Hopkins in 1895, and in 1898 joined the faculty of the Department of Genito-Urinary Diseases, which later became the Division of Urology in the Department of Surgery and eventually the James Buchanan Brady Urological Institute. The Brady Urological Institute (BUI) opened in 1915, with Young as its first director. Young established the first structured residency program in urology at the BUI. Young directed the BUI until his retirement in 1944 and was succeeded as director of the BUI by William Wallace Scott in 1946. Patrick Walsh succeeded Scott in 1974. In 1972, with reorganization of the Department of Surgery, the Division of Urology was made the Department of Urology. In the 1970s the need for a new building to house the Brady Institute became clear. It was ultimately decided to move the Brady Institute into the Marburg building, one of the original buildings still remaining on the East Baltimore campus. The new quarters had the added advantage of situating the Department of Urology closer to the Division of Renal Medicine, enabling cooperation between these two related specialties. The Marburg building was renovated, and the new Brady Urological Institute was dedicated on September 29, 1982. In 2004, Alan Partin succeeded Walsh as director.

Adolf Meyer was born in Niederweningen, Switzerland. He received his medical degree from the University of Zurich in 1892. Coming to the United States in 1892, Meyer held positions at the University of Chicago, Illinois Eastern Hospital for the Insane, Worcester Insane Hospital, Clark University, Pathological Institute of New York State Hospitals, and Cornell University before his appointment as professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1908. He was named psychiatrist-in-chief at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1909.

At Johns Hopkins, Meyer directed the development of the Henry Phipps Psychiatric Clinic, which opened in 1913. In designing the program for this clinic, Meyer integrated functions of teaching, research, and patient care. At the Phipps Clinic, Meyer trained two generations of psychiatrists, elevated modes of diagnosis and treatment, and conducted extensive research in neuroanatomy, neuropathology, and psychiatry. His major contributions include propounding the doctrine of psychobiology, standardizing case histories, reforming state insane asylums, and co-founding the mental hygiene movement.
