No obvious copyvio. The hook, used in tandem with the image, is interesting as it suggests that the Georgetown SOM is a very old SOM with clerical roots which surprised me. Article was expanded from a one-sentence stub by nom [1] more than 5X. Article and hook are NPOV and of correct length. No obvious copyvio. Hook is inline sourced to a RS (Georgetown University itself which, while not WP:INDEPENDENT, is a non-contentious fact from an accredited and reputable university). The image is well out of copyright. QPQ done. Chetsford (talk) 01:04, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
