He was educated at the Manlius schools and afterward entered the University of Michigan. He was graduated from that institution with the class of 1883. For a few years he devoted his time to the oil interests of his father in addition to practicing medicine. Later he devoted all his attention to his profession, specializing in skin diseases.

Dr. Baum at the time of his death was regarded as one of the greatest specialists of skin diseases in the country. He was professor of dermatology at the Syracuse college of Medicine; dermatologist at the Syracuse Hospital for Women and Children, St. Vincent's Orphan Asylum, the House of Providence, Syracuse Free Dispensary and St. Joseph's hospital.

For many years Dr. Baum was actively interested in the National guard. Although a commissioned officer in the guard, he enlisted as a private in the Second regiment, N.Y.V.L. at the outbreak of the Spanish war. He was eventually promoted to surgeon with the rank of major.
During his term of service with the infantry, Dr. Baum won the admiration of all with whom he came in contact. On one occasion a member of the company became seriously ill. Dr. Baum sacrificed his cot that his comrade might rest comfortably. He slept on the ground in the meantime. After several days he developed a severe case of bronchitis, from which he suffered from time to time for the remainder of his life.
