The Johns Hopkins University (or JHU) is a private university in Maryland, which was founded as the nation's first research university[4] in 1876, under President Daniel Coit Gilman.[5] It is named after merchant Johns Hopkins, who died in 1873 and left $7 million to build a university and hospital in his name (the hospital opened in 1889).[4]
The school ranked #14 in US News's 2008 "National Universities: Top Schools" list.[6] Johns Hopkins ranks first among United States universities in receipt of federal research and development funds.[7] The School of Medicine ranks first among medical schools in receipt of extramural awards from the National Institutes of Health.[7] The Bloomberg School of Public Health is first among all public health schools in research support from the federal government.[7]
Contents
History
After Hopkins's incorporation of both a university and hospital in 1867, George Peabody proposed the establishment of an institute in Baltimore to be comprised of a library, art gallery, academy of music, and a lecture series. The building of this school was completed in 1861, but the Civil War delayed its opening.[8] It was incorporated as a part of Johns Hopkins University in 1977.
Johns Hopkins's first African American student came in 1887, when Kelly Miller sought a degree in mathematics. The school increased tuition by 25% two years later, due to the economic crisis, and Miller was forced to leave. Years later his former mathematics professor Simon Newcomb and President Gilman recommend Miller for a faculty position at Howard University, his undergraduate alma mater, where Miller subsequently served for many years as professor of mathematics and dean of arts and sciences.[8] Johns Hopkins had an all male student body until 1970, when the first female students arrived on campus.[8]
Allegations of Covert Pro-Communist Activities
Among JHU's more notable alumni was Alger Hiss, who attended in 1922-26.[9] According to Hiss, his favorite[10] mentors at Hopkins included the committed Stalinist[11] José Robles[12] (who would go on to serve in Spain as a Colonel[13] in the Red Army[14] and interpreter for General Jānis Bērziņš[15] head of Soviet military intelligence),[16] and the well-known socialist[17] Broadus Mitchell.[18] Another JHU alumnus, Sidney Offit, would later write that he became Mitchell's "radical protegé in waiting."[19] (Later serving as a Reserve Officer in Army Intelligence at a time when Communist couriers were infiltrating the US Merchant Marines,[20] Offit wrote, "it was my job to interview prospective crewmen for merchant marine ships to be sure no advocates of Karl Marx were allowed aboard. Somehow or other I always found a reason to pass on these workingmen regardless of their flirtations with the 'forceful overthrow of the United States government.'")[21] In addition, Owen Lattimore, who was identified in a unanimous report of the bipartisan Senate Judiciary Committee as "a conscious articulate instrument of the Soviet conspiracy,"[22] was director of the Walter Hines Page School of International Relations at Hopkins in 1939-53. Most recently, State Department official Walter Kendall Myers, sentenced in 2010 to life imprisonment for espionage,[23] was for 20 years a faculty member at JHU's Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies in Washington.[24]
