==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.<ref name="timeline">http://webapps.jhu.edu/jhuniverse/information_about_hopkins/about_jhu/chronology/index.cfm</ref>
Johns Hopkins first [[African American]] student came in 1887, when Kelly Miller saught a degree in mathematics. The economic crisis two years later resulted in the school increasing tuition by 25%, 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.<ref name="timeline" /> Johns Hopkins had an all male student body until 1970, when the first female students arrived on campus.<ref name="timeline" />
