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>
