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">{{cite web|url=http://webapps.jhu.edu/jhuniverse/information_about_hopkins/about_jhu/chronology/index.cfm|work=Johns Hopkins University|title=Chronology|format=HTML|language=English}}</ref>

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.<ref name="timeline" /> Johns Hopkins had an all male student body until 1970, when the first female students arrived on campus.<ref name="timeline" />
