'''The Johns Hopkins University''' is an internationally prestigious private institution of higher learning located in [[Baltimore, Maryland|Baltimore]], [[Maryland]]. Johns Hopkins offers its main undergraduate and graduate programs at the Homewood Campus in Baltimore. The ''Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts & Sciences'' and the ''G.W.C. Whiting School of Engineering'' boast a wide spectrum in terms of its academic strengths, covering various fields from the social sciences and humanities to the natural sciences and engineering. In addition, the University maintains full-time campuses in greater Maryland, [[Washington, D.C.]], [[Italy]], and [[China]].


'''Johns Hopkins University'''{{efn|Officially '''The Johns Hopkins University''', per the university's seal}} (often abbreviated as '''Johns Hopkins''', '''Hopkins''', or '''JHU''') is a [[private university|private]] [[research university]] in [[Baltimore]], Maryland. Founded in 1876, Johns Hopkins was the first American university based on the European [[Research university|research institution]] model.<ref>{{cite web |title=Research at Johns Hopkins |url=https://research.jhu.edu/research-at-johns-hopkins |access-date=September 5, 2022 |website=Johns Hopkins University |archive-date=August 14, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220814155013/https://research.jhu.edu/research-at-johns-hopkins/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The university also has graduate campuses in Italy, China, and Washington, D.C.<ref>{{cite web |title=Our Campuses |url=https://www.jhu.edu/life/campuses/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191223075513/https://www.jhu.edu/life/campuses/ |archive-date=December 23, 2019 |access-date=December 27, 2019 |website=Johns Hopkins University |language=en}}</ref>

Johns Hopkins holds many "firsts" in American education: it was the first university in the United States to put an emphasis on research, founded on the [[German]] university model. As such, it was the first American university to teach through seminars, instead of solely through lectures. The University was the first in America to offer an undergraduate major (as opposed to a purely liberal arts curriculum) and the first American university to grant doctoral degrees. The Hopkins model set the standard in the United States for most large research universities, particularly [[The University of Chicago]].


While its primary campus is in [[Baltimore]], Johns Hopkins also maintains ten divisions on campuses in other [[Maryland]] locations, including [[Laurel, Maryland|Laurel]], [[Rockville, Maryland|Rockville]], [[Columbia, Maryland|Columbia]], [[Aberdeen, Maryland|Aberdeen]], [[California, Maryland|California]], [[Elkridge, Maryland|Elkridge]], and [[Owings Mills, Maryland|Owings Mills]].<ref name="History and Divisions" /> The two undergraduate divisions, the [[Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences]] and the [[Whiting School of Engineering]] are located on the [[Homewood Campus of Johns Hopkins University|Homewood campus]] in Baltimore's [[Charles Village, Baltimore|Charles Village]] neighborhood.<ref name="homewoodcampus" /> The [[Johns Hopkins School of Medicine|medical school]], [[Johns Hopkins School of Nursing|nursing school]], [[Bloomberg School of Public Health]], and [[Johns Hopkins Children's Center]] are located on the Medical Institutions campus in East Baltimore.<ref name="eastbaltimorecampus" /> The university also consists of the [[Peabody Institute]], [[Applied Physics Laboratory]], [[Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies]], [[Johns Hopkins School of Education|School of Education]], [[Carey Business School]], and [[List of Johns Hopkins University Research Centers and Institutes|various other facilities]].<ref name="hopkinscampuses" />
The University is named for [[Johns Hopkins]], who left [[US dollar|US$]]7,000,000 in his [[1867]] will for the foundation of the University and [[Johns Hopkins Hospital]] (at the time, it was the largest philanthropic bequest in [[United States]] history), the equivalent of approximately US$86,542,022 in the year 2003 (this personal gift only being surpassed by alumnus [[Michael Bloomberg]]'s total donation of US$100,000,000 during the 1990s). The University opened [[February 22]], [[1876]], with the stated goal of "The encouragement of research ... and the advancement of individual scholars, who by their excellence will advance the sciences they pursue, and the society where they dwell." The University's first president was visionary educator [[Daniel Coit Gilman]], and its motto in Latin is ''Veritas vos liberabit'' &ndash; "The truth shall make you free". The undergraduate student population at Hopkins was all male until [[1970]], though many graduate programs were integrated earlier.

The University was designed from the start to marry scholarship and research, and graduate education has always been of key importance. All students at Johns Hopkins are encouraged to pursue original research at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and nearly 80% of Johns Hopkins undergradates produce research by the time of graduation. Johns Hopkins receives more federal research grants than any other university in the [[United States]], which is vital considering its smaller endownment size relative to its peer institutions. The University is affiliated with 31 [[Nobel laureate]]s. It boasts a wide spectrum in terms of its academic strength covering various fields from international relations and art to humanities and social and natural sciences.


==History==
In 1900, Johns Hopkins was one of only fourteen Ph.D.-granting universities to found the [[Association of American Universities]] (AAU), along with [[Harvard]], [[Yale]], [[Stanford]], [[Columbia University|Columbia]], [[Cornell University|Cornell]], and other prominent institutions. The AAU is an organization of elite research universities devoted to maintaining a strong system of academic research and education.

[[File:Heidelberg Universitätsbibliothek 2003.jpg|thumb|The university model of [[Heidelberg University]] in [[Heidelberg]], Germany offered was replicated in the founding of Johns Hopkins University.]]
On his death in 1873, [[Johns Hopkins]], a [[Quakers|Quaker]] entrepreneur and childless bachelor, bequeathed $7&nbsp;million (approximately ${{Inflation|US|6.91|1873|fmt=c|r=1}} million today adjusted for consumer price inflation) to fund a hospital and university in [[Baltimore]].<ref name=":1">{{cite web|url = http://web.jhu.edu/administration/communications/documents/johnshopkinsfactbook.pdf|title = The Homewood Campus: Its Buildings, Monuments and Sculpture|date = 2010|access-date = March 2, 2015|url-status=live|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150226004827/http://web.jhu.edu/administration/communications/documents/johnshopkinsfactbook.pdf|archive-date = February 26, 2015|df = mdy-all}}</ref>


At the time, this donation, generated primarily from the [[Baltimore and Ohio Railroad]],<ref name="Who Was Johns Hopkins?"/> was the largest philanthropic gift in the history of the United States,<ref name="Facts at a Glance"/> and endowment was then the largest in America.<ref name="racial_record"/><!-- from the paywalled article: In 1873 the Harvard University endowment was $2.5 million. Princeton University then had an endowment of $470,000. --> Until 2020, Hopkins was assumed to be a fervent [[abolitionism|abolitionist]], until research done by the school into his [[United States Census]] records revealed he claimed to own at least five household slaves in the 1840 and 1850 decennial censuses.<ref>{{cite web|date=December 9, 2020|title=Reexamining the history of our founder|url=https://president.jhu.edu/meet-president-daniels/speeches-articles-and-media/reexamining-the-history-of-our-founder/|access-date=2020-12-14|website=Office of the President - JHU|archive-date=March 24, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210324133832/https://president.jhu.edu/meet-president-daniels/speeches-articles-and-media/reexamining-the-history-of-our-founder/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Schuessler |first1=Jennifer |title=Johns Hopkins Reveals That Its Founder Owned Slaves |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/09/arts/johns-hopkins-slavery-abolitionist.html |access-date=14 December 2020 |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=9 December 2020 |archive-date=December 14, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201214150948/https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/09/arts/johns-hopkins-slavery-abolitionist.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
In addition, people often mistakenly assume that Johns Hopkins' forename was "John" (much to the annoyance of alumni of the University and other informed persons). His forename is from a family surname. His great-grandmother, Margaret Johns, married Gerard Hopkins, who named their son Johns Hopkins, and whose name was passed on to his grandson born in 1795 (the University's founder). People are also often unaware of the exemplary humanities options available at Hopkins, and consider it to be an entirely science-and-medicine-oriented University. This is not the case. Johns Hopkins University has some of the most highly regarded programs in International Relations, Public Health, Writing Seminars, French, and more.


The first name of philanthropist Johns Hopkins comes from the surname of his great-grandmother, Margaret Johns, who married Gerard Hopkins.<ref name="Who Was Johns Hopkins?"/> They named their son Johns Hopkins, who named his own son Samuel Hopkins. Samuel named one of his sons for his father, and that son became the university's benefactor. [[Milton Eisenhower]], a former university president, once spoke at a convention in [[Pittsburgh]] where the [[master of ceremonies]] introduced him as "President of ''John'' Hopkins." Eisenhower retorted that he was "glad to be here in ''Pitt''burgh."<ref name="Cheesecake on the Tart Side"/>
In an excerpt from a commencement address from University President William R. Brody (May 2001):


The original board opted for an entirely novel university model dedicated to the discovery of knowledge at an advanced level, extending that of contemporary Germany.<ref name=muller/> Building on the [[Humboldtian model of higher education]], the [[Germany|German]] education model of [[Wilhelm von Humboldt]], it became dedicated to research. It was especially [[Heidelberg University]] and its long academic research history on which the new institution tried to model itself.<ref name=muller>{{cite book|title=A Spirit of Reason – Festschrift for Steven Muller|last=Janes|first=Jackson|year=2004|publisher=American Institute for Contemporary German Studies|location=[[Washington, D.C.]]|isbn=978-0-941441-88-9|oclc=179735617|page=15|url=http://www.aicgs.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/muller.pdf|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131213183552/http://www.aicgs.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/muller.pdf|archive-date=December 13, 2013}}</ref>{{failed verification|date=March 2020}} Johns Hopkins thereby became the model of the modern research university in the United States. Its success eventually shifted higher education in the United States from a focus on teaching revealed and/or applied knowledge to the scientific discovery of new knowledge.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Johns_Hopkins_University.aspx|title = Johns Hopkins University|date = 2003|access-date = March 2, 2015|website = Encyclopedia.com|last = Sander|first = Kathleen Waters|url-status=live|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150402172320/http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Johns_Hopkins_University.aspx|archive-date = April 2, 2015|df = mdy-all}}</ref> {{EB1911 poster|Johns Hopkins University|the Early History}}
"In 1888, just 12 years after the university was founded, Mark Twain wrote about this university in a letter to a friend. He said: "A few months ago I was told that the Johns Hopkins University had given me a degree. I naturally supposed this constituted me a Member of the Faculty, and so I started in to help as I could there. I told them I believed they were perfectly competent to run a college as far as the higher branches of education are concerned, but what they needed was a little help here and there from a practical commercial man. I said the public is sensitive to little things, and they wouldn't have full confidence in a college that didn't know how to spell the name 'John'."


===19th century===
More than a century later, we continue to bestow our diplomas only upon individuals of outstanding capabilities and great talent. And we continue to spell Johns with an 's'."

Gilman launched what many at the time considered an audacious and unprecedented academic experiment to merge teaching and research. He dismissed the idea that the two were mutually exclusive: "The best teachers are usually those who are free, competent and willing to make original researches in the library and the laboratory," he stated.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://krieger.jhu.edu/about/mission/|title = School History and Mission|access-date = March 4, 2015|website = Johns Hopkins Krieger School of Arts and Sciences|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150424024857/http://krieger.jhu.edu/about/mission/|archive-date = April 24, 2015|df = mdy-all}}</ref> To implement his plan, Gilman recruited internationally known researchers including the mathematician [[James Joseph Sylvester]]; the biologist [[H.

==Undergraduate education==
Johns Hopkins offers undergraduate programs based at the Homewood Campus, adjacent to [[Charles Village, Baltimore|Charles Village]] in northern Baltimore. The '''Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts &amp; Sciences''' and the '''G.W.C. Whiting School of Engineering''' are two of the three schools based at Homewood, with the third being the School of Professional Studies in Business and Education (SPSBE). Among the many strong undergraduate and graduate departments at Johns Hopkins are [[art history]], [[astronomy]], [[biology]], [[biomedical engineering]], [[biophysics]], creative writing (Writing Seminars), [[economics]], [[English studies|English]], [[environmental engineering]], film and media studies, [[German language|German]], [[history]], [[international studies]], Near Eastern studies, [[political science]], and Romance languages. Notably, the Biomedical Engineering Department is widely recognized as one of the best in the nation and the French Department was recognized as a "Center of Excellence" in the study of French culture and language by the government of [[France]], one of only four in the United States. Johns Hopkins also offers undergraduate degrees at the Peabody Conservatory and the School of Nursing. Through collaboration with its graduate schools, majors such as public health and international relations allow undergraduates to cross register and gain first hand experience in advanced studies through the Bloomberg School Of Public Health, SAIS, and the Johns Hopkins University Medical School. This unique experience promotes research opportunites among undergraduates with leading researchers in their respective fields, a rarity among other graduate focused research institutions. Although a valuable education is obtained through Hopkins, this is not without what many undergraduates call periods of trials and tribulations. As a challenging university with high admissions standards, classes are filled with highly able students preparing for the transition to graduate or professional school. At times, undergraduates may sacrifice their social lives, but always for the pursuit of higher knowledge. Those who take full advantage of the education and opportunities Hopkins has to offer often end up at their graduate or professional school of choice. A network of connections is offered at Hopkins through its prominent alumni and professors allowing for easier transitions be it graduate school or integration into the workforce.


With the completion of [[Johns Hopkins Hospital]] in 1889 and the [[Johns Hopkins School of Medicine|medical school]] in 1893, the university's research-focused mode of instruction soon began attracting world-renowned faculty members who would become major figures in the emerging field of academic medicine, including [[William Osler]], [[William Halsted]], [[Howard Atwood Kelly|Howard Kelly]], and [[William H.

==Graduate education== [[image:jhumedical.jpg|frame|The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in East Baltimore]]
In addition to graduate education at the schools of Arts &amp; Sciences and Engineering, Johns Hopkins also has several respected graduate professional schools.


In his will and in his instructions to the trustees of the university and the hospital, Hopkins requested that both institutions be built upon the vast grounds of his Baltimore estate, Clifton. When Gilman assumed the presidency, he decided that it would be best to use the university's endowment for recruiting faculty and students, deciding to, as it has been paraphrased, "build men, not buildings."<ref>{{Cite book|title = Founded by Friends: The Quaker Heritage of Fifteen American Colleges and Universities|last = Oliver| first = John W. Jr. |publisher = Scarecrow Press|year = 2007|location = Plymouth|page = 135}}</ref> In his will Hopkins stipulated that none of his endowment should be used for construction; only interest on the principal could be used for this purpose. Unfortunately, stocks in The [[Baltimore and Ohio Railroad]], which would have generated most of the interest, became virtually worthless soon after Hopkins's death. The university's first home was thus in Downtown Baltimore, delaying plans to site the university in Clifton.<ref name=":1" />
*The '''[[Johns Hopkins School of Medicine]]''' and the School of Nursing have exceptional reputations, and the '''[[Bloomberg School of Public Health]]''' is renowned for contributions worldwide to preventive medicine and the health of large populations.


===20th century===
*The [[Johns Hopkins SAIS|'''Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies''']] (simply referred to as "[[SAIS]]"), based in [[Washington, DC]], is one of the country's leading graduate schools devoted to the study of international relations and is recognized as a world leader in [[international affairs]], [[political economy]], [[diplomacy]], and [[policy]] research and education. SAIS has international campuses in Bologna, [[Italy]] and Nanjing, [[China]]. In addition, since 1990, SAIS has been one of only two non-law schools in the United States to participate in the prestigious Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition. Although SAIS students obviously enter the competition with a comparative disadvantage (all of those against whom they must compete have at least a year of law school), they have done remarkably well. Twice, SAIS has placed second overall out of 12 schools, and advanced to the “final four” in its region. In head-to-head competitions, SAIS has defeated first-class law schools such as the University of Virginia and the University of Maryland.

In the early 20th century, the university outgrew its buildings and the trustees began to search for a new home. Developing Clifton for the university was too costly, and {{convert|30|acres|0|abbr=on}} of the estate had to be sold to the city as public park. A solution was achieved by a team of prominent locals who acquired the estate in north Baltimore known as the [[Homewood Campus of Johns Hopkins University]]. On February 22, 1902, this land was formally transferred to the university. The flagship building, Gilman Hall, was completed in 1915. The [[Whiting School of Engineering|School of Engineering]] relocated in Fall of 1914 and the [[Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences]] followed in 1916. These decades saw the ceding of lands by the university for the public Wyman Park and Wyman Park Dell and the [[Baltimore Museum of Art]], coalescing in the contemporary area of {{convert|140|acre}}.<ref name=":1" />


Prior to becoming the main Johns Hopkins campus, the Homewood estate had initially been the gift of Charles Carroll of [[Carrollton, Maryland]], a planter and signer of the [[United States Declaration of Independence|Declaration of Independence]], to his son Charles Carroll Jr. The original structure, the 1801 [[Homewood Museum|Homewood House]], still stands and serves as an on-campus museum.<ref name=":2">{{cite web|url = http://www.museums.jhu.edu/homewood.php|title = Homewood House|access-date = March 4, 2015|website = JHU Museums|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150224222549/http://www.museums.jhu.edu/homewood.php|archive-date = February 24, 2015|df = mdy-all}}</ref> The brick and marble [[Federal architecture|Federal]] style of Homewood House became the architectural inspiration for much of the university campus versus the [[Collegiate Gothic]] style of other historic American universities.<ref name=":2" />
*The celebrated [[Peabody Conservatory of Music]], located in downtown [[Baltimore]], became a division of the University in [[1977]]. The Conservatory retains its own student body and grants its own degrees in musicology, though both Hopkins and Peabody students may take courses at both institutions.


In 1909, the university was among the first to start adult [[continuing education]] programs and in 1916 it founded the nation's first [[Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health|school of public health]].<ref>{{cite web|url = http://hub.jhu.edu/gazette/2012/september/leading-the-way-in-public-health|title = Leading the way in public health|date = September 2012|access-date = March 4, 2015|website = JHU Gazette|last = Edelson|first = Matt|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150402115321/http://hub.jhu.edu/gazette/2012/september/leading-the-way-in-public-health|archive-date = April 2, 2015|df = mdy-all}}</ref>
*The recently opened [[Information Security Institute]], located on the Homewood campus, is the newest addition to the graduate programs affiliated with Johns Hopkins. Opened in 2003, the Institute is the "University's focal point for research and education in information security, assurance and privacy."


Since the 1910s, Johns Hopkins University has famously been a "fertile cradle" to [[Arthur Lovejoy]]'s [[history of ideas]].<ref name="Paulson1970"/>
The University offers education abroad through centers in [[Germany]], [[Singapore]], and [[Italy]]. The University operates the '''[[Applied Physics Laboratory]]''' (APL) in [[Laurel, Maryland|Laurel]], [[Maryland]], which specializes in research for the U.S. [[Department of Defense]], [[NASA]] and other Government agencies. The '''[[Space Telescope Science Institute]]''' is located on the Hopkins campus and controls, analyzes, and collects data from the [[Hubble Space Telescope]].

The park-like main campus of Johns Hopkins, Homewood, is set on 140 acres (570,000 m&sup2) in the northern part of Baltimore. Much of the beautiful architecture dates from the nineteenth century, and is designed in the [[Georgian architecture|Georgian]] style. Most newer buildings resemble the Georgian style, being built of red brick with white marble trim, but lack the details. The campus was originally the estate of the [[Charles Carroll of Carrollton|Carroll]] family, whose residence was used for administrative offices but now is preserved as a museum. In addition, the renowned [[Baltimore Museum of Art]] is situated just next to the University's campus, and admission is free to students.

==Students==
Entrance to the college is among the most competitive in the country, with over 11,000 applicants for 1,000 places in the freshman class. Undergraduate students matriculate from all 50 states and over 40 countries. Within six years of graduation, 85% of Hopkins students earn graduate degrees, the highest percentage in the nation.


===21st century===
Approximately 1/3 of male undergraduates and 1/10 of females belong to the [[Fraternities and Sororities|Greek system]]. Most of the fraternities maintain houses off campus, but the sororities tend to not do so.
{{Further|Carey Business School|Johns Hopkins School of Education}}
The early decades of the 21st century saw expansion across the university's institutions in both physical and population sizes. Notably, a planned 88-acre expansion to the medical campus began in 2013.<ref name="Medical Campus Expansion" /> Completed construction on the [[Homewood campus]] has included a new [[biomedical engineering]] building in the [[Johns Hopkins Biomedical Engineering|Johns Hopkins University Department of Biomedical Engineering]], a new library, a new biology wing, an extensive renovation of the flagship Gilman Hall, and the reconstruction of the main university entrance.<ref name="Charles Street Reconstruction" />


These years also brought about the rapid development of the university's professional schools of education and business. From 1999 until 2007, these disciplines had been joined within the School of Professional Studies in Business and Education (SPSBE), itself a reshuffling of several earlier ventures. The 2007 split, combined with new funding and leadership initiatives, has led to the simultaneous emergence of the [[Johns Hopkins School of Education]] and the [[Carey Business School]].<ref name="new professional schools" />[[File:Legg mason tower.jpg|thumb|[[Legg Mason Tower]], home of the new [[Carey Business School]]]]On November 18, 2018, it was announced that [[Michael Bloomberg]] would make a donation to his alma mater of $1.8&nbsp;billion, marking the largest private donation in modern history to an institution of [[higher education]] and bringing Bloomberg's total contribution to the school in excess of $3.3&nbsp;billion.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/27/nyregion/at-1-1-billion-bloomberg-is-top-university-donor-in-us.html|title=$1.1 Billion in Thanks From Bloomberg to Johns Hopkins|date=January 27, 2013|work=The New York Times|access-date=February 27, 2017|archive-date=June 11, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170611114620/http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/27/nyregion/at-1-1-billion-bloomberg-is-top-university-donor-in-us.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Michael R.

==Student publications== [[image:Peabody.jpg|left|frame|The George Peabody Library (Mount Vernon Place)]]
Hopkins has several entirely student-run publications. Among those are:''The Johns Hopkins News-Letter'', ''The Black &amp; Blue Jay'', ''Zeniada'', ''j.mag'', and ''Prometheus''. The ''News-Letter'' is the oldest continuously-published college newspaper in the nation, founded in 1896, and is published weekly. The ''Black &amp; Blue Jay'' is among the nation's oldest humor magazines, founded in 1921, and is the inspiration for the University's mascot. ''Zeniada'' and ''j.mag'' are the university literary magazines. ''Prometheus'' is the undergraduate philosophy journal.


In January 2019, the university announced<ref>{{cite web|last1=Alexander|first1=Dave|date=2019-01-25|title=Johns Hopkins to acquire Newseum building in Washington, D.C.|url=https://hub.jhu.edu/2019/01/25/johns-hopkins-newseum-purchase-washington-dc/|access-date=2020-06-26|website=The Hub|language=en|archive-date=June 27, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200627050631/https://hub.jhu.edu/2019/01/25/johns-hopkins-newseum-purchase-washington-dc/|url-status=live}}</ref> an agreement to purchase the [[Newseum]], located at 555 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, in the heart of [[Washington, D.C.|Washington, D.C]]., with plans to locate all of its Washington, D.C.-based graduate programs there.

==Library system== [[Image:JHU Eisenhower Library.jpg|thumb|The Milton S. Eisenhower Library (Homewood) and the "Beach" (the grassy knoll)]]
The '''Milton S. Eisenhower Library''' (called "MSE" by students), located on the Homewood Campus, houses over 2.6 million volumes and over 20,000 journal subscriptions. The Eisenhower Library is a member of the University's Sheridan Libraries encompassing collections at the Albert D. Hutzler Reading Room in Gilman Hall, the John Work Garrett Library at Evergreen House, and the George Peabody Library at Mount Vernon Place. Together these collections provide the major research library resources for the University, serving Johns Hopkins academic programs worldwide.


In late 2019, the university's Coronavirus Research Center began tracking worldwide cases of the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] by compiling data from hundreds of sources around the world.<ref name=":3">{{cite web|url=https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/johns-hopkins-uni-corona-zahlen-101.html|title=Exklusiv: Woher die Johns-Hopkins-Zahlen zu Corona stammen|last1=Becker|first1=J.|last2=Hollstein|first2=R.|date=April 3, 2020|website=[[Tagesschau (German TV series)|Tagesschau]]|language=de|access-date=April 5, 2020|last3=Milatz|first3=M.|archive-date=April 4, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200404150346/https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/johns-hopkins-uni-corona-zahlen-101.html|url-status=live}}</ref> This led to the university becoming one of the most cited sources for data about the pandemic.<ref name=":3" />
Since tradition (and a little campus lore) dictates that no structure on campus can be taller than Gilman Hall (the oldest academic building), only two of the six stories of the library are above ground; the rest are beneath, though architects designed the building so that every level has windows and natural light. (In truth, there is no rule regarding building height; the library's design was chosen for architectural and aesthetic reasons when it was finally built in the 1960's. Prior "master plans" for campus design over the previous decades had included massive imposing buildings to house the library collections.)

Hopkins has separate sets of colors: Columbia blue and black for athletic uniforms, and sable and gold for academic robes, and it is the only university in the United States to celebrate Homecoming in the spring. Hopkins participates in the [[NCAA]]'s Division III and the [[Centennial Conference]]. The school's most prominent sports team is its Division I [[lacrosse]] team, which has won 42 national titles. Hopkins' collegiate [[lacrosse]] rivals are [[Princeton University]] and [[Syracuse University]], and intrastate rivals are the [[University of Maryland, College Park|University of Maryland]] and the [[United States Naval Academy]].

====Government and public service====
====Women====
Hopkins's most well-known battle for women's rights was the one led by daughters of trustees of the university; [[Mary Garrett|Mary E. Garrett]], [[M. Carey Thomas]], Mamie Gwinn, Elizabeth King, and Julia Rogers.<ref name="women"/> They donated and raised the funds needed to open the medical school, and required Hopkins's officials to agree to their stipulation that women would be admitted. The [[nursing school]] opened in 1889 and accepted women and men as students.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://webapps.jhu.edu/jhuniverse/information_about_hopkins/about_jhu/chronology/|title = The Johns Hopkins University- Chronology|access-date = March 4, 2015|website = webapps.jhu.edu|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150228234400/http://webapps.jhu.edu/jhuniverse/information%5Fabout%5Fhopkins/about%5Fjhu/chronology/|archive-date = February 28, 2015|df = mdy-all}}</ref> Other graduate schools were later opened to women by president [[Ira Remsen]] in 1907. [[Christine Ladd-Franklin]] was the first woman to earn a PhD at Hopkins, in mathematics in 1882.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www2.webster.edu/~woolflm/christineladd.html|title = Christine Ladd-Franklin|access-date = March 4, 2015|website = Women's Intellectual Contributions to the Study of Mind and Society|last = Ragsdale|first = Samantha|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150421023720/http://www2.webster.edu/~woolflm/christineladd.html|archive-date = April 21, 2015|df = mdy-all}}</ref> The trustees denied her the degree for decades and refused to change the policy about admitting women. In 1893, Florence Bascomb became the university's first female PhD.<ref name=women/> The decision to admit women at undergraduate level was not considered until the late 1960s and was eventually adopted in October 1969. As of 2009–2010, the undergraduate population was 47% female and 53% male.<ref name="Johns Hopkins University"/> In 2020, the undergraduate population of Hopkins was 53% female.<ref>{{cite web|title=Johns Hopkins University|url=https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/jhu-2077|website=USNews|access-date=January 29, 2021|archive-date=January 28, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210128233649/https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/jhu-2077|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Johns Hopkins University - Student Population And Demographics|url=https://www.collegetuitioncompare.com/edu/162928/johns-hopkins-university/enrollment/|access-date=2021-01-29|website=College Tuition Compare|language=en|archive-date=January 24, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210124102847/https://www.collegetuitioncompare.com/edu/162928/johns-hopkins-university/enrollment|url-status=live}}</ref>

====Freedom of speech====
On September 5, 2013, cryptographer and Johns Hopkins university professor [[Matthew D. Green|Matthew Green]] posted a blog entitled, "On the NSA", in which he contributed to the ongoing debate regarding the role of [[NIST]] and [[NSA]] in formulating U.S. [[cryptography]] standards. On September 9, 2013, Green received a take-down request for the "On the NSA" blog from interim Dean Andrew Douglas from the Johns Hopkins University [[Whiting School of Engineering]].<ref name="GuardianOnTakeDown"/> The request cited concerns that the blog had links to sensitive material. The blog linked to already published news articles from ''[[The Guardian]]'', ''[[The New York Times]]'', and [[ProPublica.org]]. Douglas subsequently issued a personal on-line apology to Green.<ref name="DaraKerrOnApology"/> The event raised concern over the future of academic freedom of speech within the cryptologic research community.

The first campus was located on Howard Street. Eventually, they relocated to Homewood, in northern Baltimore, the estate of Charles Carroll, son of the oldest surviving signer of the [[United States Declaration of Independence|Declaration of Independence]]. Carroll's [[Homewood House]] is considered one of the finest examples of Federal residential architecture. The estate then came to the Wyman family, which participated in making it the park-like main campus of the schools of arts and sciences and engineering at the start of the 20th century. Most of its architecture was modeled after the [[Federal architecture|Federal style]] of [[Homewood House]]. Homewood House is preserved as a museum. Most undergraduate programs are on this campus.<ref>{{cite web|title=Homewood Museum|url=https://museums.jhu.edu/homewood-museum/|access-date=2022-01-24|website=Johns Hopkins University Museums|language=en|archive-date=January 21, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220121145422/https://museums.jhu.edu/homewood-museum/|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Organization==
The Johns Hopkins entity is structured as two corporations, the university and The Johns Hopkins Health System, formed in 1986. The President is JHU's chief executive officer, and the university is organized into nine academic divisions.<ref name=overview/>

JHU's bylaws specify a Board of Trustees of between 18 and 65 voting members. Trustees serve six-year terms subject to a two-term limit. The alumni select 12 trustees. Four recent alumni serve 4-year terms, one per year, typically from the graduating class. The bylaws prohibit students, faculty or administrative staff from serving on the Board, except the President as an ex-officio trustee.<ref name="Bylaws"/> The Johns Hopkins Health System has a separate Board of Trustees, many of whom are doctors or health care executives.<ref name="Johns Hopkins Medicine Adds Four to Board"/>

==Academics==
The full-time, four-year undergraduate program is "most selective" with low transfer-in and a high graduate co-existence.<ref name="Carnegie"/> The Princeton Review rates the selectivity of Johns Hopkins as 99/99. The cost of attendance per year is approximately $77,400.<ref>{{cite web|title=Tuition and Costs|url=https://apply.jhu.edu/affording-hopkins/tuition-costs/|access-date=2021-08-01|website=Undergraduate Admissions {{!}} Johns Hopkins University|language=en|archive-date=August 1, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210801125929/https://apply.jhu.edu/affording-hopkins/tuition-costs/|url-status=live}}</ref> However, 51% of full-time undergraduates receive financial aid covering 100% of their need.<ref>{{cite web|title=Overview of Johns Hopkins University|url=https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/jhu-2077|access-date=Aug 1, 2021|website=US News|archive-date=August 1, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210801190808/https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/jhu-2077|url-status=live}}</ref> The admit rate of Hopkins undergraduates to medical school is 80% and to law school is 97%, some of the highest rates in the US.<ref name=":7">{{cite web|title=Get The Facts|url=https://apply.jhu.edu/discover-jhu/get-the-facts/|access-date=2021-08-01|website=Undergraduate Admissions {{!}} Johns Hopkins University|language=en|archive-date=March 29, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170329170619/https://apply.jhu.edu/discover/by-the-numbers/|url-status=live}}</ref> The university is one of fourteen founding members of the [[Association of American Universities]] (AAU); it is also a member of the [[Consortium on Financing Higher Education]] (COFHE) and the [[Universities Research Association]] (URA).

[[Early Decision]] I is an option at Johns Hopkins University for students who wish to demonstrate that the university is their first choice. These students, if admitted, are required to enroll. This application is due November 1. There is also another binding Early Decision II application due January 3. Many students, however, apply Regular Decision, which is a traditional non-binding round. These applications are due January 3 and students are notified in mid-March. The cost to apply to Hopkins is $70, though fee waivers are available. In 2014, Johns Hopkins ended legacy preference in admissions.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/01/why-we-ended-legacy-admissions-johns-hopkins/605131/|title=Why We Ended Legacy Admissions at Johns Hopkins|last=Daniels|first=Ronald J.|date=January 18, 2020|website=The Atlantic|language=en-US|access-date=January 19, 2020|archive-date=January 19, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200119000059/https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/01/why-we-ended-legacy-admissions-johns-hopkins/605131/|url-status=live}}</ref> Johns Hopkins practices [[need-blind admission]] and meets the full financial need of all admitted students.<ref>{{cite news|date=2018-11-26|title=Bloomberg's record gift helps Johns Hopkins realize key goal of need-blind admissions|url=https://hub.jhu.edu/2018/11/26/michael-bloomberg-historic-donation-johns-hopkins/|access-date=2021-08-01|website=The Hub|language=en|archive-date=August 1, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210801125930/https://hub.jhu.edu/2018/11/26/michael-bloomberg-historic-donation-johns-hopkins/|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Libraries===
{{Further|George Peabody Library}}
[[File:George-peabody-library.jpg|thumb|The [[George Peabody Library]] at Johns Hopkins University]]
The Johns Hopkins University Library system houses more than 3.6 million volumes<ref name="American Library Association Fact Sheet"/> and includes ten main divisions across the university's campuses. The largest segment of this system is the Sheridan Libraries, encompassing the [[Milton S. Eisenhower Library]] (the main library of the [[Homewood campus]]), the Brody Learning Commons, the Hutzler Reading Room ("The Hut") in Gilman Hall, the John Work Garrett Library at [[Evergreen House]], and the [[George Peabody Library]] at the [[Peabody Institute]] campus.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.library.jhu.edu/about.html|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120923195237/http://www.library.jhu.edu/about.html|archive-date = September 23, 2012|title = The Sheridan Libraries|access-date = March 4, 2015|website = library.jhu.edu}}</ref>

The main library, constructed in the 1960s, was named for [[Milton S. Eisenhower]], former president of the university and brother of former U.S. president [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]]. The university's stacks had previously been housed in Gilman Hall and departmental libraries.<ref name="gil"/> Only two of the Eisenhower library's six stories are above ground, though the building was designed so that every level receives natural light. The design accords with campus lore that no structure can be taller than Gilman Hall, the flagship academic building. A four-story expansion to the library, known as the Brody Learning Commons, opened in August 2012. The expansion features an energy-efficient, state-of-the-art technology infrastructure and includes study spaces, seminar rooms, and a rare books collection.<ref name="JHU News Releases">{{cite web|title=Brody Learning Commons Opens at Johns Hopkins' Homewood Campus|url=http://releases.jhu.edu/2012/09/04/brody-learning-commons-opens-at-johns-hopkins-homewood-campus/|publisher=JHU|access-date=December 27, 2012|archive-date=January 28, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130128060301/http://releases.jhu.edu/2012/09/04/brody-learning-commons-opens-at-johns-hopkins-homewood-campus/|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Johns Hopkins University Press===
{{Main|Johns Hopkins University Press}}
The Johns Hopkins University Press is the publishing division of the Johns Hopkins University. It was founded in 1878 and holds the distinction of being the oldest continuously running [[university press]] in the United States.<ref name="About the Press"/> To date the Press has published more than 6,000 titles and currently publishes 65 scholarly periodicals and over 200 new books each year. Since 1993, the Johns Hopkins University Press has run [[Project MUSE]], an online collection of over 250 full-text, peer-reviewed journals in the humanities and social sciences. The Press also houses the Hopkins Fulfilment Services (HFS), which handles distribution for a number of university presses and publishers. Taken together, the three divisions of the Press—Books, Journals (including MUSE) and HFS—make it one of the largest of America's university presses.

=== Center for Talented Youth ===
{{Main|Center for Talented Youth}}
The Johns Hopkins University also offers the [[Center for Talented Youth]] program, a nonprofit organization dedicated to identifying and developing the talents of the most promising K-12 grade students worldwide. As part of the Johns Hopkins University, the "Center for Talented Youth" or CTY helps fulfill the university's mission of preparing students to make significant future contributions to the world.<ref>{{cite web|title=Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth|url=http://cty.jhu.edu/support/docs/CTY-Scholarship-Brochure.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160611162916/http://cty.jhu.edu/support/docs/CTY-Scholarship-Brochure.pdf|archive-date=June 11, 2016}}</ref> The Johns Hopkins Digital Media Center (DMC) is a multimedia lab space as well as an equipment, technology and knowledge resource for students interested in exploring creative uses of emerging media and use of technology.<ref>{{cite web|title=Digital Media Center|url=http://digitalmedia.jhu.edu/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140628080726/http://digitalmedia.jhu.edu/|archive-date=June 28, 2014|access-date=May 23, 2014|work=digitalmedia.jhu.edu}}</ref>

=== Degrees offered ===
Johns Hopkins offers a number of degrees in various undergraduate majors leading to the BA and BS and various majors leading to the MA, MS and PhD for graduate students.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://krieger.jhu.edu/academics/fields/|title = Fields of Study|access-date = March 11, 2015|website = Krieger School of Arts and Sciences|publisher = Johns Hopkins University|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150317222032/http://krieger.jhu.edu/academics/fields/|archive-date = March 17, 2015|df = mdy-all}}</ref> Because Hopkins offers both undergraduate and graduate areas of study, many disciplines have multiple degrees available. [[Biomedical engineering]], perhaps one of Hopkins's best-known programs, offers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://engineering.jhu.edu/fields-of-study/biomedical-engineering/|title = Biomedical Engineering|access-date = March 11, 2015|website = Whiting School of Engineering|publisher = Johns Hopkins University|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150303094526/http://engineering.jhu.edu/fields-of-study/biomedical-engineering/|archive-date = March 3, 2015|df = mdy-all}}</ref>

The opportunity to participate in important research is one of the distinguishing characteristics of Hopkins's undergraduate education. About 80 percent of undergraduates perform independent research, often alongside top researchers.<ref name="Carnegie"/><ref name="Johns Hopkins News Release – JHU"/> In fiscal year 2020, Johns Hopkins spent nearly $3.1 billion on research, more than any other U.S. university for over 40 consecutive years.<ref name="June">{{cite news |last1=June |first1=Audrey Williams |title=Where Research Spending Keeps Going Up |url=https://www.chronicle.com/article/where-research-spending-keeps-going-up |access-date=April 21, 2023 |work=The Chronicle of Higher Education |date=January 11, 2022 |archive-date=April 21, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230421155710/https://www.chronicle.com/article/where-research-spending-keeps-going-up |url-status=live }}</ref> Johns Hopkins has had seventy-seven members of the [[Institute of Medicine]], forty-three [[Howard Hughes Medical Institute]] Investigators, seventeen members of the [[National Academy of Engineering]], and sixty-two members of the [[National Academy of Sciences]]. As of October 2019, 39 Nobel Prize winners have been affiliated with the university as alumni, faculty members or researchers, with the most recent winners being [[Gregg L. Semenza|Gregg Semenza]] and [[William Kaelin Jr.|William G. Kaelin]].<ref name="The Johns Hopkins University: Nobel Prize Winners"/>

Between 1999 and 2009, Johns Hopkins was among the most cited institutions in the world. It attracted nearly 1,222,166 citations and produced 54,022 papers under its name, ranking third globally after [[Harvard University]] and the [[Max Planck Society]] in the number of ''total'' citations published in Thomson Reuters-indexed journals over 22 fields in America.<ref name="ScienceWatch.com"/> In 2020, Johns Hopkins University ranked 5 in number of utility patents granted out of all institutions in the world.<ref>{{cite web|title=Top 100 Worldwide Universities Granted U.S Utility Patents 202|url=https://academyofinventors.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/NAI-IPO-Top-100-Universities-Granted-U.S.-Utility-Patents-2020.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/https://academyofinventors.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/NAI-IPO-Top-100-Universities-Granted-U.S.-Utility-Patents-2020.pdf |archive-date=2022-10-09 |url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2000, Johns Hopkins received $95.4&nbsp;million in research grants from the [[National Aeronautics and Space Administration]] (NASA), making it the leading recipient of [[NASA]] [[research and development]] funding.<ref name="JHU_NASA_R&D_2000"/> In FY 2002, Hopkins became the first university to cross the $1&nbsp;billion threshold on either list, recording $1.14&nbsp;billion in total research and $1.023&nbsp;billion in federally sponsored research. In FY 2008, Johns Hopkins University performed $1.68&nbsp;billion in science, medical and engineering research, making it the leading U.S. academic institution in total R&D spending for the 30th year in a row, according to a [[National Science Foundation]] (NSF) ranking.<ref name="ascribe_oct09_r&d"/> These totals include grants and expenditures of JHU's Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland.

In 2013, the [[Bloomberg Distinguished Professorships]] program was established by a $250&nbsp;million gift from [[Michael Bloomberg]]. This program enables the university to recruit fifty researchers from around the world to joint appointments throughout the nine divisions and research centers. Each professor must be a leader in [[interdisciplinary]] research and be active in [[undergraduate education]].<ref name=anderson>Anderson, Nick.

[[Charles Village, Baltimore|Charles Village]], the region of North Baltimore surrounding the university, has undergone several restoration projects, and the university has gradually bought the property around the school for additional student housing and dormitories. ''The Charles Village Project'', completed in 2008, brought new commercial spaces to the neighborhood. The project included Charles (now Scott-Bates) Commons, a new, modern residence hall that includes popular retail franchises.<ref name="Charles Commons"/><ref name="einsteinbros"/> In 2015, the university began development of new commercial properties, including a modern upperclassmen apartment complex, restaurants and eateries, and a CVS retail store.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hub.jhu.edu/2015/03/26/st-paul-project-groundbreaking/|title=Construction begins on mixed-use development project near JHU's Homewood campus|date=March 26, 2015|website=The Hub|access-date=February 18, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170218145242/http://hub.jhu.edu/2015/03/26/st-paul-project-groundbreaking/|archive-date=February 18, 2017}}</ref>

Hopkins invested in improving campus life with an arts complex in 2001, the Mattin Center, and a three-story sports facility, the O'Connor Recreation Center. The large on-campus dining facilities at Homewood were renovated in the summer of 2006. The Mattin Center was demolished in 2021 to make room for the new Student Center scheduled to open in the fall of 2024.

Quality of life is enriched by the proximity of neighboring academic institutions, including [[Loyola College in Maryland|Loyola College]], [[Maryland Institute College of Art|Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA)]], [[UMBC]], [[Goucher College]], and [[Towson University]], as well as the nearby neighborhoods of [[Hampden, Baltimore|Hampden]], the [[Inner Harbor]], [[Fells Point]], and [[Mount Vernon, Baltimore|Mount Vernon]].

Students and alumni are active on and off campus. Johns Hopkins has been home to several [[Secret society|secret societies]], many of which are now [[List of defunct Johns Hopkins University societies|defunct]]. Blue Jay Supper Society is the only active secret society with open applications.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Blue Jay Supper Society |url=https://bluejaysuppersociety.com/ |access-date=2022-04-18 |website=bluejaysuppersociety.com}}</ref> Membership is open to undergraduate and graduate students as well as alumni.

=== Fraternity and sorority life ===
[[Fraternities and sororities|Fraternity and sorority]] life came to Hopkins in 1876 with the chartering of [[Beta Theta Pi]] fraternity, which still exists on campus today.<ref>{{cite web|url = https://studentlifeatjhu.wordpress.com/greek-life-at-hopkins/origins-of-greek-life-at-hopkins/|title = The Beginning of Greek Life at Hopkins|date = March 6, 2014|access-date = February 26, 2015|website = Student Life @ Hopkins|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150226233213/https://studentlifeatjhu.wordpress.com/greek-life-at-hopkins/origins-of-greek-life-at-hopkins/|archive-date = February 26, 2015|df = mdy-all}}</ref> Since, Johns Hopkins has become home to nine sororities and 11 fraternities. Of the nine sororities, five belong to the [[National Panhellenic Conference]] and four to the Multicultural Greek Council Sororities. Of the fraternities, all 11 belong to the Inter-Fraternity Council. Over 1,000 students participate in Fraternity and Sorority Life, with 23% of women and 20% of men taking part.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://web.jhu.edu/studentlife/greek_life/FSL_Prospective_Members_Folder/organizationlist.html|title = Rosters of Fraternities and Sororities at the Johns Hopkins University|access-date = February 26, 2015|website = Johns Hopkins University Student Life|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150226215237/http://web.jhu.edu/studentlife/greek_life/FSL_Prospective_Members_Folder/organizationlist.html|archive-date = February 26, 2015|df = mdy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url = https://apply.jhu.edu/facts/studentlife/|title = Student Life Facts|access-date = February 25, 2015|publisher = Johns Hopkins University|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141220000523/https://apply.jhu.edu/facts/studentlife/|archive-date = December 20, 2014|df = mdy-all}}</ref> Fraternity and Sorority Life has expanded its reach at Hopkins in recent decades, as only 15% of the student body participated in 1989.<ref>{{cite web|url = https://studentlifeatjhu.wordpress.com/greek-life-at-hopkins/origins-of-greek-life-at-hopkins/|title = The Beginning of Greek Life at Hopkins|date = March 6, 2014|access-date = February 26, 2015|website = Student Life @ JHU|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150226233213/https://studentlifeatjhu.wordpress.com/greek-life-at-hopkins/origins-of-greek-life-at-hopkins/|archive-date = February 26, 2015|df = mdy-all}}</ref> [[Alpha Phi Alpha]], a historically black fraternity, was founded in 1991, [[Lambda Phi Epsilon]], an Asian-interest fraternity, was founded in 1994, and [[Lambda Upsilon Lambda]], a Latino-interest fraternity, was founded in 1995.<ref>{{cite web|url = https://studentlifeatjhu.wordpress.com/greek-life-at-hopkins/origins-of-greek-life-at-hopkins/|title = The Beginning of Greek Life at Hopkins|date = 2015|access-date = February 26, 2015|website = Student Life @ JHU|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150226233213/https://studentlifeatjhu.wordpress.com/greek-life-at-hopkins/origins-of-greek-life-at-hopkins/|archive-date = February 26, 2015|df = mdy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.lulphi.org/phatal-phi | title=La Unidad Latina | access-date=August 14, 2022 | archive-date=August 14, 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220814234734/https://www.lulphi.org/phatal-phi | url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.columbia.edu/cu/lul/chaptersframe.htm|title=Chapters of La Unidad Latina, Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity, Inc.|website=www.columbia.edu|access-date=August 14, 2022|archive-date=September 20, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220920173956/http://www.columbia.edu/cu/lul/chaptersframe.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> Rush for all students occurs in the spring.

=== Spring Fair ===
Spring Fair has been a Johns Hopkins tradition since 1972 and has since grown to be the largest student-run festival in the country.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.jhuspringfair.com|title = Spring Fair|date = 2015|access-date = February 26, 2015|website = JHU Spring Fair|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150226235741/http://www.jhuspringfair.com/|archive-date = February 26, 2015|df = mdy-all}}</ref> Popular among Hopkins students and Baltimore inhabitants alike, Spring Fair features carnival rides, vendors, food and a [[beer garden]]. Since its beginning, Spring Fair has decreased in size, both in regard to attendance and utilization of space. While one point, the Fair attracted upwards of 100,000 people, it became unruly and, for a variety of reasons including safety concerns and a campus beautification project in the early 2000s, had to be scaled back.<ref>{{cite web|url = https://studentlifeatjhu.wordpress.com/spring-fair/|title = Spring Fair|date = March 5, 2014|access-date = February 26, 2015|website = Student Life @ JHU|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150227003345/https://studentlifeatjhu.wordpress.com/spring-fair/|archive-date = February 27, 2015|df = mdy-all}}</ref>

=== Traditions ===
While it has been speculated that Johns Hopkins has relatively few traditions for a school of its age and that many past traditions have been forgotten, a handful of myths and customs are ubiquitous knowledge among the community.<ref name="traditions"/> One such long-standing myth surrounds the university seal that is embedded into the floor of the Gilman Hall foyer. The myth holds that any current student to step on the seal will never graduate. In reverence for this tradition, the seal has been fenced off from the rest of the room.

An annual event is the "Lighting of the Quads", a ceremony each winter during which the campus is lit up in holiday lights. Recent years have included singing and fireworks.

===Housing===
[[File:AMR I, JHU.jpg|thumb|Alumni Memorial Residence I, a freshman dormitory on the [[Baltimore]] campus]]
Living on campus is typically required for first- and second-year undergraduates.<ref name="Johns Hopkins Freshman Room Selection Brochure"/> Freshman housing is centered around Freshman Quad, which consists of three residence hall complexes: The two Alumni Memorial Residences (AMR I and AMR II) plus Buildings A and B. The AMR dormitories are each divided into ''houses'', subunits named for figures from the university's early history. Freshmen are also housed in Wolman Hall and in certain wings of McCoy Hall, both located slightly outside the campus. Dorms at Hopkins are generally co-ed with same-gender rooms, though a new policy has allowed students to live in mixed-gender rooms since Fall 2014.<ref name="Gender Inclusive Housing"/><ref name="Freshman Residence Halls"/>

Students determine where they will live during sophomore year through a housing lottery. Most juniors and seniors move into nearby apartments or row-houses. Non-freshmen in university housing occupy one of four buildings: McCoy Hall, the Bradford Apartments, the Homewood Apartments, and Scott-Bates Commons.<ref name="Freshman Room Selection"/> All are located in [[Charles Village]] within a block from the [[Homewood campus]]. Forty-five percent of the student body lives off-campus while 55% lives on campus.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/jhu-2077/student-life|title = Johns Hopkins University Student Life|access-date = February 26, 2015|website = U.S. News & World Report|url-status=live|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150215115940/http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/jhu-2077/student-life|archive-date = February 15, 2015|df = mdy-all}}</ref>

Johns Hopkins University[a] (often abbreviated as Johns Hopkins, Hopkins, or JHU) is a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland. Founded in 1876, Johns Hopkins was the first American university based on the European research institution model.[6] The university also has graduate campuses in Italy, China, and Washington, D.C.[7]

The university was named for its first benefactor, the American entrepreneur and Quaker philanthropist Johns Hopkins.[8] Hopkins's $7 million bequest to establish the university was the largest philanthropic gift in U.S. history up to that time.[9][10] Daniel Coit Gilman, who was inaugurated as Johns Hopkins's first president on February 22, 1876,[11] led the university to revolutionize higher education in the U.S. by integrating teaching and research.[12] In 1900, Johns Hopkins became a founding member of the American Association of Universities.[13] The university has led all U.S. universities in annual research and development expenditures for over four consecutive decades ($3.18 billion as of fiscal year 2021).[14][15]

While its primary campus is in Baltimore, Johns Hopkins also maintains ten divisions on campuses in other Maryland locations, including Laurel, Rockville, Columbia, Aberdeen, California, Elkridge, and Owings Mills.[16] The two undergraduate divisions, the Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and the Whiting School of Engineering are located on the Homewood campus in Baltimore's Charles Village neighborhood.[17] The medical school, nursing school, Bloomberg School of Public Health, and Johns Hopkins Children's Center are located on the Medical Institutions campus in East Baltimore.[18] The university also consists of the Peabody Institute, Applied Physics Laboratory, Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, School of Education, Carey Business School, and various other facilities.[19]

Founded in 1883, the Blue Jays men's lacrosse team has captured 44 national titles[20] and plays in the Big Ten Conference as an affiliate member.[21] The university's other sports teams compete in Division III of the NCAA as members of the Centennial Conference.

History[edit]

Philanthropic beginnings and foundation[edit]

Johns Hopkins, the university's namesake whose philanthropic gift in 1873 established the university, Johns Hopkins Hospital, and the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
The university model of Heidelberg University in Heidelberg, Germany offered was replicated in the founding of Johns Hopkins University.

On his death in 1873, Johns Hopkins, a Quaker entrepreneur and childless bachelor, bequeathed $7 million (approximately $175.7 million today adjusted for consumer price inflation) to fund a hospital and university in Baltimore.[22]

At the time, this donation, generated primarily from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,[23] was the largest philanthropic gift in the history of the United States,[9] and endowment was then the largest in America.[10] Until 2020, Hopkins was assumed to be a fervent abolitionist, until research done by the school into his United States Census records revealed he claimed to own at least five household slaves in the 1840 and 1850 decennial censuses.[24][25]

The first name of philanthropist Johns Hopkins comes from the surname of his great-grandmother, Margaret Johns, who married Gerard Hopkins.[23] They named their son Johns Hopkins, who named his own son Samuel Hopkins. Samuel named one of his sons for his father, and that son became the university's benefactor. Milton Eisenhower, a former university president, once spoke at a convention in Pittsburgh where the master of ceremonies introduced him as "President of John Hopkins." Eisenhower retorted that he was "glad to be here in Pittburgh."[26]

The original board opted for an entirely novel university model dedicated to the discovery of knowledge at an advanced level, extending that of contemporary Germany.[27] Building on the Humboldtian model of higher education, the German education model of Wilhelm von Humboldt, it became dedicated to research. It was especially Heidelberg University and its long academic research history on which the new institution tried to model itself.[27][failed verification] Johns Hopkins thereby became the model of the modern research university in the United States. Its success eventually shifted higher education in the United States from a focus on teaching revealed and/or applied knowledge to the scientific discovery of new knowledge.[28]

19th century[edit]

The trustees worked alongside four notable university presidents, Charles W. Eliot of Harvard University, Andrew D. White of Cornell University, Noah Porter of Yale College, and James B. Angell of University of Michigan. They each supported Daniel Coit Gilman to lead the new university and he became the university's first president.[29] Gilman, a Yale-educated scholar, had been serving as president of the University of California, Berkeley prior to this appointment.[29] In preparation for the university's founding, Gilman visited University of Freiburg and other German universities.

Gilman launched what many at the time considered an audacious and unprecedented academic experiment to merge teaching and research. He dismissed the idea that the two were mutually exclusive: "The best teachers are usually those who are free, competent and willing to make original researches in the library and the laboratory," he stated.[30] To implement his plan, Gilman recruited internationally known researchers including the mathematician James Joseph Sylvester; the biologist H. Newell Martin; the physicist Henry A. Rowland, the first president of the American Physical Society, the classical scholars Basil Gildersleeve, and Charles D. Morris;[31] the economist Richard T. Ely; and the chemist Ira Remsen, who became the second president of the university in 1901.[32]

Gilman focused on the expansion of graduate education and support of faculty research. The new university fused advanced scholarship with such professional schools as medicine and engineering. Hopkins became the national trendsetter in doctoral programs and the host for numerous scholarly journals and associations.[33] The Johns Hopkins University Press, founded in 1878, is the oldest American university press in continuous operation.[34]

With the completion of Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1889 and the medical school in 1893, the university's research-focused mode of instruction soon began attracting world-renowned faculty members who would become major figures in the emerging field of academic medicine, including William Osler, William Halsted, Howard Kelly, and William Welch.[35] Students came from all over the world to study at Johns Hopkins and returned to their sending country to serve their nation, including Dr Harry Chung (b. 1872) who served as a diplomat in the Manchu Dynasty and First Secretary to the United States. During this period Hopkins made more history by becoming the first medical school to admit women on an equal basis with men and to require a Bachelor's degree, based on the efforts of Mary E. Garrett, who had endowed the school at Gilman's request.[36] The school of medicine was America's first coeducational, graduate-level medical school, and became a prototype for academic medicine that emphasized bedside learning, research projects, and laboratory training.

In his will and in his instructions to the trustees of the university and the hospital, Hopkins requested that both institutions be built upon the vast grounds of his Baltimore estate, Clifton. When Gilman assumed the presidency, he decided that it would be best to use the university's endowment for recruiting faculty and students, deciding to, as it has been paraphrased, "build men, not buildings."[37] In his will Hopkins stipulated that none of his endowment should be used for construction; only interest on the principal could be used for this purpose. Unfortunately, stocks in The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which would have generated most of the interest, became virtually worthless soon after Hopkins's death. The university's first home was thus in Downtown Baltimore, delaying plans to site the university in Clifton.[22]

20th century[edit]

In the early 20th century, the university outgrew its buildings and the trustees began to search for a new home. Developing Clifton for the university was too costly, and 30 acres (12 ha) of the estate had to be sold to the city as public park. A solution was achieved by a team of prominent locals who acquired the estate in north Baltimore known as the Homewood Campus of Johns Hopkins University. On February 22, 1902, this land was formally transferred to the university. The flagship building, Gilman Hall, was completed in 1915. The School of Engineering relocated in Fall of 1914 and the Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences followed in 1916. These decades saw the ceding of lands by the university for the public Wyman Park and Wyman Park Dell and the Baltimore Museum of Art, coalescing in the contemporary area of 140 acres (57 ha).[22]

Prior to becoming the main Johns Hopkins campus, the Homewood estate had initially been the gift of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Maryland, a planter and signer of the Declaration of Independence, to his son Charles Carroll Jr. The original structure, the 1801 Homewood House, still stands and serves as an on-campus museum.[38] The brick and marble Federal style of Homewood House became the architectural inspiration for much of the university campus versus the Collegiate Gothic style of other historic American universities.[38]

In 1909, the university was among the first to start adult continuing education programs and in 1916 it founded the nation's first school of public health.[39]

Since the 1910s, Johns Hopkins University has famously been a "fertile cradle" to Arthur Lovejoy's history of ideas.[40]

Since 1942, the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) has served as a major governmental defense contractor. In tandem with on-campus research, Johns Hopkins has every year since 1979 had the highest federal research funding of any American university.[41]

Professional schools of international affairs and music were established in 1950 and 1977, respectively, when the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies[42] in Washington, D.C., and the Peabody Institute[43] in Baltimore were incorporated into the university.

21st century[edit]

The early decades of the 21st century saw expansion across the university's institutions in both physical and population sizes. Notably, a planned 88-acre expansion to the medical campus began in 2013.[44] Completed construction on the Homewood campus has included a new biomedical engineering building in the Johns Hopkins University Department of Biomedical Engineering, a new library, a new biology wing, an extensive renovation of the flagship Gilman Hall, and the reconstruction of the main university entrance.[45]

These years also brought about the rapid development of the university's professional schools of education and business. From 1999 until 2007, these disciplines had been joined within the School of Professional Studies in Business and Education (SPSBE), itself a reshuffling of several earlier ventures. The 2007 split, combined with new funding and leadership initiatives, has led to the simultaneous emergence of the Johns Hopkins School of Education and the Carey Business School.[46]

On November 18, 2018, it was announced that Michael Bloomberg would make a donation to his alma mater of $1.8 billion, marking the largest private donation in modern history to an institution of higher education and bringing Bloomberg's total contribution to the school in excess of $3.3 billion.[47][48][49][50][51][52] Bloomberg's $1.8 billion gift allows the school to practice need-blind admission and meet the full financial need of admitted students.[53][54]

In January 2019, the university announced[55] an agreement to purchase the Newseum, located at 555 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, in the heart of Washington, D.C., with plans to locate all of its Washington, D.C.-based graduate programs there. In an interview with The Atlantic, the president of Johns Hopkins stated that, "the purchase is an opportunity to position the university, literally, to better contribute its expertise to national- and international-policy discussions."[56]

In late 2019, the university's Coronavirus Research Center began tracking worldwide cases of the COVID-19 pandemic by compiling data from hundreds of sources around the world.[57] This led to the university becoming one of the most cited sources for data about the pandemic.[57]

Civil rights[edit]

African-Americans[edit]

Hopkins was a prominent abolitionist who supported Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War. After his death, reports said his conviction was a decisive factor in enrolling Hopkins's first African-American student, Kelly Miller, a graduate student in physics, astronomy and mathematics.[58] As time passed, the university adopted a "separate but equal" stance more like other Baltimore institutions.[10]

The first black undergraduate entered the school in 1945 and graduate students followed in 1967.[59] James Nabwangu, a British-trained Kenyan, was the first black graduate of the medical school.[60] African-American instructor and laboratory supervisor Vivien Thomas was instrumental in developing and conducting the first successful blue baby operation in 1944.[61] Despite such cases, racial diversity did not become commonplace at Johns Hopkins institutions until the 1960s and 1970s.

Women[edit]

Hopkins's most well-known battle for women's rights was the one led by daughters of trustees of the university; Mary E. Garrett, M. Carey Thomas, Mamie Gwinn, Elizabeth King, and Julia Rogers.[62] They donated and raised the funds needed to open the medical school, and required Hopkins's officials to agree to their stipulation that women would be admitted. The nursing school opened in 1889 and accepted women and men as students.[63] Other graduate schools were later opened to women by president Ira Remsen in 1907. Christine Ladd-Franklin was the first woman to earn a PhD at Hopkins, in mathematics in 1882.[64] The trustees denied her the degree for decades and refused to change the policy about admitting women. In 1893, Florence Bascomb became the university's first female PhD.[62] The decision to admit women at undergraduate level was not considered until the late 1960s and was eventually adopted in October 1969. As of 2009–2010, the undergraduate population was 47% female and 53% male.[65] In 2020, the undergraduate population of Hopkins was 53% female.[66][67]

Freedom of speech[edit]

On September 5, 2013, cryptographer and Johns Hopkins university professor Matthew Green posted a blog entitled, "On the NSA", in which he contributed to the ongoing debate regarding the role of NIST and NSA in formulating U.S. cryptography standards. On September 9, 2013, Green received a take-down request for the "On the NSA" blog from interim Dean Andrew Douglas from the Johns Hopkins University Whiting School of Engineering.[68] The request cited concerns that the blog had links to sensitive material. The blog linked to already published news articles from The Guardian, The New York Times, and ProPublica.org. Douglas subsequently issued a personal on-line apology to Green.[69] The event raised concern over the future of academic freedom of speech within the cryptologic research community.

  • School of Education: Originally established in 1909 as The School of Professional Studies in Business and Education, the divisions of Education and Business became separate schools in 2007.
  • Whiting School of Engineering: The Whiting School contains 14 undergraduate and graduate engineering programs and 12 additional areas of study.[70]
  • Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences: The Krieger School offers more than 60 undergraduate majors and minors and more than 40 graduate programs.[71]

The first campus was located on Howard Street. Eventually, they relocated to Homewood, in northern Baltimore, the estate of Charles Carroll, son of the oldest surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence. Carroll's Homewood House is considered one of the finest examples of Federal residential architecture. The estate then came to the Wyman family, which participated in making it the park-like main campus of the schools of arts and sciences and engineering at the start of the 20th century. Most of its architecture was modeled after the Federal style of Homewood House. Homewood House is preserved as a museum. Most undergraduate programs are on this campus.[72]

East Baltimore[edit]

Johns Hopkins Hospital

Collectively known as Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions (JHMI) campus, the East Baltimore facility occupies several city blocks spreading from the Johns Hopkins Hospital trademark dome.

Downtown Baltimore[edit]

Peabody Institute
  • Carey Business School: The Carey Business School was established in 2007, incorporating divisions of the former School of Professional Studies in Business and Education. It was originally located on Charles Street, but relocated to the Legg Mason building in Harbor East in 2011.
  • Peabody Institute: founded in 1857, is the oldest continuously active music conservatory in the United States; it became a division of Johns Hopkins in 1977. The Conservatory retains its own student body and grants degrees in musicology and performance, though both Hopkins and Peabody students may take courses at both institutions. It is located on East Mount Vernon Place.

Washington, D.C.[edit]

In 2019, Hopkins announced its purchase of the Newseum building on Pennsylvania Avenue, three blocks from the United States Capitol, to house its Washington, D.C. programs and centers.[77]

Laurel, Maryland[edit]

The Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), in Laurel, Maryland, specializes in research for the U.S. Department of Defense, NASA, and other government and civilian research agencies. Among other projects, it has designed, built, and flown spacecraft for NASA to the asteroid Eros, and the planets Mercury and Pluto. It has developed more than 100 biomedical devices, many in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions.[78] Akin to the Washington, D.C. campus for the School of Arts and Sciences, APL also is the primary campus for master's degrees in a variety of STEM fields.

Other campuses[edit]

Domestic[edit]

International[edit]

Organization[edit]

The Johns Hopkins entity is structured as two corporations, the university and The Johns Hopkins Health System, formed in 1986. The President is JHU's chief executive officer, and the university is organized into nine academic divisions.[84]

JHU's bylaws specify a Board of Trustees of between 18 and 65 voting members. Trustees serve six-year terms subject to a two-term limit. The alumni select 12 trustees. Four recent alumni serve 4-year terms, one per year, typically from the graduating class. The bylaws prohibit students, faculty or administrative staff from serving on the Board, except the President as an ex-officio trustee.[85] The Johns Hopkins Health System has a separate Board of Trustees, many of whom are doctors or health care executives.[86]

Academics[edit]

The full-time, four-year undergraduate program is "most selective" with low transfer-in and a high graduate co-existence.[87] The Princeton Review rates the selectivity of Johns Hopkins as 99/99. The cost of attendance per year is approximately $77,400.[88] However, 51% of full-time undergraduates receive financial aid covering 100% of their need.[89] The admit rate of Hopkins undergraduates to medical school is 80% and to law school is 97%, some of the highest rates in the US.[90] The university is one of fourteen founding members of the Association of American Universities (AAU); it is also a member of the Consortium on Financing Higher Education (COFHE) and the Universities Research Association (URA).

SAT Range (middle 50th percentile, 2027 data)[115] 1530–1560
ACT Range (middle 50th percentile, 2027 data)[115] 34–35

The university's undergraduate programs are highly selective: in 2021, the Office of Admissions accepted about 4.9% of its 33,236 Regular Decision applicants [116] and about 6.4% of its total 38,725 applicants.[117][118][119] In 2022, 99% of admitted students graduated in the top 10% of their high school class.[90] Over time, applications to Johns Hopkins University have risen steadily; as a result, the selectivity of Johns Hopkins University has also increased. Early Decision I is an option at Johns Hopkins University for students who wish to demonstrate that the university is their first choice. These students, if admitted, are required to enroll. This application is due November 1. There is also another binding Early Decision II application due January 3. Many students, however, apply Regular Decision, which is a traditional non-binding round. These applications are due January 3 and students are notified in mid-March. The cost to apply to Hopkins is $70, though fee waivers are available. In 2014, Johns Hopkins ended legacy preference in admissions.[120] Johns Hopkins practices need-blind admission and meets the full financial need of all admitted students.[121]

Libraries[edit]

The George Peabody Library at Johns Hopkins University

The Johns Hopkins University Library system houses more than 3.6 million volumes[129] and includes ten main divisions across the university's campuses. The largest segment of this system is the Sheridan Libraries, encompassing the Milton S. Eisenhower Library (the main library of the Homewood campus), the Brody Learning Commons, the Hutzler Reading Room ("The Hut") in Gilman Hall, the John Work Garrett Library at Evergreen House, and the George Peabody Library at the Peabody Institute campus.[130]

The main library, constructed in the 1960s, was named for Milton S. Eisenhower, former president of the university and brother of former U.S. president Dwight D. Eisenhower. The university's stacks had previously been housed in Gilman Hall and departmental libraries.[131] Only two of the Eisenhower library's six stories are above ground, though the building was designed so that every level receives natural light. The design accords with campus lore that no structure can be taller than Gilman Hall, the flagship academic building. A four-story expansion to the library, known as the Brody Learning Commons, opened in August 2012. The expansion features an energy-efficient, state-of-the-art technology infrastructure and includes study spaces, seminar rooms, and a rare books collection.[132]

Johns Hopkins University Press[edit]

The Johns Hopkins University Press is the publishing division of the Johns Hopkins University. It was founded in 1878 and holds the distinction of being the oldest continuously running university press in the United States.[133] To date the Press has published more than 6,000 titles and currently publishes 65 scholarly periodicals and over 200 new books each year. Since 1993, the Johns Hopkins University Press has run Project MUSE, an online collection of over 250 full-text, peer-reviewed journals in the humanities and social sciences. The Press also houses the Hopkins Fulfilment Services (HFS), which handles distribution for a number of university presses and publishers. Taken together, the three divisions of the Press—Books, Journals (including MUSE) and HFS—make it one of the largest of America's university presses.

Center for Talented Youth[edit]

The Johns Hopkins University also offers the Center for Talented Youth program, a nonprofit organization dedicated to identifying and developing the talents of the most promising K-12 grade students worldwide. As part of the Johns Hopkins University, the "Center for Talented Youth" or CTY helps fulfill the university's mission of preparing students to make significant future contributions to the world.[134] The Johns Hopkins Digital Media Center (DMC) is a multimedia lab space as well as an equipment, technology and knowledge resource for students interested in exploring creative uses of emerging media and use of technology.[135]

Degrees offered[edit]

Johns Hopkins offers a number of degrees in various undergraduate majors leading to the BA and BS and various majors leading to the MA, MS and PhD for graduate students.[136] Because Hopkins offers both undergraduate and graduate areas of study, many disciplines have multiple degrees available. Biomedical engineering, perhaps one of Hopkins's best-known programs, offers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees.[137]

Research[edit]

The opportunity to participate in important research is one of the distinguishing characteristics of Hopkins's undergraduate education. About 80 percent of undergraduates perform independent research, often alongside top researchers.[87][138] In fiscal year 2020, Johns Hopkins spent nearly $3.1 billion on research, more than any other U.S. university for over 40 consecutive years.[14] Johns Hopkins has had seventy-seven members of the Institute of Medicine, forty-three Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigators, seventeen members of the National Academy of Engineering, and sixty-two members of the National Academy of Sciences. As of October 2019, 39 Nobel Prize winners have been affiliated with the university as alumni, faculty members or researchers, with the most recent winners being Gregg Semenza and William G. Kaelin.[139]

Between 1999 and 2009, Johns Hopkins was among the most cited institutions in the world. It attracted nearly 1,222,166 citations and produced 54,022 papers under its name, ranking third globally after Harvard University and the Max Planck Society in the number of total citations published in Thomson Reuters-indexed journals over 22 fields in America.[140] In 2020, Johns Hopkins University ranked 5 in number of utility patents granted out of all institutions in the world.[141]

In 2000, Johns Hopkins received $95.4 million in research grants from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), making it the leading recipient of NASA research and development funding.[142] In FY 2002, Hopkins became the first university to cross the $1 billion threshold on either list, recording $1.14 billion in total research and $1.023 billion in federally sponsored research. In FY 2008, Johns Hopkins University performed $1.68 billion in science, medical and engineering research, making it the leading U.S. academic institution in total R&D spending for the 30th year in a row, according to a National Science Foundation (NSF) ranking.[143] These totals include grants and expenditures of JHU's Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland.

In 2013, the Bloomberg Distinguished Professorships program was established by a $250 million gift from Michael Bloomberg. This program enables the university to recruit fifty researchers from around the world to joint appointments throughout the nine divisions and research centers. Each professor must be a leader in interdisciplinary research and be active in undergraduate education.[144][145] Directed by Vice Provost for Research Denis Wirtz, there are currently thirty two Bloomberg Distinguished Professors at the university, including three Nobel Laureates, eight fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, ten members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and thirteen members of the National Academies.[146]

Charles Village, the region of North Baltimore surrounding the university, has undergone several restoration projects, and the university has gradually bought the property around the school for additional student housing and dormitories. The Charles Village Project, completed in 2008, brought new commercial spaces to the neighborhood. The project included Charles (now Scott-Bates) Commons, a new, modern residence hall that includes popular retail franchises.[155][156] In 2015, the university began development of new commercial properties, including a modern upperclassmen apartment complex, restaurants and eateries, and a CVS retail store.[157]

Hopkins invested in improving campus life with an arts complex in 2001, the Mattin Center, and a three-story sports facility, the O'Connor Recreation Center. The large on-campus dining facilities at Homewood were renovated in the summer of 2006. The Mattin Center was demolished in 2021 to make room for the new Student Center scheduled to open in the fall of 2024.

Quality of life is enriched by the proximity of neighboring academic institutions, including Loyola College, Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), UMBC, Goucher College, and Towson University, as well as the nearby neighborhoods of Hampden, the Inner Harbor, Fells Point, and Mount Vernon.

Students and alumni are active on and off campus. Johns Hopkins has been home to several secret societies, many of which are now defunct. Blue Jay Supper Society is the only active secret society with open applications.[158] Membership is open to undergraduate and graduate students as well as alumni.

Student organizations[edit]

Fraternity and sorority life[edit]

Fraternity and sorority life came to Hopkins in 1876 with the chartering of Beta Theta Pi fraternity, which still exists on campus today.[159] Since, Johns Hopkins has become home to nine sororities and 11 fraternities. Of the nine sororities, five belong to the National Panhellenic Conference and four to the Multicultural Greek Council Sororities. Of the fraternities, all 11 belong to the Inter-Fraternity Council. Over 1,000 students participate in Fraternity and Sorority Life, with 23% of women and 20% of men taking part.[160][161] Fraternity and Sorority Life has expanded its reach at Hopkins in recent decades, as only 15% of the student body participated in 1989.[162] Alpha Phi Alpha, a historically black fraternity, was founded in 1991, Lambda Phi Epsilon, an Asian-interest fraternity, was founded in 1994, and Lambda Upsilon Lambda, a Latino-interest fraternity, was founded in 1995.[163][164][165] Rush for all students occurs in the spring. Most fraternities keep houses in Charles Village while sororities do not.

Spring Fair[edit]

Spring Fair has been a Johns Hopkins tradition since 1972 and has since grown to be the largest student-run festival in the country.[166] Popular among Hopkins students and Baltimore inhabitants alike, Spring Fair features carnival rides, vendors, food and a beer garden. Since its beginning, Spring Fair has decreased in size, both in regard to attendance and utilization of space. While one point, the Fair attracted upwards of 100,000 people, it became unruly and, for a variety of reasons including safety concerns and a campus beautification project in the early 2000s, had to be scaled back.[167]

Traditions[edit]

While it has been speculated that Johns Hopkins has relatively few traditions for a school of its age and that many past traditions have been forgotten, a handful of myths and customs are ubiquitous knowledge among the community.[168] One such long-standing myth surrounds the university seal that is embedded into the floor of the Gilman Hall foyer. The myth holds that any current student to step on the seal will never graduate. In reverence for this tradition, the seal has been fenced off from the rest of the room.

An annual event is the "Lighting of the Quads", a ceremony each winter during which the campus is lit up in holiday lights. Recent years have included singing and fireworks.

Housing[edit]

Alumni Memorial Residence I, a freshman dormitory on the Baltimore campus

Living on campus is typically required for first- and second-year undergraduates.[169] Freshman housing is centered around Freshman Quad, which consists of three residence hall complexes: The two Alumni Memorial Residences (AMR I and AMR II) plus Buildings A and B. The AMR dormitories are each divided into houses, subunits named for figures from the university's early history. Freshmen are also housed in Wolman Hall and in certain wings of McCoy Hall, both located slightly outside the campus. Dorms at Hopkins are generally co-ed with same-gender rooms, though a new policy has allowed students to live in mixed-gender rooms since Fall 2014.[170][171]

Students determine where they will live during sophomore year through a housing lottery. Most juniors and seniors move into nearby apartments or row-houses. Non-freshmen in university housing occupy one of four buildings: McCoy Hall, the Bradford Apartments, the Homewood Apartments, and Scott-Bates Commons.[172] All are located in Charles Village within a block from the Homewood campus. Forty-five percent of the student body lives off-campus while 55% lives on campus.[173]

Athletics[edit]

The university's athletic teams are the Johns Hopkins Blue Jays. Even though sable and gold are used for academic robes, the university's athletic colors are Columbia blue (PMS 284) and black.[174] Hopkins celebrates Homecoming in the spring to coincide with the height of the lacrosse season. The men's and women's lacrosse teams are in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I and are affiliate members of the Big Ten Conference. Other teams are in Division III and participate in the Centennial Conference.[175] JHU is also home to the Lacrosse Museum and National Hall of Fame, maintained by US Lacrosse.[176]

Men's lacrosse[edit]

The school's most prominent team is its men's lacrosse team. The team has won 44 national titles,[177] nine NCAA Division I titles in 2007, 2005, 1987, 1985, 1984, 1980, 1979, 1978, and 1974, and 29 USILA championships, and six Intercollegiate Lacross Association (ILA) titles.

Hopkins's primary lacrosse rivals are Princeton University, Syracuse University, and the University of Virginia; its primary intrastate rivals are Loyola University Maryland, competing in what is called the "Charles Street Massacre", Towson University, the United States Naval Academy, and the University of Maryland.[178] The rivalry with Maryland is the oldest. The schools have met 111 times since 1899, including three times in playoff matches.

On June 3, 2013, it was announced that the Blue Jays would join the Big Ten Conference for men's lacrosse when that league begins sponsoring the sport in the 2015 season (2014–15 school year).[179]

Women's lacrosse[edit]

The women's team is a member of the Big Ten Conference and a former member of the American Lacrosse Conference (ALC). The Lady Blue Jays were ranked number 18 in the 2015 Inside Lacrosse Women's DI Media Poll.[180] They ranked number 8 in the 2007 Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Poll Division I. The team finished the 2012 season with a 9–9 record and finished the 2013 season with a 10–7 record. They finished the 2014 season 15–5.[181] On June 17, 2015, it was announced that the Blue Jays would join the Big Ten Conference for women's lacrosse in the 2017 season (2016–17 school year).

Other teams[edit]

Hopkins has notable Division III Athletic teams. JHU Men's Swimming won three consecutive NCAA Championships in 1977, 1978, and 1979.[182] In 2009–2010, Hopkins won 8 Centennial Conference titles in Women's Cross Country, Women's Track & Field, Baseball, Men's and Women's Soccer, Football, and Men's and Women's Tennis. The Women's Cross Country team became the first women's team at Hopkins to achieve a #1 National ranking. In 2006–2007 teams won Centennial Conference titles in Baseball, Men's and Women's Soccer, Men's and Women's Tennis and Men's Basketball. Women's soccer won their Centennial Conference title for 7 consecutive years from 2005 to 2011. In the 2013–2014 school year, Hopkins earned 12 Centennial Conference titles, most notably from the cross country and track & field teams, which accounted for six.[183]

Hopkins has an acclaimed fencing team, which ranked in the top three Division III teams in the past few years and in both 2008 and 2007 defeated the University of North Carolina, a Division I team. In 2008, they defeated UNC and won the MACFA championship.[184]

The men's swimming team has ranked highly in NCAA Division III for the last 20 years, most recently placing second at DIII Nationals in 2008 and 2022. The water polo team was number one in Division III for several of the past years, playing a full schedule against Division I opponents. Hopkins also has a century-old rivalry with McDaniel College, formerly Western Maryland College, playing the Green Terrors 83 times in football since the first game in 1894. In 2009, the football team reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division III tournament, with three tournament appearances since 2005. In 2008, the baseball team ranked second, losing in the final game of the DIII College World Series to Trinity College.[185]

The women's field hockey team has reached the NCAA semifinals for the last four seasons (2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022); the 2020 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic) and has been the NCAA Division III National Championship runner-up the last 2 years (2021 and 2022) losing to Middlebury College both times.

In 2022, the women's soccer team won their first NCAA Division III Women's Soccer National Championship with a season record of 23-0-2. The 23 wins are the most in program history. The coaching staff were named the Region V coaching staff of the year.

The Johns Hopkins squash team plays in the College Squash Association as a club team along with Division I and III varsity programs. In 2011–12 the squash team finished 30th in the ranking.[186]

Noted people[edit]

As of October 2019, prominent Johns Hopkins faculty and alumni include 39 Nobel laureates,[187] a Fields Medalist, 4 member of the United States Congress, 7 U.S. Governors, a President of the United States, and 2 prime ministers.

Nobel laureates[edit]

As of October 2019, there have been 39 Nobel Laureates who either attended the university as undergraduate or graduate students, or were faculty members.[188] Woodrow Wilson, who received his PhD from Johns Hopkins in 1886, was the university's first affiliated laureate, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919.[188][189] Twenty-three laureates were faculty members, five earned PhDs, eight earned M.D.s, and Francis Peyton Rous, and Martin Rodbell earned undergraduate degrees.

As of October 2019, eighteen Johns Hopkins laureates have won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.[188] Four Nobel Prizes were shared by Johns Hopkins laureates: George Minot and George Whipple won the 1934 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine,[190] Joseph Erlanger and Herbert Spencer Gasser won the 1944 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine,[191] Daniel Nathans and Hamilton O. Smith won the 1978 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine,[192] and David H. Hubel and Torsten N. Wiesel won the 1981 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.[193] Four Johns Hopkins laureates won Nobel Prizes in Physics, including Riccardo Giacconi in 2002[194] and Bloomberg Distinguished Professor Adam Riess in 2011.[195]

Bloomberg Distinguished Professor Peter Agre was awarded the 2003 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (which he shared with Roderick MacKinnon) for his discovery of aquaporins.[196] Bloomberg Distinguished Professor Carol Greider was awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, along with Blackburn and Jack W. Szostak, for their discovery that telomeres are protected from progressive shortening by the enzyme telomerase.[197]

In popular culture[edit]

The school's reputation has made it a frequent reference in media.

  • The Hopkins Lacrosse Story (1992): With an unprecedented 43 national championship titles, Johns Hopkins has one the most successful college lacrosse programs in the world. This film traces the team's numerous historical accomplishments: its first championship in 1891, its wins at the Amsterdam (1928) and Los Angeles (1932) Olympic Games, and the current runs for the NCAA title.[198]
  • Hopkins 24/7 (2000): A six-part television documentary produced by ABC that gave viewers an inside look at life in the Johns Hopkins Hospital.[199]
  • Something the Lord Made (2004): An HBO movie that tells the story of an unusual partnership at Johns Hopkins Hospital between Alfred Blalock, one of the nation's pioneering surgeons, and Vivien Thomas, an African American surgical technician, who contributed to a surgical solution for the "blue baby" syndrome. It was filmed on the East Baltimore and Homewood campuses.[199]
