Daniel Coit Gilman , the first president of Johns Hopkins University, founded the university's publishing office in 1878, just two years after it was founded. The American Journal of Mathematics was published in the first year and the American Chemical Journal followed in the second . The American Journal of Philology appeared in 1880 . The first book, Sidney Lanier: A Memorial Tribute , was published in 1881 in honor of the American poet. In 1891 the publisher became Johns Hopkins Pressrenamed and in 1972 it took its current name. After several moves inside and outside the Johns Hopkins University campus, the publisher moved to its current location in the Charles Village district in 1993. There the publishing house is housed in a former Catholic church built in 1897.
