JOHNS See also:HOPKINS UNIVERSITY , an See also:American educational institution at See also:Baltimore, See also:Maryland, U.S.A.

But nothing was actually done until after the See also:death of Johns Hopkins (Dec. 24, 1873), when his See also:fortune of $7,000,000 was equally divided between the projected university and a See also:hospital, also to See also:bear his name, and intended to be a9 See also:auxiliary to the medical school of the university. The trustees of the university consulted with many prominent educationists, notably See also:Charles W. See also:Eliot of Harvard, See also:Andrew D. See also:- WHITE

The university at once became a See also:pioneer in the See also:United States in teaching by means of See also:seminary courses and laboratories, and it has been eminently successful in encouraging See also:research, in scientific See also:production, and in preparing its students to become instructors in other colleges and See also:universities. It includes a See also:college in which each of five parallel courses leads to the degree of See also:Bachelor of Arts, but its reputation has been established chiefly by its other two departments, the See also:graduate school and the medical school. The graduate school offers courses in See also:philosophy and psychology, physics, chemistry and biology, See also:historical and economic See also:science, See also:language and literature, and confers the degree of See also:Doctor of Philosophy after at least three years' See also:residence. From its See also:foundation the university had novel features and a liberal See also:administration. Twenty See also:annual See also:fellow-See also:ships of $500 each were opened to the graduates of any college. Petrography and laboratory psychology were among the new sciences fostered by the new university. Such eminent outsiders were secured for brief residence and lecture courses as J. R.

See also:September roof, Ira Remsen1 succeeding him in the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office. The medical See also:department, inaugurated in 1893, is closely affiliated with the excellently equipped Johns Hopkins Hospital (opened in 1889), and is actually a graduate school, as it admits only students holding the bachelor's degree or its See also:equivalent. The degree of Doctor of See also:Medicine is conferred after four years of successful study, and advanced courses are offered. The department's greatest teachers have been William See also:Osier (b. 1849) and William Henry Welch (b. 1850).
The buildings of the university were in 1901 an unpretentious See also:group on crowded ground near the business centre of the See also:city. In 1902 a new site was secured, containing about 125 acres amid pleasant surroundings in the See also:northern suburbs, and new buildings were designed in accordance with a See also:plan formed with a view to secure See also:harmony and symmetry. In 1907 the library contained more than 133,000 See also:bound volumes. Among the numerous publications issued by the university See also:press are: American See also:Journal of Mathematics, Studies in Historical and See also:Political Science, Reprint of Economic Tracts, American Journal of Philology, Contributions to Assyriology and Semitic Philology, See also:Modern Language Notes, American Chemical Journal, American Journal of See also:Insanity, Terrestrial See also:Magnetism and Atmospheric See also:Electricity, Reports of the Maryland See also:Geological Survey, and Reports of the Maryland See also:Weather Service. The institution is maintained chiefly with the proceeds of the endowment fund. It also receives aid from the state, and charges tuition fees. Its See also:government is entrusted to a See also:board of trustees, while the direction of affairs of a strictly See also:academic nature is delegated to an academic See also:council and to department boards. In 1907–1908 the See also:regular See also:faculty numbered 195, and there was an enrolment of 683 students, of
whom 518 were in See also:post-graduate courses.
