The first issue of Johns Hopkins Magazine landed in readers’ mailboxes in 1950, marking the birth of a new kind of magazine. Published for the graduates, faculty, and friends of America’s first research university, it was conceived to give readers “intellectual nourishment,” and over the years has featured thought-provoking and sometimes controversial articles on particle physics, student unrest, solitary confinement, artificial intelligence, and trailblazing artists. Our award-winning quarterly publication is now mailed to more than 140,000 Johns Hopkins graduates, faculty, and friends, and viewed online around the globe. Johns Hopkins remains one of the nation’s premier centers of learning, research, and discovery—sharing knowledge to better the world. The university’s notable list of alumni includes visionary scientists; entrepreneurs of every stripe; famous authors of fiction and nonfiction; winners of Oscars, Grammys, Emmys, and Pulitzer Prizes; heads of local, regional, national, and international organizations; and various elected officials including mayors, governors, and members of Congress. An institution with such a rich and textured history of excellence deserves an alumni magazine that reflects this distinction and mirrors its global reach, while never losing sight of its Baltimore roots.At our core, we love to tell stories with a universal appeal. We consider Johns Hopkins Magazine a gift to our readers. In this issue there are articles on Psychiatry, Pediatrics, Sue Baker, Injury prevention, DNA, CRISPR gene-editing technology, Autonomous underwater vehicles, Zoo, Conservation, Gertrude Stein, School of Medicine, Peter Agre, Time Capsules and includes an article by Michael Bloomberg. Johns Hopkins University (JHU), often abbreviated as Hopkins, is a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. Incorporated in 1867 and opened in 1876 based on the European research institution model, Johns Hopkins is considered to be the first research university in the U.S. The university was named for its first benefactor, the American businessman and Quaker philanthropist Johns Hopkins. Hopkins's $7 million bequest (equivalent to $166 million in 2024) to establish the university and the affiliated Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore was the largest philanthropic gift in U.S. history up to that time. Daniel Coit Gilman, who was inaugurated as Johns Hopkins's first president on February 22, 1876, led the university to revolutionize higher education in the U.S. by integrating teaching and research. In 1900, Johns Hopkins became a founding member of the Association of American Universities. The School of Medicine, established in 1893, has achieved international recognition for its pioneering biomedical research. The university consists of ten academic divisions mostly divided among four campuses in Baltimore, with some graduate campuses in Italy, China, and Washington, D.C. The university's two undergraduate divisions, the Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and the Whiting School of Engineering, are located on the Homewood campus adjacent to Baltimore's Charles Village neighborhood. The School of Medicine, School of Nursing, and Bloomberg School of Public Health are located on the medical campus in East Baltimore, alongside Johns Hopkins Hospital. The university also consists of the Peabody Institute in Baltimore's Mount Vernon neighborhood, Applied Physics Laboratory in Howard County, School of Advanced International Studies, School of Education, and Carey Business School. Founded in 1883, the Johns Hopkins Blue Jays men's lacrosse team, which is an affiliate member in the Big Ten Conference, has won 44 national titles. The university's other sports teams compete in Division III of the NCAA, where they are members of the Centennial Conference. Condition: Very good.
