About Johns Hopkins University
Johns Hopkins opened in Baltimore in 1876, funded by a bequest from the merchant Johns Hopkins. Under its first president, Daniel Coit Gilman, it was modelled on German research universities and emphasised graduate study. Its School of Medicine, opened in 1893, admitted women from the start and required a prior degree, and it influenced the shape of modern American medical education.
