Who-Was-Johns-Hopkins.Pdf Who was Johns Hopkins? hile previously adopted accounts portray Johns Hopkins as an early abolitionist whose father had freed the family’s enslaved people in the early 1800s, recently discovered records offer strong evidence that Johns Hopkins held enslaved people in his home until at least the mid-1800s. More information about the university’s investigation of this history is available at the Hopkins Retrospective website. Johns Hopkins by Thomas C. Corner oil on canvas, 100 by 58 inches, 1896 The Johns Hopkins Hospital, shown here at the time of its completion in 1889, was considered a municipal and national marvel when it opened. It was believed to be the largest medical center in the country with 17 buildings, 330 beds, 25 physicians and 200 employees. As a Baltimore American headline put it on May 7, 1889, the Hospital’s opening day, “Its Aim Is Noble,” and its service would be “For the Good of All Who Suffer.” Johns Hopkins, the Quaker merchant, banker and businessman, left $7 million in 1873 to create The Johns Hopkins University and The Johns Hopkins Hospital, instructing his trustees to create new models and standards for medical education and health care. He was named for his great-grandmother, Margaret Johns, her last name becoming his first (and confusing people ever since). Considering his wealth a trust, Johns into the fields.

Hopkins was made president of the Merchants National Bank of Baltimore, and was a director in the First National, Mechanics’ Central, National Union, Citizens’ and the Farmers and Plant- ers’ banks. He also was a director of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, in which he believed so much that he spent almost $1 million to bail it out of deep financial trouble in 1857 and 1873.

  • 1 Johns Hopkins and Slaveholding Preliminary Findings, December 8
    Johns Hopkins and Slaveholding Preliminary Findings, December 8, 2020 Hard Histories at Hopkins hardhistory.jhu.edu Martha S. Jones, Director [email protected] Overview Our research began when a colleague brought to the university’s attention an 1850 US census return for Johns Hopkins: A “slave schedule” that attributed the ownership of four enslaved men (aged 50, 45, 25, and 18) to Hopkins. Preliminary research confirmed that the “Johns Hopkins” associated with this census return was the same person for whom the university was later named.1 This evidence ran counter to the long-told story about Johns Hopkins, one that posited him as the son of a man, Samuel Hopkins, who had manumitted the family’s slaves in 1807. Johns Hopkins himself was said to have been an abolitionist and Quaker, the implication being that he opposed slavery and never owned enslaved people.2 The details of the 1850 census slave schedule for Johns Hopkins have generated new research along four lines of inquiry. How had the university for so long told a story about Hopkins that did not account for his having held enslaved people? Which aspects of the Hopkins family story can be confirmed by evidence? What do we learn about Hopkins and his family when we investigate their relationship to slavery anew? And, who were the enslaved people in the Hopkins households and what can we know about their lives? Our observations are preliminary but important. The US census schedules for 1840 and 1850 report that in those years Johns Hopkins owed enslaved people who were part of his Baltimore household (one person in 1840 and four people in 1850.) The evidence also shows that in 1778 Johns Hopkins the elder – grandfather to Johns Hopkins – manumitted enslaved people (with important qualifications detailed below.) Samuel Hopkins – father to Johns Hopkins – dealt in the labor of free Black children and also may have dealt in slaveholding and manumission, but we have recovered no evidence that he manumitted enslaved people.

  • The Johns Hopkins University Fun Facts
    The Johns Hopkins University Fun Facts “ The public is sensitive to little things, and they wouldn’t have full confidence in a college that didn’t know how to spell ‘John.’” -Mark Twain Why the extra S? Johns Hopkins’ given name was the maiden name of his great-grandmother, Margaret Johns. Johns Hopkins’ formal education ended when he was 12, after his devout Quaker parents freed their slaves and put Johns and his brothers to work in the fields in 1807. When he was a young merchant, Johns temporarily fell out of favor with the Quakers because he and his brothers sold whiskey, which was known as “Hopkins Best.” The university’s Peabody Institute, which celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2007, was the first academy of music established in America. Johns Hopkins University was the first research university established in the United States. Contrary to popular belief, there were undergraduate students from the time the university opened on October 3, 1876. The first doctorates were awarded in 1878 and the first bachelors in 1879. The Johns Hopkins University Press, founded in 1878, is the oldest continuously-operating university press in the United States. In 1879, an important commercial discovery emerged from the laboratory of Ira Remsen, the university’s first chemistry professor and second president. While working under Remsen’s direction, post-doctoral fellow, Constantine Fahlberg, discovered saccharin and later made a fortune with the commercial development of the new sweetener. Incidentally, Remsen’s ashes are interred behind a plaque in the campus chemistry building bearing his name. The university motto, ‘Veritas vos Liberabit,’ or “The truth will set you free,” was adopted by the Board of Trustees in 1885, though it may have been in use informally before that time.
