1. Johns Hopkins

   Johns Hopkins (May 19, 1795 – December 24, 1873) was an American merchant, investor, and philanthropist. Born on a plantation, he left his home to start a career at the age of 17, and settled in Baltimore, Maryland where he remained for most of his life. Prudent early 19th-century investments in the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) (that eventually led to a directorship and elevation to the chairmanship), and a rise to the position of president at Baltimore's Merchants' National Bank allowed Hopkins to retire at an early age. Hopkins was a staunch supporter of Abraham Lincoln and the Union, often using his Maryland residence as a gathering place for Union strategists. He was a Quaker and supporter of the abolitionist cause, though he may have had slaves at an earlier stage of his life. Hopkins was a philanthropist his whole life, but the trait became very evident after the Civil War. His concern for the poor and newly freed slave populations drove him to create free medical facilities, orphanages, asylums, and schools to help alleviate the impoverished conditions for all, regardless of race, sex, age, or religion, but especially focused on the young. Following his death, his bequests founded numerous institutions bearing his name, most notably Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Johns Hopkins University system (including its academic divisions: Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies). At the time, it was the largest philanthropic bequest made to an American educational institution.

Examples of Johns Hopkins in a Sentence

1. David Phillips:

   We apologize to the students affected and to their families, admissions decision days are stressful enough. We very much regret having added to the disappointment felt by a group of very capable and hardworking students, especially ones who were so committed to the idea of attending Johns Hopkins that they applied early decision.

2. Erin Michos:

   Johns Hopkins Medicine provides some modest reassurance for the short-term, but the absence of a signal for cancer excess isn't really all that surprising to me, because it's just too soon for something like cancer, there hasn't been long enough follow-up to really see a signal. So while I'm reassured that they didn't find one, I don't think it means that patients are completely out of the woods.

3. Beth Blauer:

   I think there were some pretty significant missed opportunities because we had a lack of clarity on the core definitions of Johns Hopkins University, and that is particularly harsh when you look at the variability of demographic data.

4. Lori Tremmel Freeman:

   The CDC's difficult not just during pandemic times, but even more difficult during Johns Hopkins University, our data modernization infrastructure for governmental public health is just really nonexistent. So when you think about having to pivot quickly with new metrics and how that data gets collected and reported and accumulated, aggregated, de-aggregated, it can be daunting.

5. Janet Hamilton:

   What Johns Hopkins University has really brought to light are gaps and fissures that we knew existed but maybe others outside of public health didn't know existed in the same way and weren't invested in trying to solve the problem.
