The Johns Hopkins University opened in 1876 and is named for its initial benefactor, Baltimore merchant Johns Hopkins, whose $7 million bequest — the largest U.S. philanthropic gift to that time — was divided evenly to finance the establishment of the university and The Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Today, the university enrols nearly 20,000 full-time and part-time students on three major campuses in Baltimore, one in Washington, D.C., one in Montgomery County, Md., and facilities throughout the Baltimore-Washington area and in China and Italy.
The Betty and Edgar Sweren Student Book Collecting Contest recognizes the love of books and the delight in shaping a thoughtful and focused book collection. All undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in a degree program at Johns Hopkins are eligible to enter. Each entry is judged on the extent to which the items in the collection form a coherent pattern of inquiry and/or represent a well defined field of interest. Collections on any subject are welcome. I suspect my own book collection, although showing a love of books, is not a focused book collection. It certainly is focused on how I felt when I was in the bookshop, and how much money I had at the time.
What I learned that was special:
• Contract security guards are assigned to various on and off-campus locations. They provide a visible uniformed presence targeted at preventative patrol and provide extra eyes and ears for campus police officers. Off-duty armed and uniformed Baltimore Police Officers are also employed during specific times.
