Hopkins Retrospective

the elements of our one university coalesced and evolved, shaped by and influencing the events and discoveries of the past 145 years. Hopkins Retrospective is a research and outreach initiative seeking to expand understanding of the history of Hopkins and to weave that history into the university experience. The project includes a range of other initiatives like research fellowships, oral history interviews, and public programming. Additionally, a history of the university written by Professor Stuart “Bill” Leslie is forthcoming; this effort will be told through the spaces that define Hopkins like the laboratory or seminar room, with emphasis on the people that have also made Hopkins what it is today. We hope this page will be a place where you can learn more, explore the history of the university in greater depth, and share your stories, pictures and perspectives on the role that you played as part of the history of Johns Hopkins University.
