THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY COM- 

 MEMORATIVE ADDRESS* 



This is not the time, although it is a 

 birthday, to review the infancy of this Uni- 

 versity. Reminiscences of the cradle and 

 the nursery are profoundly interesting to 

 a very small number of the near and dear, 

 but according to a formula, which may be 

 stated with mathematical precision, the in- 

 terest varies inversely as the square of the 

 distance. 



It is meet and right and our bounden 

 duty to commemorate the munificence of 

 the founder, who in his grove at Clifton, 

 and at his residence in town, spent the 

 close of his life in pei'fecting a plan by 

 which his fortune might be made to benefit 

 humanity. Two noble purposes, the edu- 

 cation of youth and the relief of suffering, 

 —the Johns Hopkins University and the 

 Johns Hopkins Hospital, became the ob- 

 jects of his thought and bounty. It would 

 be pleasant to dwell upon the personalities 

 of his early advisers,— three of whom may 

 now witness our fervent congratulations. 

 We might journey with them to Cam- 

 bridge, New Haven, Ithaca, Ann Arbor, 

 and Charlottesville, as they engaged in en- 

 quiries respecting the nature and offices of 

 those leading universities, an examjDle of 



* By Daniel C. Gilman, President of the Johns 

 Hopkins University from 1875 to 1901, on the 

 occasion of the celebration of the twenty-fifth anni- 

 versary of the founding of the university.
