February 26, 2001 "From Gilman to Greatness" Highlights of Johns Hopkins' 125-Year History Featured in Sheridan Libraries Exhibit In honor of the 125th anniversary of the founding of The Johns Hopkins University, the Milton S. Eisenhower Library will host a special exhibit, "From Gilman to Greatness," through May 2001. Assembled and mounted by author Mame Warren and Jim Stimpert, Homewood Archivist, this exhibit offers views and insights into Hopkins' history. Based on holdings of Special Collections, it also includes materials from the Alan Mason Chesney Medical Archives, the Archives of the Peabody Institute, and other sources. The exhibit is comprised of photographs, artifacts, and commentary covering the origins of Johns Hopkins and important events from its more recent history. Many of the photographs are represented in Warren's book, Johns Hopkins: Knowledge for the World, published last year to commemorate the 125th anniversary. This book presents a fascinating picture of the institutions and individuals -- past and current -- who make up Johns Hopkins. The exhibit will display many of the original items that figured in the research behind the book. The exhibit is available on the Main Level during the library's normal hours. The Sheridan Libraries encompass the Milton S. Eisenhower Library and its collections at the Hutzler Reading Room, Garrett Library and the George Peabody Library. ### Johns Hopkins University news releases can be found on the World Wide Web at: http://www.jhu.edu/news_info/news/ | |||||||||||||
