History of Graduate Education


The manuscript collections contain the personal papers of Hopkins' earliest presidents: Daniel C. Gilman; Ira Remsen; Frank J. Goodnow; Joseph S. Ames; and Isaiah Bowman; and the correspondence and other papers of early faculty members, especially the historian Herbert Baxter Adams, the classicist Basil L. Gildersleeve, and the physicist Henry A. Rowland. These papers are a significant resource for the history of higher education in the United States, especially graduate programs, in which the Johns Hopkins University was a pioneer. Herbert Baxter Adams, one of whose students was Woodrow Wilson, had an important influence on the teaching of history in this country, and his ideas and methods show clearly in his papers.

Complementing the papers of the early presidents and faculty are the official records of the Johns Hopkins University held by the Ferdinand Hamburger Archives. The Archives documents the University's School of Arts and Sciences, the G.W.C. Whiting School of Engineering, the School of Professional Studies, the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, and the Central Administration. The Alan Mason Chesney Medical Archives holds the official records and personal papers of the Hopkins Medical Institutions and its faculty. The Peabody Institute Archives documents the history of the original Institute, and especially the Conservatory of Music.
