Johns Hopkins University was established in 1876 and named after its first benefactor, the philanthropist Johns Hopkins. The $7 million he donated, which equaled around $150 million in 2017, was the largest philanthropic gift given in the U.S. at that time. It is one of the top colleges in the world and was America’s first research university. Most undergraduates at Johns Hopkins study at the North Baltimore Homewood campus, which is 140 acres and contains two libraries, dozens of research labs and an iconic clock tower. Notable alumni include American anesthesiologist Virginia Apgar, who invented the Apgar score for newborns; Former U.S. President Woodrow Wilson; Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright; host of HQ Trivia Scott Rogowsky; film director Wes Craven; composer Philip Glass and CNN host Wolf Blitzer. Twenty-seven nobel prize winners in medicine, physics, chemistry, physiology and economics are associated with the university. The Johns Hopkins University Press, which was founded in 1878, is the oldest university press in the country, and Woodrow Wilson, the only president to earn a PhD, earned his PhD from the school. Johns Hopkins has 24 varsity teams, and 22 of them compete at the NCAA Division III level. The men’s lacrosse team, the Blue Jays, have won 44 national titles. The school’s mascot is the Blue Jay and the colors are black, blue and white. Its motto is, “Eritas vos liberabit” or “The Truth Shall Set You Free.”
