In this course students will learn about the life and legacy of Johns Hopkins: his ancestors, his friends, his Quaker faith, his business career, his philanthropy and what we know about why he decided to found a university and hospital. Along the way, we will examine rare artifacts, explore archival records, discuss current controversies, and visit some of the most important local landmarks in Baltimore associated with the founder of Johns Hopkins University and Hospital. The primary graded assignment for the semester will be to identify and edit a Wikipedia article based on a notable person or event of historical significance and related to Johns Hopkins' long and eventful life.
