To the Alumni and Friends of the Johns Hopkins University, and to Those Interested in Education: The authorities of the Johns Hopkins University present this appeal to its Alumni and friends and to public-spirited citizens generally, convinced that an opportunity now presents itself for inaugurating a forward movement in education and for aiding in the solution of some of the urgent problems confronting our country. The influence exerted by this University upon higher educa- tion in the United States is widely recognized both here and abroad. Its founding marked the beginning of a new era. Being the first institution on this side the Atlantic whose primary object was the advancement of knowledge — as distinguished from its com- munication through the ordinary methods of instruction — it gave great impetus to research in the principal departments of knowl- edge. The investigations carried forward by its teachers and stu- dents, and its many learned publications, have, for more than thirty years, commanded attention and respect, and are a contribu- tion, whose value cannot well be estimated, not only to learning and education, but to industrial progress, since manufacturing estab- lishments and other industrial undertakings are dependent for their highest success upon the introduction of scientific methods which involve research. The work at present in progress at the University is both in quality and quantity fully up to the high standard established at the outset. [3] The position which the Johns Hopkins University holds is due to two facts: It has introduced new methods of education; it has trained scholars and investigators. The trained scholar and inves- tigator is coming to play a more and more important part in the affairs of the world, and the demand for those who have this training is increasing rapidly. The University could to-day place in positions of importance in education and in the industries twice the number of men it now graduates. The influence exerted by the scholar who becomes a teacher is probably the highest. An ade- quate supply of well-trained teachers is one of the principal needs of the present time. But the trained investigator is also needed in public service and in the industries. The graduates of this University are chiefly engaged in teaching. Many others hold important posts in the Government service and still others are contributing largely to the industrial advancement of the country. OFFER OF THE GENERAL EDUCATION BOARD The General Education Board has offered the University $250,000 if an additional sum of not less than $750,000 is raised by December 31, 1910; $500,000 of this fund is to be kept intact as part of the permanent endowment, in order to provide income to cover the natural increase in work, expense, etc., incident to the new buildings which may be given as part of the balance. The offer of the General Education Board is printed as Appendix III. [4] LINES OP PROPOSED EXTENSION The University now has several projects under consideration. It desires both to establish certain departments of scientific study and research in practically new fields, and also to enlarge the work of those departments which are already established. An admirable opportunity is afforded at the present time to carry out one or more of the important lines of extension mentioned below. 1. A School of Higher Engineering. — There is a great demand at the present time for an Institution of Applied Science to which graduates of technical schools and practicing engineers may come, and which would bear the same relations to such schools as the university proper does to the college. The development of tech- nical instruction has not kept pace with the marvelous industrial growth of the country, and the conditions at this University seem peculiarly adapted to the inauguration of such work. 2. A Law School of High Grade. — There is need for the estab- lishment of a School of Jurisprudence which will furnish instruc- tion in the higher branches of the law and opportunity for scientific research — historical, comparative and critical. There is at present no such institution in the country, all other law schools being wholly vocational or professional in character. The opportunity is thus offered to inaugurate in the field of law, public and private, the same scientific methods that have given such distinction to the Johns Hopkins Medical School in the field of medicine. [5] 3. A Training School for Teachers. — While the University is doing what it can to aid teachers of the public schools in their efforts to increase their efficiency, it could do much more if the necessary funds were available. A properly equipped school for teachers would be of great service, especially to the South. 4. A Department of Preventive Medicine in connection with the Medical School. This subject is one of the most important in medicine from the point of view of the public welfare. More and more attention is being given to public health, and the need of properly trained men and women to carry on the work of preven- tion is urgent. Here is a splendid opportunity waiting to be taken advantage of, as the present staff at the Medical School is excep- tionally well qualified to direct and participate in such work. As an illustration of the confidence felt in the Trustees and Medical Faculty of this University in this respect, the recent gift of Mr. Henry Phipps of a sum approaching $1,000,000 for the foundation of a Psychiatric Clinic may be mentioned. 5. A Building for Pathology, including Hygiene and Bacteri- ology. — The University has outgrown its present quarters; and for a suitable building and endowment a sum not less than $500,000 is needed. (Plans for this building may be found in Appendix IV.) 6. Collegiate Department. — The collegiate department should be extended. The " group " arrangement of studies and the system of " advisers " which are coming to be adopted throughout the country, formed part of the original plans of the Collegiate Department of this University and have been in use here since the beginning. For the development of the College it is of the highest importance that it should be removed to Homewood. A special endowment for the College is much to be desired. There is a [6] demand for a college of a somewhat distinct type, in which, with- out neglecting athletic and social interests, the subordination of these forms of activity to the intellectual ends for which institu- tions of learning exist shall be recognized. Other lines of extension might be mentioned, but the above are the most urgent. Any contribution could be applied advanta- geously to one or the other of these objects, as the staff and equip- ment are already partly provided and can be added to as the means at our disposal permit. HOMEWOOD The University was established in old buildings, purchased and altered to suit its needs, on Howard Street, near the centre of the city, it being recognized that the University, as planned, was an experiment which had to be developed from small beginnings. It soon became necessary to provide additional accommoda- tions and the buildings now occupied were gradually erected. It is and has long been evident that the present location, which is be- coming a business centre, is not suitable for a permanent home. In recognition of the ultimate necessity for a larger and more appro- priate site, one hundred and twenty acres, admirably located, were given in 1902, and are now ready for the erection of buildings and the transfer of portions of the work of the University, with a view to the ultimate removal of the entire University to this site. The present buildings can probably be disposed of by the time the final transfer is possible. m Six buildings on the new site should be erected promptly: Two buildings — one to contain the Offices of Adminis- tration, Undergraduate Lecture Booms, and a large Assembly Hall; the other to contain the Library and the Graduate Seminaries, each cost- ing, say $250,000 $ 500,000 Four laboratories at $150,000 each 600,000 For Chemistry, Physics, Geology, and Biology. Power plant, grading, etc 100,000 Permanent Fund for maintenance, increase, etc 500,000 $1,700,000 Dormitories and a building to serve as the centre of social and religious life should be provided and can be built as funds become available. Plans suggestive of the first five buildings to be erected at Homewood have been prepared and are reproduced in Appendix IV. The naming of buildings after the donors, as in the case of McCoy and Levering Halls, will be continued. It has been sug- gested, further, that a group of persons might be glad to con- tribute to a building to be named after some one formerly con- nected with the University. There should be a Memorial Building bearing the name of the late President (xilman. Some subscriptions have already been sent in voluntarily for this purpose. A Rowland Physical Labora- tory would be most appropriate. [«] ADVANTAGES OF LOCATION The Johns Hopkins University is most favorably located. The winter climate of Baltimore is unusually agreeable and well adapted to work. The cost of living is lower than in northern cities and will compare favorably with the cost in any part of the country. The national capital can be reached in forty-five minutes so that the resources of Washington are easily available without the disadvantages incident to a political capital. This is of special value so far as books and scientific collections are concerned. Moreover, Washington is becoming more and more a place of meeting for learned societies, and this makes it possible for those connected with the Johns Hopkins University to come in frequent contact with leading men of learning of the country. The relations between the University and the South have always been close. Many Southern students have come to Baltimore for their ad- vanced work and have returned to take places in Southern colleges and universities. There are few of these that have not a number of Johns Hopkins men on the teaching staff; Appendix I will give some idea of their distribution among the Universities and Colleges r- of the country. [9] PRESENT FINANCIAL CONDITION The present financial condition of the University is, briefly stated, as follows : The Endowment consists of : Income-Bearing Funds $4,580,000.00 Buildings, land, etc. (estimated value) 1,900,000.00 Total $6,480,000.00 The Beceipts and Expenditures last year (1908-1909) were (University, College, and Medical School) : Beceipts : Tuition $ 94,528.92 Income from Endowment Funds. . 199,899.26 State of Maryland Appropriation.. 25,000.00 Miscellaneous 12,751.52 $332,179.70 Disbursements : Salaries (216 persons) $256,993.15 Expenses (wages, fuel, etc.) 85,024.98 Apparatus and Books 11,457.63 Miscellaneous 2,720.00 356,195.76 Deficit for the year $ 24,016.06 As compared with the sums available at other leading univer- sities of the country, these amounts appear small, and those familiar with the workings of universities express surprise that so much has been, and is, accomplished with such a relatively small expenditure. [10] Appendix II gives a list of the principal gifts that have been received by the University since the foundation, amounting to $3,640,000. This is more than the original endowment from Johns Hopkins. The Johns Hopkins Hospital, also founded by Johns Hopkins, forms practically the Laboratory of the Medical School, greatly increasing the efficiency and economy of both institutions. The present income-bearing funds and plant of the Johns Hopkins Hospital amount to $6,300,000, making the total assets of the two affiliated foundations about $13,000,000. Some of the most useful discoveries and notable studies of the past quarter of a century have come from men trained at the Johns Hopkins University. The University has sent its scholars and teachers to nearly every state of the Union. Its students, by the introduction of scientific methods, and by their own researches, have cheapened the cost of production in the great industrial estab- lishments of the country. It is felt, therefore, that the University is justified in appealing to public-spirited citizens throughout the whole of the United States, to assist it in the further development of its mis- sion; and this appeal is made to them in the firm belief that the past history of the University, and its further opportunity of aiding in the solution of many of the weightiest problems con- fronting our country, justify the expectation of a ready response. The authorities of the University will be glad to furnish full information in regard to the needs above specified, or any other items of interest. By order of the Board of Trustees. R.

The principal of these are : The Baxley Fund $ 23,836 Bequeathed in ,1876 by Dr. H. Willis Baxley, of Baltimore, for the use of the Medical School. The Emergency Fund op 1889 108,700 Contributed chiefly by citizens of Baltimore. Levering Hail 20,000 Erected in 1889 for the University Y. M. C. A. with funds given by Mr. Eugene Levering, of Baltimore. The John W. McCoy Fund, in all, about 500,000 Bequeathed in 1889 by John W. McCoy, of Balti- more, and used in the erection of McCoy Hall and one of the Medical School buildings, and for gen- eral purposes. The Caroline Donovan Fund 100 000 Given in 1889 by Mrs. Caroline Donovan, of Bal- timore, to establish a professorship of English Lit- erature. The Women's Medical School Fund 100,000 Given in 1890 chiefly by women of Maryland. [18] The Mart Elizabeth Garrett Fund , $306,977 Given in 1893 by Miss Mary Elizabeth Garrett, of Baltimore, for the endowment of the Medical School. The Eelief Fund of 1896 250,000 Contributed by citizens of Baltimore and Alumni of the University. The New Site " Homewood," carried on the books at $500,000. Now estimated as worth 1,000,000 Given in 1902 by William Wyman, William Keyser, Francis M. Jencks, Julian LeEoy White, and William H. Buckler, of Baltimore, and Sam- uel Keyser, of New York. The Endowment Fund o.f 1902 1,000,000 Given by citizens of Baltimore and Alumni. The Herbert B. Adams Fund 42,059 Bequeathed in 1901 by Professor Herbert B. Adams for the use of the departments of History, Economics, and Politics. The Adoniram J. Eobinson Fund 42,490 Bequeathed in 1904 by Adoniram J. Eobinson, of Baltimore, an Alumnus of the University, for the use of the department of History. The Harriet Lane Johnston Scholarship Fund. . 90,000 Bequeathed in 1904 by Mrs. Harriet Lane Johns- ton, formerly of Baltimore, to establish scholar- ships in memory of her husband and two sons. The Charles L. Marburg Fund . . . . 50,000 Given in 1907 by his sister, Miss Amelia Marburg, and his brothers, Messrs. William A. and Theodore Marburg, of Baltimore. The Eeverdt Johnson, Jr., Fund 10,000 Bequeathed in 1908 by Eeverdy Johnson for such use as the Trustees may deem proper. A total of $3,640,000 [19] In addition to the above to the University, its associated foundation, the Johns Hopkins Hospital, has received many gifts, the benefits of which are shared by the University through its medical department. Among them the following should be espec- ially mentioned : The Phipps Psychiatric Clinic, the buildings for which are now in course of construction, a gift of Henry Phipps, of New York, estimated in value at about $1,000,000, which provides also f - ; ?.- .cUai (Stg: — , Scale: 1 inch equals 25 feet.
