Synopsis
This book moves beyond simply recounting the founding of Johns Hopkins University to discuss the profound and groundbreaking changes the author argues the institution wrought on higher education in America. Drawing on original archival sources and interviews, the book explores the drive to establish a graduate-level research institution in the United States against the backdrop of the prevailing undergraduate model. The author examines how Johns Hopkins brought together leading scholars and encouraged novel approaches to teaching and learning, ultimately transforming the state of graduate education in America. Through its introduction of the seminar method and its emphasis on original research, Johns Hopkins has served as a model for other universities to emulate, leaving a lasting impact on the American higher education landscape.
