The Johns Hopkins community gathered on the Upper Quad Wednesday evening, commemorating Sept. 11 with friends and colleagues in prayer and contemplation. The vigil, which began at 7:30 p.m. and lasted approximately an hour, marked the final event in a day of remembrance.
As students clustered in small groups on the quad, President William R. Brody stepped up to the microphone and began to read the names of eight colleagues and alumni of Johns Hopkins who were killed in the attacks. Each name had a story behind it, and the Hopkins community sat in silence as Brody paid tribute to their lives.
Sharon Kugler, University chaplain, admitted the difficulty of finding the right words for the occasion.
