More than eight months after leaving Los Angeles on foot, Johns Hopkins Class of 2001 graduates Bill Faria and Josh Kampf walked into New York City on Tuesday, completing a cross-country trek in memory of the victims of terrorist acts. In their backpacks, the two carried 4,000 flags printed on a 20 ft. by 4 ft. bolt of fabric, which was taken to Ground Zero on Sept. 11 by a victim's support group from Pennsylvania.
The date is May 24, 2006. You are squirming on an uncomfortable hover-folding-chair, staring up at your Class President giving a boring speech behind the hover-dais, underneath a giant hover-folding-tent set up for the occasion on the field behind Mittal Hall (completed in 2005).
A Johns Hopkins University student was shot on the buttocks early Wednesday morning while she attended a series of parties on the 3200 block of St. Paul Street. The suspect, a heavy-set white male who lives on the block, allegedly brandished a pellet gun and shot the victim at approximately 1:25 a.m., Baltimore City Police said.
Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education Ralph Kuncl will be leaving Johns Hopkins University this June to take the position of Provost at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. Kuncl, who was named the first Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education last July, accepted the new position on March 5.
Since the beginning of last semester, Mathematics Professor W. Stephen Wilson has taken an interesting approach to teaching the Advanced Algebra class, turning it into an experiment in group learning. Unlike most math classes at Hopkins, students don't meet in a huge lecture hall three times a week to watch a professor write equations on a blackboard for an hour at a time. Instead, they spend class working out problems in groups of three or four students, with Wilson at hand to respond to questions about the material and clarify topics that students are unsure about.
You signal for your party to halt as a dark, cloaked figure emerges from the woods ahead. Without a word, he raises both arms, and the parched ground of the northern plain begins to rumble, knocking two of your companions off-balance. As you steady yourself, the earth between you and the stranger begins to rise, taking on the form of a giant, twenty-foot tall lizard that immediately charges your position. You order three horsemen forward to intercept the creature, but before they can move, three bolts of lightning from the stranger's hand knock them to the ground.
On February 15, 1898, an early-morning explosion rocked the deck of the USS Maine, which was stationed off of the coast of Cuba, sinking the ship and killing 254 members of its crew. To this day, the cause of the explosion remains a mystery.
For students fortunate enough to know about it, the Maryland Space Grant Observatory (MSGO), located on the roof of the Bloomberg Center for Physics and Astronomy, is one of the hidden gems of the Johns Hopkins University's Homewood campus. What many don't know (and are surprised to find out) is that the Morris W. Offit Telescope - the centerpiece of the MSGO - was paid for by an anonymous donor, a fact that may seem strange to some current students.
As this year's freshmen moved into their new AMR rooms, another junior class prepared to live on its own in the city of Baltimore. Among other things, this meant leaving the University's meal plan, which many look forward to from the moment they arrive at Hopkins.
As far as I can tell, Tamber's, located on the corner of St. Paul and 34th Streets and known to many as "Nifty Fifties," is a restaurant suffering from an extreme identity crisis.
In a move that administrators called extremely rare, the Johns Hopkins University cancelled classes and events at all but one of its academic divisions on Tuesday after two planes destroyed the World Trade Center towers in New York City and another crashed into the Pentagon. The Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Md. was also closed.
You've spent your last year writing essays explaining why you love Hopkins (or Harvard, Princeton, Yale, MIT or CalTech, depending on which application you were working on). You wasted your Saturdays taking all sorts of standardized tests. You scrambled to join every club on campus so you could list more activities on your college applications, and you snatched up almost every honor that can be bestowed on a high school student.
Every year, their flyers clutter the bulletin boards in Wolman, McCoy and the AMRs. Uninitiated freshman candidates promise everything from a better meal plan to more attractive people on campus and an end to grade inflation. They are among the few students at Hopkins that can truthfully claim to have school spirit and attend social activities, rather than just complaining about the lack of things to do here.
