7623-616: The listening audience. Sensationalistic newspaper publicity following the broadcast also led to the myth of the terrorized audience that has continued well into the 21st century. A third research project was that of listening habits. Because of this, a new method was developed to survey an audience – this was dubbed the Little Annie Project . The official name was the Stanton-Lazarsfeld Program Analyzer . This allowed one not only to find out if

The trustees denied her the degree for decades and refused to change
7821-417: The nation's service." This phrase serves as the basis for the university's unofficial motto, which was amended in 2016 to "Princeton in the nation's service and in the service of humanity."

8019-528: The new university and he became the university's first president. Gilman, a Yale -educated scholar, had been serving as president of the University of California, Berkeley prior to this appointment. In preparation for the university's founding, Gilman visited University of Freiburg and other German universities. Gilman launched what many at the time considered an audacious and unprecedented academic experiment to merge teaching and research. He dismissed
8118-545: The nine divisions and research centers. Each professor must be a leader in interdisciplinary research and be active in undergraduate education . Directed by Vice Provost for Research Denis Wirtz , there are currently thirty two Bloomberg Distinguished Professors at the university, including three Nobel Laureates , eight fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science , ten members of
8217-505: The north of the building is James FitzGerald 's Fountain of Freedom (1966).

In May after two months of preparation, "the 3-story, L-shaped, 7,000,000-pound building was moved 296 feet in 12 hours by 38 men and 9 hydraulic jacks..." The Annex, renamed Corwin Hall, subsequently housed
8316-419: The plan. In early March, it was revealed that "on January 9, 2019, nine senior administrators and one retired hospital CEO...contributed a total of $ 16,000" to then Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh 's re-election campaign, shortly after which a bill to institute a Johns Hopkins private police force was introduced into the Maryland General Assembly at "request [of] Baltimore City Administration." On April 8, 2019,
8415-535: The policy about admitting women. In 1893, Florence Bascomb became the university's first female PhD.

As of 2009–2010, the undergraduate population was 47% female and 53% male. In 2020, the undergraduate population of Hopkins was 53% female. On September 5, 2013, cryptographer and Johns Hopkins university professor Matthew Green posted
8514-501: The presidency, he decided that it would be best to use the university's endowment for recruiting faculty and students, deciding to, as it has been paraphrased, "build men, not buildings." In his will Hopkins stipulated that none of his endowment should be used for construction; only interest on the principal could be used for this purpose. Unfortunately, stocks in The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad , which would have generated most of
8613-469: The program's reports of mass destruction. The majority of these did not think they were hearing a literal invasion from Mars, but rather an attack by Germany. The researchers determined that radio broadcasts from the Munich Crisis may have lent credence to this supposition. Pooley and Socolow (2013), however, contend that Cantril used inaccurate audience measurement methods which grossly overestimated
8712-408: The school added a graduate professional program and was renamed to honor Woodrow Wilson , who was the 13th president of the university, governor of New Jersey and the 28th president of the United States. In two of Wilson's speeches at the university – first during its 150th anniversary celebration in 1896 and again at his inauguration as the university's president in 1902 – he mentioned "Princeton in
8811-501: The sentiment from the community, quoting a Johns Hopkins physician and professor who said "Hopkins engineers very closed and stage-managed town halls and does not execute any changes based on these town halls."

8910-404: The university adopted a "separate but equal" stance more like other Baltimore institutions. The first black undergraduate entered the school in 1945 and graduate students followed in 1967. James Nabwangu, a British-trained Kenyan, was the first black graduate of the medical school. African-American instructor and laboratory supervisor Vivien Thomas was instrumental in developing and conducting
9009-559: The university is their first choice. These students, if admitted, are required to enroll. This application is due November 1.

These applications are due January 3 and students are notified in mid-March. The cost to apply to Hopkins is $ 70, though fee waivers are available. In 2014, Johns Hopkins ended legacy preference in admissions. Johns Hopkins practices need-blind admission and meets
9108-562: The university's benefactor. Milton Eisenhower , a former university president, once spoke at a convention in Pittsburgh where the master of ceremonies introduced him as "President of John Hopkins". Eisenhower retorted that he was "glad to be here in Pitt burgh". The original board opted for an entirely novel university model dedicated to the discovery of knowledge at an advanced level, extending that of contemporary Germany. Building on
9207-505: The use of techniques such as listener surveys and "Little Annie" (Adorno thought both grossly simplified and ignored the degree to which expressed tastes were the result of commercial marketing), Adorno left the project in 1941. Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs The Princeton School of Public and International Affairs (formerly the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs )

9405-803: The world. The Johns Hopkins Digital Media Center (DMC) is a multimedia lab space as well as an equipment, technology and knowledge resource for students interested in exploring creative uses of emerging media and use of technology. Johns Hopkins offers a number of degrees in various undergraduate majors leading to the BA and BS and various majors leading to the MA, MS and PhD for graduate students. Because Hopkins offers both undergraduate and graduate areas of study, many disciplines have multiple degrees available. Biomedical engineering , perhaps one of Hopkins's best-known programs, offers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. The opportunity to participate in important research
9504-404: Was America's first coeducational, graduate-level medical school, and became a prototype for academic medicine that emphasized bedside learning, research projects, and laboratory training. In his will and in his instructions to the trustees of the university and the hospital, Hopkins requested that both institutions be built upon the vast grounds of his Baltimore estate, Clifton. When Gilman assumed
9603-480: Was also announced that Wilson College, the first of Princeton's six undergraduate residential colleges, would be renamed First College .
