To National Fame

The STORY OF THE JOHNS
HOPKINS
BY Bertram M. Bernheim, M. D.
(WhtttleSey House; $780,
DR.. Bernheim has written a brief
history of the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity Medical School. The school,
with its hospital and various clinics,
has attained such fame that it may
be forgotten sometimes that the
Baltimore institution has a college
Of liberal arts and a good one.
The author has a short opening
chapter on Johns Hopkins, concern
ing whose personal life, he says, not
great deal is known to this day.
Mr.. Hopkins was born in 1795. He
failed to get much education, but
became financial power. Why, late
in life, he left his money to found
university DR.. Bernheim regards
as an enigma, though he suggests
that a mere cultured cousin whom
Mr.. Hopkins loved in his youth and
kept in touch with may have in
fuenced him.
The university was started in 1876.
The hospital was not opened until
1889 and the medical school en-
rolled its first class four years later.
The swift rise of the medical school
and the hospital to national emf
nence DR.. Bernheim attributes en-
tirely to four great physicians who
associated themselves there in its
earliest days: Dr. William Osler, the
internist, who Is regarded as per-
haps the greatest physician of his
generation; DR.. William H. Welch,
the pathologist; DR.. William S. Hal
stead, the surgeon, and DR.. Howard
Kelly, the gynecologist. And they
and the system they started at
tracted others, such as Harvey Cush-
ing. the pioneer in brain surgery,
and his successor, Walter Dandy;
Hugh Young, the urologist; Adolph
Meyer, the first head of the Phipps
Psychiatric Clinic, and others.
THE Hopkins" is Washington's
neighbor, and so many of our people
have sought advice and treatment
there that any account of it has
particular interest here. DR.. Bern
helm, associate professor emeritus of
surgery has known most of the no.
tables there, and he writes of them
Interestingly. His book, though nom
technical, probably will be of more
interest to medical men than to the
general reader. 1t is more factual
than colorful. The definitive his
tory of this great institution re-
mains to be written. &C. B. j.

three volume life published in the
late 1920s.
Although DR.. Freeman has some
new material and his conclusions
show signs of his own unmistakable
authority as an author, the present
volumes are not likely to arouse
a comparable controversy. For one
thing, he is the beneficiary of new
appreciation of realism in biography
to which he himself has contrib
uted materially in earlier works.
Thus there is the appearance only Of
reality and understandable econom-
les in his account of the system Of
land expansion which prevailed in
Virginia in the time of Washington's
youth. The planters of that era
supplemented the growing Of to-
bacco and the rearing of slaves
with extensive land speculation.
They bought up Western tracts

West. The intensely ambitious
young Washington shared in these
selfish pursuits.
The Young Virginian.
This society is described at great

Washington and his times. There

it was valuable training and

For precise, readable and tense mil

But the French and Indian en-

who was to command our Armies
in the great fight for independence
from England and to lead the young
