Biography

At the time of its founding in 1876, the Johns Hopkins University had no departments and languages were grouped together. In 1880, the Romance and Teutonic languages (including German) were separated. In 1888, German was separated from English to improve the German language instruction program. In 2006, the Department of German and the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures were combined and became the Department of German and Romance Languages and Literatures.
