Biographical / Historical
Hopkins Retrospective is an initiative created by the Office of the President to expand understanding of the history of Hopkins and weave that history into the university experience.

Audio and video oral histories have been recorded by Jennifer Kinniff, Hopkins Retrospective Program Manager, Stuart "Bill" Leslie, Professor of the History of Science and Technology, and students in an astronomy course examining the impact of the Hubble Space Telescope on Johns Hopkins University.
