"Jubilee" at Johns Hopkins University

BY E. E. C.

The Associated Press has doubtless made every one acquainted with the recent occurrence in connection with the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. This "Jubilee," which celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of the existence of the University, was a notable event, a veritable "red letter day" in its annals, and also in those of the city.

The spirit of the occasion was manifestly that of good-will and love from all, to all. The pardonable pride and loving interest in the University, expressed by its older and younger sister-universities, goes to prove that it is possible for those interested in and pursuing kindred tastes and objects to work together in the bond of unity, each glorying in the progress and higher achievements of the other, seeing in this their own possible advancement. The spirit of brotherly love and interest, devotion to higher ideals from their standpoint, evidence of hard-earned honors, the joy, zeal, and youthful spirits of its retiring and in-coming presidents, were wholesome object-lessons for even Christian Scientists.

It may interest the readers of our dear Sentinel to know that there was a sprinkling of Christian Scientists among them. Three Christian Scientists, wearing the cap and gown of the University, had their places in the long procession of men distinguished for their good work among the leading educators of to-day, and occupied chairs on the platform.
