TRUSTEES.

It should never be forgotten in considering the history of such a foundation that the ultimate responsibility for its organization and government rests upon the Board of Trustees.  If they are enlightened and high-minded men, devoted to the advancement of education, their influence will be felt in every department of instruction.  The Johns Hopkins University has been exceptionally favored in this respect.  Mr. Hopkins chose the original body with the same sagacity that he showed in all his career as a business man; and as, one by one, vacancies have occurred, men of the same type have been selected, by cooeptation, for these important positions.  The names of the Trustees from the beginning are as follows: 

1867 GEORGE WILLIAM BROWN.
1867 GALLOWAY CHESTON. 1867 GEORGE W. DOBBIN.
1867 JOHN FONERDEN.
1867 JOHN W. GARRETT. 1867 CHARLES J.M.  GWINN. 1867 LEWIS N. HOPKINS.
1867 WILLIAM HOPKINS. 1867 REVERDY JOHNSON, JR. 1867 FRANCIS T. KING.
1867 THOMAS M. SMITH. 1867 FRANCIS WHITE. 1870 JAMES CAREY THOMAS. 1878 C. MORTON STEWART. 1881 JOSEPH P. ELLIOTT. 1881 J. HALL PLEASANTS. 1881 ALAN P. SMITH. 1886 ROBERT GARRETT. 1891 JAMES L. McLANE.
