Johns Hopkins Had A Healthy Prescription For Business And Education - Investors.com: "ohns Hopkins (1795-1873) "was a frugal and humble man who saw no reason to leave monuments to himself, so he destroyed most of his personal papers and business correspondence once they had outlived their immediate purpose," James Stimpert, senior reference archivist at Johns Hopkins University's Sheridan Libraries, told IBD.
Hopkins' bequest of $7 million (worth $138 million today) to his namesake institutions was the largest U.S. donation at the time, presaging Andrew Carnegie's call to philanthropy — in the form of the 1889 article "The Gospel of Wealth" — by more than a decade."
