<p>so i hoped the title "John Hopkins" made you cringe, and u had to look at this thread out of disgust to justify this wrongdoing to JHU. so i have a little story for you folks:</p>
<p>i was at the doctors office today and a nurse was making some small talk and she asked me what colleges am i looking at and where i've been accepted...so i proudly state Johns Hopkins. but then 5 min later she tells the receptionist: "hey, did you hear. this guy got into John Hopkins." and then that receptionist told someone else and she said John Hopkins. so seeing it written without an 's' is not too bad, but hearing it pronounced without an s is almost unbearable. it just doesn't flow...</p>
<p>so what do you guys think? anyone have similar opinions or experiences?</p>
<p>AdmissionsDaniel, do you know who really gave the "Pittburgh" speach at University of Pittsburgh? Back in the dark ages, when I went to Hopkins, I had always heard that it was Milton Eisenhower. Do you know the truth?</p>
<p>When I first heard the story, I heard it attributed to President Brody. But then one of my colleagues said it was a past president but didn't know who. I have done a bit of research on the topic, but never came up with a credible source. </p>
<p>Thanks, AdmissionsDaniel. I can put one theory to rest - it wasn't President Brody, since I was there during President Muller's tenure. Knowing Eisenhower's sense of humor, it sounds like him, so I'll just keep believing that!</p>
<p>Recent editorial</a> comments in the JHU alumni magazine attribute the "Pittburg" quote to President Eisenhower. They also indicate that President Muller once made a similar comment at the Shoreham ("Horeham") Hotel in DC.</p>
