The Johns Hopkins University is a private university located in Baltimore, with major campuses in Washington, D.C., and Montgomery County, Maryland. Hopkins also has academic facilities in Nanjing, China, and in Bologna and Florence, Italy. It was the first research university in the United States. Johns Hopkins was opened in Baltimore in 1876 and is named after one of its benefactors, Baltimore merchant Johns Hopkins, who left $7 million in 1873 for the university and Johns Hopkins Hospital. Hopkins' first name is Johns because it was the last name of his great-grandmother. The university and the Johns Hopkins Health System, which includes the hospital, now fall under the Johns Hopkins Institutions. Johns Hopkins University is made up of nine schools, including the Peabody Institute, which became a part of Johns Hopkins in 1977. The university originally only admitted men; the first female undergraduates were admitted to Hopkins in 1970. Some female graduate students were allowed to attend Hopkins starting in 1877, but the university did not officially allow female graduate students until 1907. The university currently offers 49 majors for full- and part-time undergraduates. The Division III Johns Hopkins Blue Jays play in the Centennial Conference, but both men's and women's lacrosse at Hopkins are Division I teams and do not participate in the Centennial Conference. The Blue Jays colors are Columbia blue and black, but the university's colors are gold and sable. Notable Johns Hopkins alumni include actor John Astin, director Wes Craven, journalist Wolf Blitzer, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, biologist and author Rachel Carson, IBM chairman and CEO Samuel J. Palmisano, tuberculosis researcher George Comstock and former U.S. President Woodrow Wilson.
