O knihe
How, exactly, did the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions come into existence? Historians may debate the issue but playwrights can imagine it. Here, Alan M. Chesney " "dares to go where doctors and historians may not. A one-act play, The Flowering of an Idea presents in four scenes "an imaginary conversation in which an idea is born." The "dramatis personae "include Johns Hopkins himself; the London-based banker George Peabody; Daniel Coit Gilman, founder of the Johns Hopkins University; John Garrett, president of the B&O Railroad; Elihu E. Jackson, governor of Maryland; and Robert C. Davidson, mayor of Baltimore.
Chesney used Helen Thom's definitive biography, "Johns Hopkins: A Silhouette, " as a source and wrote the play to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the Johns Hopkins Hospital.
