Members of the university community gathered at the Johns Hopkins monument on North Charles Street on Feb. 22 to celebrate Commemoration Day 2005, the 129th anniversary of the university's official opening. The small ceremony, coordinated by the Maryland chapter of the JHU Alumni Association, honored the date Daniel Coit Gilman was inaugurated as the university's first president.

Among those in attendance were, from the left, James Schaefer, president of the Maryland chapter; Jerome Schyndman, executive assistant to President William R. Brody; Wendy Brody, wife of the president; and Barry Richmond, a member of the Maryland chapter's executive committee, who gave the Commemoration Day address.
