Big Peabody night at
Meyerhoff
In his later years, American composer Leonard Bernstein
actively campaigned for world peace. When he spoke at the
Johns Hopkins commencement ceremony in 1980, Bernstein, who
received an honorary degree that day, described both his
vision of global harmony and his hope for humanity.
Twenty-two years later, Bernstein's vision
is reborn in Baltimore, in both his words and music.
A massive assembly of Peabody talent takes
to the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall stage this Saturday night to
perform a trio of works by three of the 20th-century's most
heralded composers, including a rare live production of
Bernstein's Third Symphony, Kaddish.

DOGEE unveils new undergrad
major
For many years, graduate students have flocked to Johns
Hopkins' Homewood campus to study under researchers in the
Whiting School's Department of Geography and Environmental
Engineering, widely recognized as one of the nation's
best.
Beginning in fall 2002, DOGEE will expand
its program to accommodate undergraduates who want to make
environmental engineering their primary area of study. The
department lready offers several classes geared toward
undergraduates and since 1994 has offered a minor in
environmental engineering. Now, however, Hopkins will become
one of fewer than 40 schools nationwide to award a bachelor
of science degree in environmental engineering.
