Homewood Campus Tour

The Sidney Lanier Memorial is located along Charles Street at the rear entrance to the Alumni Memorial Residences. It was sculpted in 1941 by Hans Schuler, and donated to Hopkins by the Municipal Art Society of Baltimore. Lanier, a lecturer in English at Hopkins from 1879 until his death in 1881, was the most widely acclaimed Southern poet of the post-Civil War period. He was also an accomplished musician, and, before assuming his post at Hopkins, he was lead flutist of the Peabody Conservatory Orchestra. The monument was unveiled on February 3,1942, the centenary of Lanier's birth.
