I couldn't run. I was all in. I told myself that this was not an 800-meter race but one of 20 yards. I only had to run 20 yards...

On view last week was the largest item of all: a 640-sq. ft. mural for the main lobby, made up of panels depicting the early faculty of the Medical School, the early faculty of Johns Hopkins, philanthropists of Baltimore, the picture of Shriver's class of 1891 and a deep, cotillion bow from Bachelor Shriver to The Ten Famous Beauties of Baltimore, each shown "at the height...
