Ira Remsen was the first chemistry professor at Hopkins and the university's second president. His legacy on campus was cemented in 1927 when the new chemistry building was named in his honor, and his ashes were interred behind a plaque shortly after the building's opening. #HappyHalloween

Today, off-site storage facilities, hundreds of materials are moved between campuses weekly through an efficient system serviced by many Hopkins affiliates. If you ever get the chance to see these library staff members who are always on the move, send a thank you their way when you do!
