Money manager Bill Miller will give $75 million to Johns Hopkins University’s philosophy department, which he credits with developing his investing skills as a student.
The commitment will help the department increase full-time faculty to 22 from 13 and create endowed professorships for the chairperson and eight others, the school said Tuesday in a statement. The university also aims to attract more undergraduates to study philosophy through new courses.
