This page catalogues the previous Johns Hopkins University HB/NWS (and occasionally broader Near Eastern Studies) alumni and their dissertations. I attempt comprehensiveness, but err on the side of prioritizing research on the dissertations which most interest me. I have in mind a long term research project to write a history of the department, an important part of which are the dissertation experiences of its students.
For recent JHU NES alumni and their dissertations, see here.

This dissertation was advised by Paul Haupt, submitted in 1900, and subsequently published by The Lord Baltimore Press in 1902. From the preface: “This investigation contains an examination of the Hebrew influence on the language of the Authorized Version. The subject was suggested to the author by Professor Paul Haupt in the autumn of 1894. Since that time the Authorized Version has been read a number of times and carefully compared with the Hebrew text. While the list of Hebraisms in the appendix is confined to the Old Testament, the New Testament contains a great number, which the author hopes to present for publication at some future time. He takes this means of expressing his thanks to his teacher, Professor Paul Haupt, for many valuable suggestions, and to Professor James W. Bright, who, during the several interviews granted by him, proved of great assistance to the author. W.R.”
