Within hours of University officials' announcement of an anonymous $100 million donation, it was revealed that billionaire Hopkins alumnus and New York mayor Michael Bloomberg was the unidentified benefactor.

'A person familiar with Bloomberg's philanthropy confirmed Thursday's gift on condition of anonymity, citing the Republican mayor's desire for privacy,' the Associated Press reported Feb. 3.

Despite this information, the University maintained the donor's anonymity."
