Morphology
Johns + Hopkins
This is a fixed proper name made from surnames (Johns + Hopkins) and does not compositionaly convey 'a private research university'; knowing the literal words does not let a learner infer the institutional meaning. Proper nouns for institutions are arbitrary and must be learned as lexical items, so a B1 learner who only knows the constituents would not reliably understand the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The name Johns Hopkins comes from a 19th-century businessman, Johns Hopkins, who left money to start the university and its hospital. Because he gave that money, the places were 'named after' him, so today Johns Hopkins refers to the famous university and hospital.
