New page

'''John Jay''' [[King's College]] [[1764]] was an influential figure in the early United States. With [[Alexander Hamilton]], he authored the ''Federalist Papers'', arguing for a stronger national government, which heavily influenced the creation of the current United States Constitution. Although he is best known thereafter for being the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Jay also served as Secretary of State, signing the treaty with Britain that bears his name, and as Governor of New York.

Jay, with Hamilton, also proved a loyal alumnus, playing a role in the reopening of King's College as [[Columbia College]] in [[1784]]. Supporting the college was a family tradition; John's older brother [[Dr. Peter Jay]] had helped raise funds in Britain that had contributed to the creation of King's College several decades before.

At Columbia, [[John Jay Hall]], [[John Jay Dining Hall]], the [[John Jay Award]], and the [[John Jay Scholars]] are all named for him.

 Jay was allowed to return to King’s in time to receive his degree on [[May 22]], [[1764]]. Cooper, Jay's son recorded, "by the kindness of his reception, suffered him to perceive that he had not by his conduct forfeited any part of his good opinion." William Jay pointed out, with even greater satisfaction, that JJ had "retained among his papers to the day of his death a copy of the statutes, from which it appears that the conduct for which he was suspended was not even indirectly forbidden by them." Jay's copy of those regulations, signed by him and Myles Cooper, bears out that interpretation.<ref>http://beatl.barnard.columbia.edu/cuhis3057/04Folder/JJay1764.htm</ref>

+''King's College Alumni'' presents a somewhat different portrait of this incident: "In young Jay's veins there was no British blood...and as a result of his untimely insistence upon this fact in President Cooper's presence, he was rusticated shortly before graduation".<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=SGLOAAAAMAAJ King's College Alumni] p. 25</ref>
