 '''Myles Cooper''' was the second president of [[King's College]] and a loyalist who opposed the [[w:American Revolution|American Revolution]]. He was allegedly saved from an angry revolutionary mob by [[Alexander Hamilton]] (see [[Banishment of Myles Cooper]]).
 He is notable for proposing that [[King's College]] become the center of a university encompassing all the previously-founded North American colleges (i.e. be granted suzerainty over [[Harvard]], [[Yale]], etc.), requiring that students live on campus in [[College Hall]] (the last time Columbia would house students until the opening of [[Hartley Hall|Hartley]] and [[Wallach Hall|Wallach Halls]] in the 20th century), ordering a fence built around [[College Hall]] in order to keep the students away from internationally recognized prostitutes that hung around the neighborhood, and possessing a far more impressive wine cellar than library at his passing.
