dominated corporate finance and industrial consolidation in the United States of America in

the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Electric Company to form General Electric

https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T

directed the banking coalition that stopped the Panic of 1907

leading financier of the Progressive Era

Adrian Wooldridge characterized Morgan as America's "greatest banker"

Morgan died in Rome, Italy, in his sleep in 1913 at the age of 75, leaving his fortune and

business to his son,

John Pierpont "Jack" Morgan Jr

https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._P._Morgan_Jr.

(September 7, 1867 – March 13, 1943)

1913 inherited the family fortune and took over the business interests including

J.P. Morgan & Co

graduate of St. Paul's School and Harvard

Supported the New York Lying-In Hospital, the Red Cross, the Episcopal Church, and

provided an endowment for the creation of a rare books and manuscripts collection

at the Morgan Library

https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan_Library_%26_Museum

brokered a deal that positioned his company as the sole munitions and supplies

purchaser during World War I for the British and French governments. The results

produced a one percent commission on $3 billion (that is, $30 million) to the company

was also a banking broker for financing to foreign governments both during and after the war

graduated from St. Paul's School and later, Harvard College, in 1886, where he was a

member of the Delphic Club, formerly known as the Delta Phi

https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Phi

Delta Phi (ΔΦ) is a fraternity founded in 1827 at Union College in

Schenectady, New York. Along with the Kappa Alpha Society and

Sigma Phi Society, Delta Phi was the third and last member of the

Union Triad

Maltese Cross, a symbol used by the Knights of Malta still worn by

members of Delta Phi

https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltese_cross

This connection to the Knights of Malta led Delta Phi to become

known as "The St. Elmo Club", a name first used by the Omicron

chapter at Yale University, which since has transformed into a senior

secret society known as St. Elmo Society. The brothers there used

the name of St. Elmo, the patron saint of mariners and the Knights

of Malta. Some of Delta Phi's chapter houses are also known

as "St. Elmo Hall".

https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St.Elmo(secret_society)

was founded in 1889 as an independent entity for

seniors within the nationally chartered fraternity,

Delta Phi (ΔΦ), Omicron Chapter (1889–1925).

1965, a decade after the Sheffield school had been

incorporated into Yale College, St. Elmo became a

secret society in the traditional sense of

Skull and Bones (1832), Scroll and Key (1841),

and Wolf's Head (1883), which had selected its

members from the Academic Department

(the liberal arts college).

His siblings included Louisa Pierpont Morgan (1866–1946), who married Herbert L. Satterlee

(1863–1947), Juliet Pierpont Morgan (1870–1952) who married William Pierson Hamilton

(1869–1950), and Anne Tracy Morgan (1873–1952), a philanthropist. His paternal

grandparents were Junius Spencer Morgan (1813–1890) and Juliet Pierpont (1816–1884),

the daughter of John Pierpont.

played a prominent part in financing World War I. Following its outbreak, he made the first

loan of $12,000,000 to Russia

1915, a loan of $500,000,000 was made to France and Britain following negotiations by the

Anglo-French Financial Commission

https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-French_Financial_Commission

The firm's involvement with British and French interests fueled charges the bank was

conspiring to maneuver the United States into supporting the Allies in order to rescue

its loans

His personal friendship with Cecil Spring Rice ensured that from 1915 until sometime after

the United States entered the war, his firm was the official purchasing agent for the British

government, buying cotton, steel, chemicals and food, receiving a 1% commission on all

purchases

https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecil_Spring_Rice

Morgan organized a syndicate of about 2200 banks and floated a loan of $500,000,000 to

the Allies. The British sold off their holdings of American securities and by late 1916 were

dependent on unsecured loans for further purchases

At the beginning of World War I, US Treasury Secretary William McAdoo and others in the

Wilson administration were very suspicious of J. P. Morgan & Co.'s enthusiastic role as

British agent for purchasing and banking. When the United States entered the war, this

gave way to close collaboration, in the course of which Morgan received financial

concessions

1914 to 1919, he was a member of the advisory council for the Federal Reserve Bank

of New York.

https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve_Bank_of_New_York

3 July 1915, an intruder, Eric Muenter, entered Morgan's Long Island mansion and shot him

twice. This was ostensibly to bring about an embargo on arms, and in protest of his

profiteering from war. Morgan, however, quickly recovered from his wounds

>>373880

https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Muenter

Muenter tried to kill himself on the night of July 5 by slashing his wrist with a pencil

eraser metal retainer. On July 6, he was dead. New York’s counterterrorism

police at first believed that he was killed by an assassin sent to silence him with

two bullets in the head. But the version they decided on was that Muenter ran out

of a briefly opened door and jumped head-first onto the concrete floor of the jail

corridor twenty feet below.[1][7][8][9] Muenter's wife received a note from her

husband warning that a ship bound for England would sink on the 7th of July.

On that day, just two days after his suicide, the crew was warned but they

could not find the bomb on the Minnehaha. It exploded, but had been placed far

away from the munitions and caused minor damage

After World War I and the Versailles Treaty, Morgan Guaranty managed Germany's reparation

payments

1919 he was for a time chairman of the international committee, composed of American,

British and French bankers, for the protection of the holders of Mexican securities

November 1919, he was made a director of the Foreign Finance Corporation, which was

organized to engage in the investment of funds chiefly in foreign enterprises

By the 1920s, Morgan Guaranty had become one of the world's most important banking

institutions, as a leading lender to Germany and Europe

was a director in numerous corporations, including the U.S. Steel Corp., the Pullman Co.,

the Aetna Insurance Co., and the Northern Pacific Railway Co

In 1890, Morgan married Jane Norton Grew (d. 1925), daughter of Boston banker and mill owner Henry Sturgis Grew. She was the aunt of Henry Grew Crosby. The couple raised four children:

Junius Spencer Morgan III (1892–1960), who married Louise Converse (1895–1974),

daughter of Frederick Shepherd Converse

Jane Norton Morgan Nichols (1893–1981), who married George Nichols (1878–1950)

Frances Tracy Pennoyer (1897–1989), who married Paul Geddes Pennoyer (d. 1970)

Henry Sturgis Morgan (1900–1982), a founding partner of Morgan Stanley who married

Catherine Lovering Adams (1902–1988), daughter of Charles Francis Adams III,

descendants of the 2nd U.S. President, John Adams

Alice Morgan, who died at a young age of typhoid fever.

1924, Morgan created the Pierpont Morgan Library as a public institution as a memorial to his

father. Belle da Costa Greene, Morgan's personal librarian, became the first director and

continued the aggressive acquisition and expansion of the collections of illuminated

manuscripts, authors' original manuscripts, incunabula, prints, and drawings, early printed

Bibles, and many examples of fine bookbinding. Today the library is a complex of buildings

which serve as a museum and scholarly research center.

Morgan donated many valuable works to the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Morgan was a member of the Jekyll Island Club (aka The Millionaires Club) on Jekyll Island,

Georgia, as had been his father J. P. Morgan Sr

https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jekyll_Island_Club

founded in 1886 when members of an incorporated hunting and recreational club

purchased the island for $125,000 (about $3.1 million in 2017) from

John Eugene du Bignon

http:// www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/history-archaeology/dubignon-family

With his brother-in-law, Newton Finney, John Eugene organized a

hunting club, and Finney used his contacts in New York to attract

investors among the monied and social elite, such as J. P. Morgan,

Joseph Pulitzer, and William K. Vanderbilt.
