JJI President Emeritus (2017-2024) Greg Schaller penned this important piece for the Federalist. At John Jay, we have always been honored to savor the past and build on what has been handed to us.

“In discarding our past, we not only reject the cultural inheritance of our forefathers, but we also lose sight of the model of their humanity to show us how we, as fellow flawed individuals, can make a difference in our society.” https://thefederalist.com/2026/04/13/americas-250th-anniversary-is-the-perfect-time-to-resurrect-our-slain-statues/

“I vow’d that I would dedicate my powers
To thee and thine: have I not kept the vow?
With beating heart and streaming eyes, even now
I call the phantoms of a thousand hours
Each from his voiceless grave: they have in vision’d bowers
Of studious zeal or love’s delight
Outwatch’d with me the envious night:
They know that never joy illum’d my brow
Unlink’d with hope that thou wouldst free
This world from its dark slavery,
That thou, O awful LOVELINESS,
Wouldst give whate’er these words cannot express.”

-P.B. Shelley, Hymn to Intellectual Beauty
