Abstract The following investigation is intended to determine how the large-cap US multinational corporation was further advanced during the pivotal years of 1895-1913 by a leading private unincorporated institution—House of Morgan. Historical review and assessment focused on the broader US society, government, monetary landscape, the House of Morgan, leading large cap US multinationals; looking at both the key organizations and underlying people in power. The report framework focuses upon the development of the US super structure within which all major companies work down to the way actual institutions organize economic assets in the form of a multinational corporation. Questions that have been considered include: how was business conducted globally with so little formal mechanisms in place, the importance of the various forms of capital for business, and the various roles politics played in business development.

This was afterward modified so as to include biographical data, deemed worthy of preservation. The record of students, extended beyond the half-century limit to 1830, the date of the organization of the Teachers' Seminary (at the wish of Principal Bancroft, who was deeply interested in the work), was completed and stereotyped in 1892.

  • J. Pierpont Morgan
    J. PIERPONT MORGAN (1837-1913). Financier. Probably the most prolific and powerful banker in American Financial history, J. Pierpont Morgan epitomized the financial genius, courage and flair that made possible many of the most important financings of the late 1800s and early 1900s. His career in banking spanned the period from Abraham Lincoln’s administration to Theodore Roosevelt’s. Throughout his career he displayed a financial skill and daring matched by few in the entire history of Wall Street. Following the financial panic of 1893, Morgan helped reorganize nu- merous railroads including giants such as The Northern Pacific, The Erie, The Southern and The Philadelphia and Reading. His formation of The United States Steel Corpo- ration in 1901 created the largest corporation in the world at that time. During the panic of 1907, it was Mor- gan who averted a nationwide catastrophe by lending money to banks to keep them from closing. “A sociable, convivial man who thoroughly enjoyed life and entertained what would now be known as ‘beautiful people’ on his famous steam yacht, the Cor- sair, he nevertheless frightened people by his overwhelming personality and his pierc- ing eye, which was compared to the headlight of an oncoming locomotive. Seldom has a man of such complexity and power crossed the world’s stage.” (The Incredible Pierpont Morgan by Cass Canfield). DUNCAN, SHERMAN & CO. DABNEY, MORGAN & CO. GEORGE PEABODY & CO. J. P.
