JESUP, MORRIS KETCHUM (1830-1908) , American banker and philanthropist, was born at Westport, Connecticut, on the 21st of June 1830. In 1842 he went to New

  City, where after some experience in business he established a banking

in 1852. In 1856 he organized the banking firm of M. K.
Jesup
  & Company, which after two reorganizations became Cuyler,
Morgan

He was best known, however, as a munificent patron of scientific research, a large contributor to the needs of education, and a public-spirited citizen of wide interests, who did much for the betterment of social conditions in New
York
 . He contributed largely to the funds for the Arctic expeditions of
Commander
  Robert E. Peary, becoming president of the Peary Arctic Club in 1899. To the American museum of natural history, in New York City, he gave large sums in his lifetime and bequeathed $1,000,000.
