John Jay Chapman John Jay Chapman was born March 2, 1862, in New York City. He died November 4, 1933. Chapman entered Harvard University Law School in 1885, after attending Harvard College (1880-1884). He was admitted to the New York Bar in 1888. There is mention, in the biographies, of Chapman practicing law, but little is said of this part of his life, and he seems to have abandoned the profession without great ado. Chapman was, more than he was ever a lawyer, an essayist, poet, dramatist, critic, and translator.
