History
The house is named in honor of Jesse Macy, a highly respected professor and one of the foremost political scientists of his time. At age 17, Macy entered Grinnell College (then Iowa College). Drafted into military service during the Civil War, he served as a Quaker non-combatant, then returned to Grinnell to graduate in 1870. In 1885, he joined the faculty as a professor of political science. He devoted himself to teaching and to writing many books on political, social, religious, and international subjects, including one of the earliest U.S. government textbooks, aptly named Our Government. After retiring, he traveled more extensively and formed close associations with people such as inventor James Bryce and playwright George Bernard Shaw.

Religion QuakerJesse Macy (June 21, 1842 - N United_ovember 2, 1919) was an American States> political scientist and of the late 19th and early 20th century, specializing in the history of American political parties , party systems , and the Civil War. He spent most of his professional career at his alma mater, Grinnell College
Jesse Macy, the thirteenth of fourteen children, was born to Quakerparents in Indiana, but the family moved to central Iowa in 1856[2] and started farming outside , near the newly-founded town of Grinnell .At age 17, he entered Iowa College , now Grinnell College. During the Civil War , he served in the Union army and he did not graduate until after the war, earning an A.B. in 1870.During the 1870s, Macy started what would become a long-term correspondence with James Bryce , a noted British jurist and politician. In 1884, he completed his Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins University . The next year, he returned to the Midwest to take a professorship at Iowa College . For the next forty-two years, Macy taught history and political science at the college.
In the 1890s, Macy defended radical aspects of the burgeoning social gospel taught at Iowa College by professor of Applied Christianity George Herron and college president George A. Gates article, saying:
Suppose some emissary of darkness had spied out our liberty and had arraigned Iowa College before the public as a place where young people were taught the dangerous doctrine of evolution. It may be that at so early a date the young professors would have been sent adrift and the public would have been assured that Iowa College was a place where only safe opinions were allowed! That is a place where only imbeciles and hypocrites are educated.He was also a leading author of political science textbooks. Macy's 1896 manual on American civil government, Our Government. How It Grew, What It Does, And How it Does It, was an influential primer for university students and his 1897 The English Constitution: A Commentary on its Nature and Growth was acclaimed for providing the necessary foundation in English law to correctly understand American law.
In his 1904 work Party Organization and Machinery Macy wrote, "While our party system is without Old World models, it is strikingly in harmony with our other forms of political activity...." and "Various references to party and faction found in The Federalist illustrate the type of American ideas which prevailed before the American party system appeared" (pp. xiv-xvi). The work also included a whole chapter entitled "Effect of the City upon the Party System".
In 1911, Grinnell awarded Macy an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws
After retiring in 1912, Macy traveled widely and continued writing until his death in 1919.[2]
In February 2008, Grinnell's board of trustees voted to name one of the college office buildings "Jesse Macy House" in memory of the long-serving professor. The building, at 1205 Park St., houses a number of interdisciplinary centers, including the Center for Peace Studies and the Rosenfield Program.[

Jesse Macy, for many years professor of political science at Grinnell College, Iowa, and president of the American Political Science Association in 1916, died early in November, 1919. A pioneer in the United States in the systematic study and teaching of politics in a small institution in a new agricultural community, he gained a national and international reputation in his field.
Born in 184-2, in Henry County, Indiana, of a Quaker, abolitionist family, he took an active part in the hospital service of the Union
army during the Civil War, and in 1870 was graduated from Iowa (now
Grinnell) College. A year later he was appointed principal of the academy at this institution; in 1883 he became acting professor of
history and political science in the college; and two years later he was appointed professor of political science (probably the first in this subject), a position which he held until retired as professor emeritus in 1912.
Aside from several small books, dealing mainly with local institutions in Iowa, his works are: The English Constitution (1897),
Political Parties in the United States, 1841-61 (1900), Party Organization and Machinery (1904), and (with J. W. Gannaway) Comparative Free Government (1915). Among his shorter articles may be noted his presidential address before the American Political Science Association, on "The Scientific Spirit in Politics," published in this REVIEW for February, 1917.
He made frequent visits to England and the continent of Europe, where he formed personal relations with leading students and men in public life. In 1913, he lectured at a number of French provincial universities on the Harvard Foundation.
