'''J.Jesse Glenn Gray''' (known as ''J. Glenn Gray''; 1913–1977) was aan American philosopher, writer, and professor of philosophy at Colorado College. Gray published numerous books and essays. His first major publication, ''[[The Warriors: Reflections on Men in Battle]]'', is a philosophical memoir of his years as ana counter-intelligence officer near the battle lines in Italy during World War II inspired by Gray’s opposition to war. Its reprint in 1967 and subsequent editions included an introduction by [[Hannah Arendt]].
 
Gray was born May 27, 1913, near [[Mifflintown, Pennsylvania]]. He graduated from [[Juniata College]] and obtained an M.A. from the [[University of Pittsburgh]] in 1938 and a Ph.D. from [[Columbia University]] in 1941. Immediately after this, Gray spent four years in the United States Army, becoming a second lieutenant. When Gray returned to the United States he began his career as a professor. In 1947 Gray married Ursula Werner, with whom he had two daughters.
 
As a long-time professor at [[Colorado College]], Gray obtained fellowships from the [[Ford Foundation]], [[John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation]], and the [[National Council on the Arts and Humanities]]. He also was a scholar-in-residence for the [[Aspen CenterInstitute for Humanistic Studies]] from 1967 to 1968. As a general editor for [[Harper & Row]], Gray supervised work for the publisher on translations of the German philosopher [[Martin Heidegger]], with whom he formed a personal association, and was among his earliest champions in the United States. Colleagues at Colorado College and elsewhere compiled a collection of essays, entitled ''Something of Great Constancy,'' in honor of Gray. Prior to its publication, Gray died October 3029, 1977, in [[Colorado Springs, Colorado]].
