Johnson was founder of the New School in New York City, where he provided sanctuary for Jacques Martain from Nazi persecution, just as he did for so many of the other great scholars and intellectuals throughout the 1930s and 40s. He created a special division for them within The New School, unofficially called the 'University in Exile,' where Maritain continued to write and taught classes.
