==Later Political Service==

Fittingly, Johnson became one of Connecticut's first Senators in 1789, taking up service in the chamber he had done so much to help create.  He served in this position until 1791.  During this time, he also served as the first president of [[Columbia College]], a position to which he had ascended in 1787. As president, he worked to improve the school's prestige and academic standing while retaining its strongly religious character.  When the federal government moved from New York to Philadelphia, Johnson chose private service over public office, remaining in his capacity as president of Columbia until 1800. <ref>http://www.history.army.mil/books/RevWar/ss/johnson.htm</ref>
