Book excerpt: Excerpt from Centennial Anniversary of the Birth of Ezra Cornell: Addresses at the Celebration Held at Cornell University, April 26, 1907 As his ideas developed under constant conference with Mr. White, the public became more and more excited, and the introduction of the bill for a charter was the signal for war. The small sectarian colleges were up in arms and sent delegates to Albany; they also stirred up the press throughout the State. The cries of Monopoly, A Grab, A Swindle, were all played upon, and it was charged that Cornell was only seeking to erect a monu ment to himself by planning to rob the State. He had once to sit and hear a lawyer, employed to address the Committee against the bill, intimate that he was a swindler. He whispered to Mr. White, If I could think of any other way in which half a million dollars would do as much good to the State I should give the legislators no more trouble. Here we have a revelation of the man and his aims. Because it was the good of his State that he had solely in view, he could sit thus patiently under abuse and hear his aims 'misrepresented. Innocence always has a quiet breast, and the vile charges passed by him as idle wind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ezra Cornell: An Address to the Students of Cornell University on Ezra Cornell Centennial Day, April Twenty-Sixth, 1907 The subject of our address sprang from a sturdy race of Puritans who had been strict Quakers for generations. The union of his parents was blest by eleven children, all of whom reached adult age, and were noted for temperance, industry and frugality, - excellent citizens. The father lived to the advanced age of ninety-one. The mother was a model of all that a noble woman should be, and the children had superb constitutions. Ezra, our hero, the oldest, was born January 11th, 1807, at Westchester Landing, New York. He soon began to give notice to all concerned that he was no ordinary child. Activity of both body and mind and a consuming thirst for knowledge distinguisht him. The poor village school, supplemented by such instruction as his father could give, was his only University. When only sixteen, Ezra and his brother contracted for the clearing and planting of four acres of land conditioned upon being permitted to attend school during the winter term. His chief passion was for mechanics, and every opportunity to pursue their study was eagerly embraced. Carpentry was learned while working upon a new factory his father was building, and that trade he followed for a time. His graduating thesis was the planning and erection of a new two-story frame dwelling for the family, with no aid but that of his younger brother and ordinary workmen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This succinct and engaging history of the founding of Cornell University traces the institution's origins within the educational climate of mid-nineteenth-century America. Originally delivered as six lectures celebrating the seventy-fifth anniversary of the opening the university, this book was first published by Cornell University Press in 1943.Beginning with a survey of collegiate education prior to the Civil War, Carl L. Becker details the history of the Morrill Land Grant College Act that made possible the establishment of Cornell (among other universities); deftly portrays the lives of the Ezra Cornell, who supplied the essential idea and funding for the university, and Andrew D. White, who, as legislator, lobbyist, and first university president, made Cornell's dream a reality; and desrcibes the events surrounding the incorporation and opening of the university in 1868.Also included in this book are fifteen documents pertaining to its founding, as well as Becker's 1940 lecture, "The Cornell Tradition: Freedom and Responsibility."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cornell University is fortunate to have as its historian a man of Morris Bishop's talents and devotion. As an accurate record and a work of art possessing form and personality, his book at once conveys the unique character of the early university—reflected in its vigorous founder, its first scholarly president, a brilliant and eccentric faculty, the hardy student body, and, sometimes unfortunately, its early architecture—and establishes Cornell's wider significance as a case history in the development of higher education. Cornell began in rebellion against the obscurantism of college education a century ago. Its record, claims the author, makes a social and cultural history of modern America. This story will undoubtedly entrance Cornellians; it will also charm a wider public. Dr. Allan Nevins, historian, wrote: "I anticipated that this book would meet the sternest tests of scholarship, insight, and literary finish. I find that it not only does this, but that it has other high merits. It shows grasp of ideas and forces. It is graphic in its presentation of character and idiosyncrasy. It lights up its story by a delightful play of humor, felicitously expressed. Its emphasis on fundamentals, without pomposity or platitude, is refreshing. Perhaps most important of all, it achieves one goal that in the history of a living university is both extremely difficult and extremely valuable: it recreates the changing atmosphere of time and place. It is written, very plainly, by a man who has known and loved Cornell and Ithaca for a long time, who has steeped himself in the traditions and spirit of the institution, and who possesses the enthusiasm and skill to convey his understanding of these intangibles to the reader." The distinct personalities of Ezra Cornell and first president Andrew Dickson White dominate the early chapters. For a vignette of the founder, see Bishop's description of "his" first buildings (Cascadilla, Morrill, McGraw, White, Sibley): "At best," he writes, "they embody the character of Ezra Cornell, grim, gray, sturdy, and economical." To the English historian, James Anthony Froude, Mr. Cornell was "the most surprising and venerable object I have seen in America." The first faculty, chosen by President White, reflected his character: "his idealism, his faith in social emancipation by education, his dislike of dogmatism, confinement, and inherited orthodoxy"; while the "romantic upstate gothic" architecture of such buildings as the President's house (now Andrew D. White Center for the Humanities), Sage Chapel, and Franklin Hall may be said to "portray the taste and Soul of Andrew Dickson White." Other memorable characters are Louis Fuertes, the beloved naturalist; his student, Hugh Troy, who once borrowed Fuertes' rhinoceros-foot wastebasket for illicit if hilarious purposes; the more noteworthy and the more eccentric among the faculty of succeeding presidential eras; and of course Napoleon, the campus dog, whose talent for hailing streetcars brought him home safely—and alone—from the Penn game. The humor in A History of Cornell is at times kindly, at times caustic, and always illuminating.
