Cornell
embodies a unique history -- bold and innovative, open and
engaged, a community of universal aspiration and boundless
contribution. The fearlessness of our founders has spawned
a tradition of innovation and contribution to the well-being
of humanity. The boldness of our founders has spawned a legacy
of devotion in the hearts of those who studied here.
