INTRODUCTION ON CORNELL UNIVERSITY

Cornell University has been an American private Ivy League and public federal land-grant doctoral university based in Ithaca, New York. Established in the year 1865 by Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White, the university was predetermined to teach and make contributions in every sector of knowledge — from the classics to the sciences, and also from the conjectural to the applied. These ideals, which are unconventional for the moment, are acquired in Cornell's motto, a popular 1865 Ezra Cornell quote "I would find an institution where any individual can find instruction in any study."
