Favorite Cornell Founder: Ezra Cornell or A.D. White?

October 12, 2007 - 12:00am

Almost every Cornellian can confess to getting up close and personal with Andrew Dickson White. Ask any of the alumni descending on campus this weekend for Homecoming if they have at one point sat on stern-faced Uncle Andy’s lap, and I’m sure they will proudly share a story, either as a lost freshman frolicking on the Arts Quad or as a cap-and-gown wearing senior.

The lovin’ A.D. White, founder and first President of Cornell University, receives from generations of Cornellians shouldn’t be surprising. Let’s face it: Andrew Dickson White is the younger, hipper and more intellectual of our two founders. And he has a sweet house.
