Cornell expanded significantly in the 20th century, with its student population growing to its current count of about 20,000 students. David J Skorton (born November 22, 1949 in Milwaukee Wisconsin) is an American Medical scholar and Academic administrator The faculty expanded as well; by the century's end, the university had more than 3,400 faculty members. Along with its population growth, Cornell increased its breadth of course offerings. Today, the university has wide-ranging programs and offers more than 4,000 courses.
In the 2000s, Cornell has been expanding its international programs. In 2001, the university founded the Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar, the first American medical school outside of the United States.

Organization
Cornell is a non-profit institution, receiving most of its funding through tuition, research grants, state appropriations, and alumni contributions. Goldwin Smith ( August 13, 1823 &ndash June 7, 1910) was a British - Canadian Historian and Journalist Andrew Dickson White (November 7 1832 &ndash November 4 1918 was a U Tuition means instruction or teaching. In American English, the term tuition is often used to refer to a fee charged for educational instruction Grants are funds dispersed by one party (Grant Makers often a Government Department Corporation Foundation or Trust to a recipient, often (but not always Three of its undergraduate schools/colleges and the graduate-level College of Veterinary Medicine are called "statutory colleges" or "contract colleges". The College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University was founded in 1894 In American Higher education, particular to the state of New York, a statutory college or contract college is a college or school that is a component These colleges receive significant partial, ongoing funding from the state of New York to support their teaching, research, and service missions. For 2007-08, these colleges will receive $167. 7 million in SUNY appropriations. [18] Residents of New York enrolled in the statutory colleges pay reduced tuition. Furthermore, the New York State Governor, the Speaker of the New York State Assembly, and the President Pro Tem of the New York State Senate all serve as ex-officio members of Cornell's Board of Trustees. The Governor of New York is the head of the Executive branch of New York 's government and the Commander-in-chief of the state's military The Speaker of the New York State Assembly is the highest official in the New York State Assembly, customarily elected from the ranks of the Majority party. Pro tempore or pro tem is a Latin phrase which best translates to "for the time being" in English The New York State Senate is one of two houses in the New York State Legislature and has members each elected to two-year terms C D E Trustee is a Legal term that refers to a holder of property on behalf of a beneficiary. The statutory colleges are an integral part of the State University of New York. [19] Despite some similarities, Cornell's contract colleges are not public or state schools — they are private institutions that Cornell operates under statutes, appropriations and contracts with New York State. A public university is a University that is predominantly funded by public means through a national or subnational government as opposed to private universities. Unlike Public universities, private universities generally do not receive direct operational funding from national or subnational governments and thus rely on private

A handful of inter-school academic departments offer courses in more than one college.
Seven schools provide undergraduate programs and an additional seven provide graduate and professional programs. Students pursuing graduate degrees in departments of these schools are enrolled in the Graduate School. The Cornell University Graduate School confers most Professional and Research Master's degrees and doctoral degrees in various fields of The School of Continuing Education and Summer Sessions offers programs for college and high school students, professionals, and other adults.

[24] While some buildings are neatly arranged into quadrangles, others are packed densely and haphazardly. In Architecture, a quadrangle is a space or courtyard usually square or rectangular in plan the sides of which are entirely or mainly occupied by parts of a large building These eccentricities arose from the university's numerous, ever-changing master plans for the campus. For example, in one of the earliest plans, Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of Central Park, outlined a "grand terrace" overlooking Cayuga Lake. Frederick Law Olmsted ( April 25, 1822 &ndash August 28, 1903) was an American landscape designer and father of American Central Park is a large public Urban park in New York City, with about twenty-five million visitors annually Cayuga Lake (pronounced either "kā-'yü-gə" or "kī-'yü-gə" is the longest of western New York 's glacial Finger Lakes, and is the second largest [25] Because the terrace plan was dropped, McGraw Hall appears to face the wrong direction, facing the Slope rather than the Arts Quad.

Press
The Cornell University Press, established in 1869 but inactive from 1884 to 1930, was the first university publishing enterprise in the United States. Publishing is the process of production and dissemination of Literature or Information &ndash the activity of making information available for public view [95] It was established in the College of the Mechanic Arts (as mechanical engineering was called in the 19th century) because engineers knew more than literature professors did about running steam-powered printing presses. Mechanical Engineering is an Engineering discipline that involves the application of principles of physics for analysis Design, Manufacturing A steam engine is a Heat engine that performs Mechanical work using Steam as its Working fluid. A printing press is a mechanical device for applying pressure to an inked surface resting upon a medium (such as paper or cloth thereby transferring an image From its inception, the press has offered work-study financial aid: students with previous training in the printing trades were paid for typesetting and running the presses that printed textbooks, pamphlets, a weekly student journal, and official university publications. Student financial aid refers to funding intended to help students pay education expenses including Tuition and fees Room and board, books and supplies etc Typesetting involves the presentation of textual material in graphic form on Paper or some other medium.
Today, the press is one of the country's largest university presses. [4] It produces approximately 150 nonfiction titles each year in various disciplines including anthropology, Asian studies, biological sciences, classics, history, industrial relations, literary criticism and theory, natural history, philosophy, politics and international relations, veterinary science, and women's studies. [95][96] The press's acquisitions, editorial, production, and marketing departments have been located in Sage House since 1993, and the financial department is on Cascadilla Street in downtown Ithaca. [95]
Financial Aid
At the time of its founding, Cornell University was considered revolutionary because its founder, Ezra Cornell, was committed to access for all students, regardless of economic circumstance. Together with Cornell's first president, Andrew Dickson White, he opened the institution's doors "to applicants for admission . . . at the lowest rates of expense consistent with its welfare and efficiency, and without distinction as to rank, class, previous occupation or locality. "[97] The University Charter provided for free instruction to one student chosen from each Assembly district in the state. [97] Within the first 10 years of operation, the university admitted women and underrepresented minority students and provided financial aid for many students, using a combination of grant, loan and work-study opportunities. The university awarded need-based grants as early as 1879, and its first endowed scholarship fund was created in 1892.
Starting in the 1950s Cornell coordinated with other Ivy League schools to provide a consistent set of financial aid. However, in 1989, a consent decree to end a Justice Department antitrust investigation ended such coordination. [98] Even after the decree, all Ivy League schools continue to award aid on financial need without offering any athletic scholarships.
In 2007-2008, Cornell has budgeted $116. 8 million of its own resources on undergraduate financial aid, 94 percent of which will be spent on grant aid. Sixty-four percent of all Cornell students receive some financial aid. [99]
On January 31, 2008, Cornell announced a new financial aid initiative to be phased in over the next two years. In the first year, 2008-09, Cornell will eliminate need-based loans for undergraduate students from families with incomes under $60,000, and cap them annually at $3,000 for students from families with incomes between $60,000 and $120,000. The following year, 2009-10, the program will take full effect by eliminating need-based loans for students from families with incomes up to $75,000, and capping annual loans at $3,000 for students from families with income between $75,000 and $120,000. The initiative will cost an additional $14 million per year when fully implemented. [100]
Student life
Activities
For the 2006–07 academic year, Cornell had 901 registered student organizations. These clubs and organizations run the gamut from kayaking to full-armor jousting, from varsity and club sports and a cappella groups to improvisational theatre, from political clubs and publications to chess and video game clubs. [101] They are subsidized financially by academic departments and/or the Student Assembly and the Graduate & Professional Student Assembly, two student-run organizations with a collective budget of $3. 0 million per year. [102][103] The assemblies also finance other student life programs including a concert commission and an on-campus movie theater. Student organizations also include a myriad of musical groups that play everything from classical, jazz, to ethnic styles in addition to the Big Red Marching Band, which performs regularly at football games and other campus events. The Cornell Big Red Marching Band is the only traditional Marching band (as opposed to a Scatter band) in the Ivy League. [104] Organized in 1868, the oldest student organization is the Cornell University Glee Club. The Cornell University Glee Club (CUGC is the oldest

Advocacy Advocacy is the pursuit of influencing outcomes –including public-policy and resource allocation decisions within political economic and social systems [106] However, the administration has expressed concerns over student misconduct in the system. In 2004–05, of 251 social events registered with the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs, 37 (15%) resulted in a complaint. In that same year, there were five reported instances of property destruction, five reports of bias, three hazing incidents, and various other allegations. Bias is a term used to describe a Tendency or Preference towards a particular perspective, Ideology or result especially when the tendency interferes Hazing is an often Ritualistic test and a task which may constitute Harassment, Abuse or Humiliation with requirements to perform random often [106] Student misconduct is reviewed by the Judicial Administrator, Cornell's justice system.

University housing is broadly divided into three sections: North Campus, West Campus, and Collegetown. North Campus is a residential section of Cornell University 's Ithaca New York campus West Campus is a residential section of Cornell University 's Ithaca New York campus located west of Libe Slope and between the Fall Creek gorge and the Cascadilla North Campus is a residential section of Cornell University 's Ithaca New York campus West Campus is a residential section of Cornell University 's Ithaca New York campus located west of Libe Slope and between the Fall Creek gorge and the Cascadilla Since a 1997 residential initiative, West Campus houses transfer and returning students, whereas North Campus is almost entirely populated by freshmen. [109] The only options for living on North Campus for upperclassmen are the program houses: Risley Residential College, Just About Music, the Ecology House, Holland International Living Center, the Multicultural Living Learning Unit, the Latino Living Center, Akwe:kon, and Ujamaa.

In an attempt to create a sense of community and an atmosphere of education outside the classroom and continue Andrew Dickson White's vision, the university has undertaken the $250 million residential college project on West Campus. Prudence Risley Residential College for the Creative and Performing Arts, commonly known as Risley Residential College, Risley Hall, or just Risley [110] The Class Halls will be demolished and rebuilt as five residential colleges named after notable deceased Cornell professors. A residential college is an organisational pattern for a division of a University that places academic activity in a Community setting of students and faculty usually The first, Alice Cook House, was opened to students in 2004, followed by Carl Becker House in 2005. West Campus is a residential section of Cornell University 's Ithaca New York campus located west of Libe Slope and between the Fall Creek gorge and the Cascadilla West Campus is a residential section of Cornell University 's Ithaca New York campus located west of Libe Slope and between the Fall Creek gorge and the Cascadilla The third house, Hans Bethe House, opened in January 2007. West Campus is a residential section of Cornell University 's Ithaca New York campus located west of Libe Slope and between the Fall Creek gorge and the Cascadilla The idea of building a house system can be attributed in part to the success of Risley Residential College, the oldest continually operating residential college at Cornell. Prudence Risley Residential College for the Creative and Performing Arts, commonly known as Risley Residential College, Risley Hall, or just Risley Like Risley, the new houses will have their own dining halls, student governments, in-house lectures, house trips, and crests. Heraldry in its most general sense encompasses all matters relating to the duties and responsibilities of officers of arms. The completion of the five-house residential college campus will occur in August 2008. [110]
Additionally, Cornell has several housing areas for graduate and professional students. Of these, Schuyler House and Hughes Hall are designed similarly to dormitories, while Maplewood Apartments, Hasbrouk Apartments, and Thurston Court Apartments are apartment-style, some even allowing for family living. Unlike many undergraduate dormitories, the graduate housing areas are largely located either on the outer border of campus, or off-campus on university-owned land.
Off campus, many homes in the East Hill neighborhoods adjacent to the university have been converted to apartments. Balch Hall, or more accurately Balch Halls, is the only all-female Dormitory at Cornell University. North Campus is a residential section of Cornell University 's Ithaca New York campus Several high-rise apartment complexes have been constructed in the Collegetown neighborhood. Nine percent of undergraduate students reside in fraternity and sorority houses, although freshmen are not permitted to live in them. Housing cooperatives or other independent living units exist, including Watermargin, Telluride House, Triphammer Cooperative, the Center for Jewish Living, and the Wait Cooperative. A housing cooperative is a legal entity—usually a Corporation —that owns Real estate, consisting of one or more residential buildings The Telluride Association is a Non-profit organization in the United States that provides young people with free educational programs emphasizing intellectual curiosity
In its 2007 rankings of college campus food, The Princeton Review ranked Cornell's dining services eighth overall. The Princeton Review (TPR is an American educational preparation company [94] The university has 31 on-campus dining locations, and a program called the Cross Country Gourmet Guest Restaurant Series periodically brings chefs, menus, and atmosphere from restaurants to Cornell's eight all-you-care-to-eat dining halls.

Generally, although Cornell's varsity athletic teams typically earn their "share" of Ivy League titles, they do not perform well in the ECAC conference or the NCAA overall, and fail to compete consistently for national championships in most sports. [113] Because of the Ivy League athletic agreement, the university is not permitted to offer athletic scholarships for athletic recruiting. An athletic scholarship is a form of Scholarship to attend a College or University awarded to an individual based predominantly on his or her ability to [114]

Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania are long-time rivals in football. The University of Pennsylvania (also known as Penn) is a private University located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. With more than 114 games played since their first meeting in 1893, this is the seventh most-played rivalry in college football. [119] Cornell's football series against both the University of Pennsylvania and Dartmouth College are tied for second longest uninterrupted college football match-ups in history, both dating back to 1919.

In addition to the school's varsity athletics, club sports teams have been organized as student organizations under the auspices of the Dean of Students. Cornell's intramural program includes 30 sports. Beside such familiar sports such as flag football, squash, or water polo, such unusual offerings as "inner tube water polo" and formerly "broomstick polo" have been offered, as well as a sports trivia competition. Flag football is a version of American football that is popular in North America.

In 2007 after a 4 year slump, Cornell Sport Taekwondo defeated MIT Sport Taekwondo to take the INCTL Cup.
Greek life
Cornell's Greek scene, founded with Zeta Psi in 1868, is the second largest in the nation, with roughly 1/3 of the undergraduate population involved in Greek letter organizations. Cornell University currently hosts 42 Fraternities, 13 Sororities, and 16 multi-cultural Greek-letter associations Cornell currently has 39 fraternities registered with the Interfraternity Council (IFC), 12 sororities with the Panhellenic Council (Panhel), and 16 fraternities and sororities in the Multicultural Greek Letter Council (MGLC). Fraternities and sororities (from the Latin words la frater and la soror, meaning "brother" and "sister" respectively are fraternal Fraternities and sororities (from the Latin words la frater and la soror, meaning "brother" and "sister" respectively are fraternal All IFC and Panhel fraternities and sororities have houses, located just off of North or West campus, as there is no specific district for such buildings. However, none of the MGLC organizations have houses. While many of the fraternities at Cornell are known for throwing parties during most weekends and being the axis of campus social life, the fraternities and the sororities alike also partake in various philanthropic and community service projects, dealing with national organizations and local causes. In addition, all Greek letter organizations partake in Greek Week, held sometime during the beginning of fall semester, as a way to foster friendly competition between the chapters and to spark freshmen interest in Greek life and such organizations.
Underclassmen who choose to join such organizations usually do so during the rush periods. While rush varies for organizations in the MGLC, IFC and Panhel recruit potential members during the fall and spring; the former being the smaller, informal rush periods focused on recruiting upperclassmen, and the latter aimed primarily at freshmen and sophomores (this being the major rush period), held during the week before spring semester classes begin. Freshmen are not permitted to participate in Fall rush; Spring rush is a formal rush period, particularly for the Panhellenic sororities.
Despite its presence and power around campus, the Cornell Greek community has not been without controversy. In recent years, the IFC has seen the departure of Theta Chi and Sigma Phi Epsilon, although the latter has since returned to the campus. Theta Chi Fraternity (ΘΧ is an international college fraternity. ΣΦΕ ( Sigma Phi Epsilon) commonly Nicknamed SigEp or SPE, is a social fraternity for male College students in the A Mexican-stereotype themed frat party in Spring 2007 caused outrage from the local Latino community. In July 2007, a statue from Sibley Hall was found in a fraternity basement after reported missing days earlier. However, the issue of hazing has been a constant controversy for the Greek community. Hazing is an often Ritualistic test and a task which may constitute Harassment, Abuse or Humiliation with requirements to perform random often A feature article in the Cornell Daily Sun in 2007 highlighted one student's experience as he was abused and humiliated by the brothers of his fraternity in 2001. Nevertheless, many Greek houses say that they abstain from such practices and choose not to haze their pledges. The Panhellenic sororities have strict anti-hazing requirements, and as all of the Panhellenic sororities have their own, independent off-campus houses, few houses are willing to risk deactivation or lesser penalties for hazing. None of the MGLC fraternities or sororities own their own houses, and most of the IFC fraternities have their own houses.
Cornelliana
Cornelliana is a term for Cornell's traditions, legends, and lore. Cornelliana is a broad term that can refer to anything related to Cornell University 's unique traditions legends and lore Dragon Day is an annual event at Cornell University. It occurs in on the Friday before the university's Spring Break in mid-March Cornellian traditions include Slope Day, a celebration held on the last day of classes, and Dragon Day, which includes the burning of a dragon built by architecture students. Slope Day is an annual day of celebration held at Cornell University during the last day of regular undergraduate classes Dragon Day is an annual event at Cornell University. It occurs in on the Friday before the university's Spring Break in mid-March Dragon Day is one of the school's oldest traditions and has been celebrated annually since 1901, typically on or near St. Patrick's Day. The dragon is built secretly by the architecture students, and taunting messages are left for the engineering students for the week before Dragon Day. On Dragon Day, the dragon is paraded across the Arts Quad and then set afire. [123] According to legend, if a virgin crosses the Arts Quad at midnight, the statues of Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White will walk off their pedestals, meet in the center of the Quad, and shake hands, congratulating themselves on the chastity of the University. The College of Arts and Sciences (abbreviated to A&S or CAS) is a division of Cornell University. Ezra Cornell ( January 11, 1807 &ndash December 9, 1874) was an American businessman and with Andrew Dickson White, was Andrew Dickson White (November 7 1832 &ndash November 4 1918 was a U There is also another myth that if a couple crosses the suspension bridge on North Campus, and the young woman doesn't accept a kiss from her partner, the bridge will fall. If the kiss is accepted, the couple is assured a long future together.
The university is also host to various student pranks. For example, on at least three different occasions the university has awoken to find something odd atop the 173-foot (52. 7 m) tall McGraw clock tower — once a 60-pound (27 kg) pumpkin, once a banner reading "Who is John Galt?", and another time a disco ball. Because there is no access to the spire atop the tower, how the items were put in place remains a mystery. [124] The colors of the lights on McGraw tower change to orange for Halloween and green for St. Patrick's Day.
The school colors are carnelian (a shade of red) and white, a play on "Cornellian" and Andrew Dickson White. Carnelian, sometimes spelled cornelian, is a red or reddish-brown variant of Chalcedony. A bear is commonly used as the unofficial mascot, which dates back to the introduction of the mascot "Touchdown" in 1915, a live bear who was brought onto the field during football games. [5] The university's alma mater is "Far Above Cayuga's Waters" and its fight song is "Give My Regards to Davy". Alma mater is Latin for "nourishing mother" It was used in Ancient Rome as a title for the mother Goddess, and in Medieval "Far Above Cayuga's Waters" is Cornell University 's Alma mater. A fight song is primarily an American and Canadian sports term referring to a Song associated with a team " Give My Regards to Davy " is Cornell University's primary Fight song. People associated with the university are called "Cornellians". Cornellians are persons affiliated with Cornell University, commonly including alumni current and former faculty members students and others "Cornellian" is also used as an adjective and as the name of the university's yearbook. A yearbook, also known as an annual is a book to record highlight and commemorate the past year of a School or a book published annually

Research
For the 2004–05 fiscal year, the university spent $561. 3 million on research. [11] The primary recipients of this funding were the colleges of Medicine ($164. 2 million), Agriculture and Life Sciences ($114. 5 million), Arts and Sciences ($80. 3 million), and Engineering ($64. 8 million). [11] The money comes largely from federal sources, with federal investment of $381. 0 million.

Since 1962, Cornell has been involved in unmanned missions to Mars. [126] In the 21st century, Cornell had a hand in the Mars Exploration Rover Mission. NASA 's Mars Exploration Rover ( MER) Mission is an ongoing robotic mission of exploring Mars, that began in 2003 with the sending of Cornell's Steve Squyres, Principal Investigator for the Athena Science Payload, led the selection of the landing zones and requested data collection features for the Spirit and Opportunity rovers. Steven W Squyres (born 1957) is the Goldwin Smith Professor of Astronomy at Cornell University in MER-A ( Mars Exploration Rover - A) known as Spirit, is the first of the two rovers of NASA 's Mars Exploration Rover MER-B ( Mars Exploration Rover - B) known as Opportunity, is the second of the two rovers of NASA 's Mars Exploration [127] Jet Propulsion Laboratory engineers took those requests and designed the rovers to meet them. The rovers, both of which have operated long past their original life expectancies, are responsible for the discoveries that were awarded 2004 Breakthrough of the Year honors by Science. Science is the Academic journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and is considered one of the world's most prestigious Scientific [128] Control of the Mars rovers has shifted between NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory at Caltech and Cornell's Space Sciences Building. The California Institute of Technology (commonly referred to as Caltech) is a private, Coeducational research university located in Pasadena [129]
The Automotive Crash Injury Research project was begun in 1952 by John O. Moore at the Cornell Aeronautical Research Laboratories, which spun off in 1972 as Calspan Corporation. [130] It pioneered the use of crash testing, originally using corpses rather than dummies. A crash test is a form of Destructive testing usually performed in order to ensure safe design standards in Crashworthiness and For the band see Crash Test Dummies. For the series of toys see The Incredible Crash Dummies. The project discovered that improved door locks, energy-absorbing steering wheels, padded dashboards, and seat belts could prevent an extraordinary percentage of injuries. [130] The project led Liberty Mutual to fund the building of a demonstration Cornell Safety Car in 1956, which received national publicity and influenced carmakers. Liberty Mutual Group (LMG Liberty Liberty Mutual is an American Insurance company. The Automotive Crash Injury Research project was begun in 1952 by John O [130] Carmakers soon started their own crash-test laboratories and gradually adopted many of the Cornell innovations. Other ideas, such as rear-facing passenger seats, never found favor with carmakers or the public.
In 1984, the National Science Foundation began work on establishing five new supercomputer centers, including the Cornell Theory Center, to provide high-speed computing resources for research within the United States. The National Science Foundation (NSF is a United States Government agency that supports fundamental Research and Education in all the non-medical A supercomputer is a Computer that is at the frontline of processing capacity particularly speed of calculation (at the time of its introduction In 1985, a team from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications began the development of NSFNet, a TCP/IP-based computer network that could connect to the ARPANET, at the Cornell Theory Center and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Cornell scientists have researched the fundamental particles of nature for more than 70 years. Cornell physicists, such as Hans Bethe, contributed not only to the foundations of nuclear physics but also participated in the Manhattan Project. Hans Albrecht Bethe (/hans ˈalbʀɛçt ˈbeːtə/ ( July 2 1906 &ndash March 6, 2005) was a German - American Physicist The World War II Manhattan Project developed the first Nuclear weapon (atomic bomb In the 1930s, Cornell built the second cyclotron in the United States. A cyclotron is a type of Particle accelerator. Cyclotrons accelerate Charged particles using a high- Frequency, alternating Voltage (potential In the 1950s, Cornell physicists became the first to study synchrotron radiation. This article concerns the physical phenomenon of synchrotron radiation During the 1990s, the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, located beneath Alumni Field, was the world's highest-luminosity electron-positron collider. The Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education (CLASSE is a Particle accelerator facility located in Wilson Laboratory on the Cornell University [133][134]
Cornell's accelerator and high-energy physics groups are involved in the design of the proposed International Linear Collider and plan to participate in its construction and operation. The International Linear Collider ( ILC) is a proposed Linear particle accelerator. The International Linear Collider, to be completed in the late 2010s, will complement the Large Hadron Collider and shed light on questions such as the identity of dark matter and the existence of extra dimensions. In Physics and cosmology, dark matter is hypothetical Matter that does not interact with the electromagnetic force but whose presence can be inferred from
