Songs of Cornell<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Various incarnations of the Cornell songbook have been compiled and sold over the decades, offering lyrics and sheet music to familiar Big Red tunes such as the \u201cAlma Mater,\u201d \u201cGive My Regards to Davy,\u201d \u201cFight for Cornell,\u201d and the \u201cEvening Song.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Touchdown<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve ever snapped a selfie with the bear cub statue near Schoellkopf, you\u2019re aware that the Big Red\u2019s original ursine mascot didn\u2019t involve a costume\u2014or even a human. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this paperback<\/a> subtitled The Story of the Cornell Bear<\/em>, John Foote \u201974 unspools the tale of the quartet of cubs\u2014Touchdowns I through IV\u2014who served as the football team\u2019s mascot in various seasons from 1915 through the 1930s, and their many antics (like climbing the goalposts at halftime). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 100-page volume also revisits the early 20th-century heyday of Big Red football\u2014when it was not only an athletic powerhouse but a center of student social life.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Big Red Recipes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A History of Cornell<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Originally published in 1962, this official history<\/a> was written by Morris Bishop 1913, PhD 1926, a professor of Romance literature and the University historian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It traces Cornell from its founding through its first 75 years of existence\u2014detailing the unlikely partnership between Ezra Cornell and A.D. White; the assembly of the early faculty and the construction of buildings; the toll of World War I; and much more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also highlights a host of notable characters, from naturalist and lecturer Louis Agassiz Fuertes 1897 to notorious student prankster Hugh Troy 1926\u2014and even beloved campus dog Napoleon, a familiar passenger on Ithaca streetcars.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cornell: A History, 1940\u20132015<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Famed faculty members Glenn Altschuler, PhD \u201976, and Isaac Kramnick teamed up for this quasi-sequel to Bishop\u2019s oeuvre, which traces the University\u2019s evolution from the post-World War II era to the then-present day (2015, Cornell\u2019s sesquicentennial year). As they write in their preface: \u201cThe history of Cornell since World War II, we believe, is in large part a set of variations on the narrative of \u2018freedom,\u2019 the removal of restriction and regulation, and its partner, \u2018responsibility,\u2019 the obligation to others and to one\u2019s self to do what is right and useful, with a principled commitment to the Cornell community\u2014and to the world outside the Eddy Street gate.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The book<\/a> chronicles not only the University\u2019s continued growth but the impact on the institution of the Cold War, the civil rights and women\u2019s rights movements, the war in Vietnam, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Billed (on the cover) as \u201cthe required primer for every future Cornellian age 1 to freshman,\u201d this board book<\/a> for infants and toddlers features sturdy kid-resistant pages, simple text, and many images celebrating the University and its campus and traditions\u2014from the Chimes and Dragon Day to the Ezra statue and beyond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one five-star review on Amazon puts it: \u201cA nice idea for a shower or new baby gift for a fellow alumnus, and a great way to start brainwashing your own child from the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The 100 Most Notable Cornellians<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cornell: Glorious to View<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The University\u2019s history is explored in words and pictures in this hardcover volume<\/a> by Carol Kammen, a longtime local historian and retired University lecturer. It features documents and images from Cornell\u2019s Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as a foreword by eminent historian and professor Walter LaFeber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCornell began as a university in a country of colleges,\u201d Kammen writes in the first chapter, going on to observe that \u201cCornell was at the beginning complex, diverse, and somewhat contrary\u2014words that still fit the institution we know today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Published in 2003\u2014as Cornell had just entered a new century\u2014it contemplates the institution\u2019s 19th-century roots in the Land Grant Act and Ezra\u2019s determination to use his fortune to benefit society, and ponders such 20th-century issues as racial tensions and the end of in loco parentis<\/em> rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
