Those who made the ultimate sacrifice are remembered throughout the Hill\u2014in stone, bronze, glass, and even greenery<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Joe Wilensky<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University\u2019s War Memorial, commemorating Cornellians who perished in World War I\u2014then known as the Great War\u2014was dedicated on May 23, 1931. The event, which made national news, included a live, coast-to-coast radio address by President Herbert Hoover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn this memorial, as in all our other memorials, we do not seek to glorify war or to perpetuate hatreds,\u201d Hoover said, according to a front-page story in the New York Times<\/em>. \u201cWe are commemorating not war, but the courage and the devotion and the sacrifice of those who gave their lives for their country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ceremony wasn\u2019t held on Memorial Day (then called Decoration Day and observed on May 30) but rather on the 14th anniversary of when the first WWI unit carried the American flag to the front. That unit, part of the American Ambulance Field Service, had strong ties to the Hill: comprising many Cornellians, it was organized and commanded by Capt. Edward Tinkham 1916.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a vanguard of a mighty army of American youth that flowed across the Atlantic in the months that followed,\u201d Hoover said. \u201cIn this army were 9,000 other Cornellians who followed Tinkham\u2019s unit in the nation\u2019s service. Two hundred and sixty-four of them did not return.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearly a century later, the War Memorial\u2014located between Lyon and McFaddin halls\u2014is both a campus landmark and a gateway to West Campus. And it\u2019s just one of numerous such memorials throughout campus, honoring Cornellians who died in other U.S. wars and battles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These range from the memorials in Anabel Taylor Hall that mark the hundreds of casualties suffered in World War II (and subsequent conflicts) to other plaques and cenotaphs, some honoring specific groups of Cornellians\u2014and others an individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHere, in the scenes which they loved, you have built a loving monument to their memory,\u201d Hoover said at the 1931 dedication. \u201cWe cannot add to their glory, but we and our descendants will be the better for remembering them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on for a look at some of <\/em>the tributes<\/em><\/a>\u2014in stone, plaques, and more\u2014to Cornellians who died in battle. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anabel Taylor Hall<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

The memorial in the building\u2019s rotunda was first dedicated in 1953, noting the more than 500 Cornellian casualties of World War II. Forty years later, 47 other names were added: 27 who died in Vietnam, 16 in Korea, and four in other military actions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was rededicated in 2003, with two Vietnam casualties added; in 2019, the two Cornellians<\/a> killed in Iraq, Maj. Richard Gannon II \u201995 and Capt. George Wood \u201993, were similarly recognized. Additionally, a gym for ROTC cadets in Barton Hall was recently named for Gannon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sibley Dome<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The University\u2019s earliest war memorial is a bronze bas relief tablet honoring the first Cornellian to die in battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Architecture student Clifton Beckwith Brown 1900 served with Col. Theodore Roosevelt\u2019s Rough Riders, perishing in Cuba during the Spanish American War on July 1, 1898.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roosevelt himself traveled to the Hill in 1899 to install one memorial to Brown, planting two Norway spruces in front of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity; one still stands today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commissioned by the Class of 1900, the 150-pound tablet was created by Bela Lyon Pratt, a prominent sculptor of the era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Originally installed in Uris Library, it went into storage there at some point and was lost for more than a century\u2014until a DKE alum helped spearhead a search. In 2013, it took its current place on an outer wall of the Hartell Gallery in Sibley Dome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A trail, plaque, and bench within the gardens\u2014just off Forest Home Drive, near the Johnston Trail\u2014comprise a memorial to floriculture students and alumni, two of whom died in World War I and 14 in World War II. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plaque dedicates the site \u201cand the surrounding woodland\u201d to their memory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Sage Chapel<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

While there are numerous stained-glass windows in the chapel dedicated to Cornellians, only two specifically honor those who died in wartime. Installed in 1956, they memorialize WWI casualties Chandler Montgomery 1912 and Wilhelmus Mynderse Rice 1912. <\/p>\n<\/div>

They were gifted by a Sigma Phi fraternity brother, H. Hamilton Allport 1912.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baldwin Memorial Stairway<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The stairway, which connects the Delta Phi fraternity house (Llenroc) to University Avenue, was given by Arthur Baldwin 1892 in memory of his son, Cpl. Morgan Smiley Baldwin 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A stone plaque at the top pays tribute to the younger Baldwin, who died in 1918 of wounds sustained in the Battle of the Hindenburg Line, the last major offensive of World War I. It was dedicated on Armistice Day, 1925.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2006, masons replacing stonework on the overlook discovered a sealed copper box that had been installed at the dedication. Essentially a time capsule, it included some of Baldwin\u2019s Cornell and Delta Phi memorabilia. Its contents were examined, recorded, and re-interred in a ceremony<\/a> that fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A two-time All-American quarterback, Charles Barrett 1916 captained the undefeated 1915 Big Red national championship football team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He died in 1924, succumbing to complications from injuries sustained years earlier, in a WWI explosion on the U.S.S. Brooklyn<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tablet just inside Schoellkopf Hall is dedicated to his memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depicting him in his football helmet, it stands \u201cas a tribute to his splendid loyalty and as an homage to a most worthy gridiron adversary.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lt. Robert Irving Ashman Jr., DVM \u201940, is the only CVM alumnus known to have died in the line of duty during World War II. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1945, a scholarship fund was established in his memory. <\/p>\n<\/div>

Half a century later, a bench bearing his name was added to the Medical Center\u2019s lobby, alongside a display featuring his photo, story, and medals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cloister includes 264 names engraved on 16 panels\u2014framed not only by the masonry of the colonnade itself, but by the landscape visible through its arches. The adjacent tower houses a memorial shrine.<\/p>\n\n\n

In fact, another Cornellian (Hans Wagner 1912) died in WWI, bringing the number to 265.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But since he fought for Germany, his name was not included. When the memorial was dedicated, some students (as well as a Daily Sun<\/em> editorial) pushed for its addition as a \u201cnoble gesture,\u201d but then-President Livingston Farrand declined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
