Steeped in Big Red lore since childhood, they ponder their favorite artifacts, what Ezra would think of today\u2019s University, and more<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Beth Saulnier<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Earle brothers like to put it, Evan \u201cdoes the stuff\u201d and Corey \u201cdoes the story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evan Earle \u201902, MS \u201914, is the University Archivist<\/a>\u2014responsible for collecting and preserving materials pertaining to Cornell\u2019s history, and making them accessible to researchers and the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His younger brother, Corey Earle \u201907, is the University\u2019s longtime (if unofficial) historian: as a visiting lecturer in American studies<\/a>, he teaches AMST 2001: The First American University\u2014affectionately known as \u201cStorytime with Corey\u201d\u2014a wildly popular one-credit course on Cornell lore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Corey also frequently speaks to alumni groups and serves as a resource to innumerable administrators and departments\u2014in addition to his full-time job as a principal gifts associate in Alumni Affairs and Development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members of a large, multigenerational Cornellian clan, Evan and Corey grew up in the Ithaca area as faculty kids; their dad, Brian Earle \u201967, BS \u201968, MPS \u201971, taught communication in CALS for nearly four decades before retiring in 2008<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Their great-uncle, Paul Hoff, MS \u201940, was the first to attend, followed by their grandfather, CALS professor Wendell Earle, PhD \u201950, and all five of his children.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

From early childhood, the Earle brothers were surrounded by history: their family home, a former parsonage in West Dryden, dates from 1832.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This summer, the brothers are teaming up to teach their first joint course<\/a>, titled \u201cCornell, Collections & Conflict.\u201d Offered through Cornell\u2019s Adult University and based in Kroch Library<\/a>, the weeklong class will examine the institution\u2019s history through the lens of its archival holdings, with a focus on notable eras from the Civil War to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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

In early May, Cornellians<\/em> got Evan and Corey together for a chat in Kroch\u2014the subterranean space that\u2019s home to the University Archives\u2014to reflect on their roles as \u201cbrothers in Big Red history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are your earliest Cornell memories?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Corey:<\/strong> I remember going to my dad’s office in the old Roberts Hall before it was torn down, playing on a chalkboard as he was getting ready to move out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evan: <\/strong>He would bring us to his classes\u2014it wasn’t frequent, but enough that it stands out as a memory, seeing him lecture and interact with students. But my strongest affiliation with campus in my youth was hockey games. My parents brought me as an infant and I had season tickets from my grandparents when I was 10. I thought all Cornell students were hockey fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Photo provided)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Corey: <\/strong>Hockey players were my babysitters, because several would live with our grandparents each year, before the NCAA cut down on that practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evan: <\/strong>We had all these \u201colder brothers\u201d who were players. I\u2019d bring them to school for show-and-tell; they\u2019d bring all their equipment, sign autographs, and talk about being on the team. One way that I built ties to Cornell was through these hockey players being so loving with us as little kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had all these ‘older brothers’ who were hockey players. I\u2019d bring them to school for show-and-tell.<\/p>Evan Earle<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a favorite piece of Cornelliana, either something in the Archives or that you own?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Corey: <\/strong>I have the Andy Bernard<\/a> diploma that hung on the wall in \u201cThe Office.\u201d They auctioned off the props after the show ended, and Evan purchased it for me as a birthday present\u2014and when Ed Helms gave the Convocation address<\/a>, I had him sign it. When I give the lecture in my class on \u201cCornell and pop culture,\u201d I bring it in and students pose with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Evan: <\/strong>Having the charter that established the University in the Archives is amazing. We also have the seminal letters of Ezra Cornell\u2014the one where \u201cany person, any study\u201d is first used; and the one about an African-American student, saying \u201csend him\u201d; and the one to his granddaughter about wanting women to be educated here. I also like that we have the very first diploma that the University ever gave\u2014from the first class, and the first person alphabetically.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Corey: <\/strong>I wonder if any other universities have their first diploma? I imagine that’s rare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evan: <\/strong>Yes, it’s very special. But actually, the thing I usually say is my favorite item is the socks that Ezra Cornell wore on his wedding day. His mother saved them, and they went up on the Space Shuttle Columbia<\/em><\/a> [carried by astronaut G. David Low \u201980].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you admire most about your alma mater?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Corey

\n

Evan: <\/strong>The breadth\u2014of the fields of study, the faculty, the students. Other than all being here and connected to the University, we\u2019re not homogenous. This is a place where you can have a conversation with someone who has a completely different background from you, and do so comfortably. And to some degree, I think that extends to the Ithaca community as a whole.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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

\"Corey

\n

Corey: <\/strong>Another element is the opportunities that students have for personal growth\u2014for learning in different fields, for exposure to different perspectives and backgrounds. We also have a history that we can be proud of: Cornell is set apart in the fact that it was founded on principles of access and inclusion.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you could time travel to the 1800s and ask Ezra one question, what would it be?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Evan:<\/strong> I\u2019d pick his brain further, to hear in his own words: what did \u201cany person, any study\u201d mean to him? We have his writings about it, and I think we can say that he truly believed in that message. But to hear him explain what he meant by that vision\u2014I\u2019d love to learn that from him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corey: <\/strong>In the context of higher education today, it’d be interesting to see how the interpretation of \u201cany person\u201d has evolved over the years; how similar is it today to what he meant? I don’t think many people realize how progressive this farmer in the 1860s was. He was thinking about things that people weren’t having conversations about until decades later\u2014the whole idea of access and inclusion in higher education. Back then it was mainly for wealthy, white, Protestant men. Ezra Cornell was really ahead of his time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a similar note: if you could have coffee with any Cornellian from history, whom would you choose?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Corey:<\/strong> [Founding president] Andrew Dickson White was around for so long\u2014he saw a third of Cornell’s history\u2014so he would have a great perspective. But I don’t think he was a lot of fun to hang out with; he was a very serious guy. On the other hand, he was an ambassador and entertained people from all over, so he was probably pretty good at sitting down for coffee or tea and telling stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evan:<\/strong> He was here from the beginning. Hearing what he thought of the University toward the end of his life, in the middle of World War I\u2014Was it going the right direction? What would he like to see it accomplish in the future?\u2014would be fascinating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a history that we can be proud of: Cornell is set apart in the fact that it was founded on principles of access and inclusion.<\/p>Corey Earle<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Evan, as the University Archivist, what do you think of Corey\u2019s class on Cornell history?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Evan: <\/strong>Well, to have an opinion, I needed to see it firsthand\u2014so when I was a grad student, I took it for credit. And I really enjoyed it. But what also makes me happy about his course is the number of people he’s impacting\u2014not only getting them to understand important aspects of Cornell history that make us such a unique institution, but building community and the togetherness of the shared experience of what it means to be a Cornell student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, how do you think Ezra would feel about the institution he founded, if he could see it today?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Corey: <\/strong>He was into the cutting edge of things; the telegraph, this great new invention\u2014he wanted to explore it and invest in it. He believed in technology improving our lives and the future. So I think he’d be excited to see how that is continuing to play out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Evan: <\/strong>I think he\u2019d be pleased at how much innovation is taking place here\u2014not necessarily focused on engineering or technology, but being at the forefront of your field, regardless of subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corey: <\/strong>And he’d be astonished at the growth of the University, and its diversity. He kept a little diary of where students came from; he was really proud of the fact that Cornell drew students from all over the world. So looking at the student body today\u2014I think that would be fun for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
