    TOMPKINS COUNTY Navigating A Sea Of Resources PUBLIC LIBRARY Title: The first hundred years : a history of the Cornell Public Library, Ithaca, New York, and the Cornell Library Association, 1864-1964. Author: Call number: LH-CASE 027.409 Peer Publisher: [Ithaca, N.Y.?] : [s.n.] 1969. Owner: Ithaca - Tompkins County Public Library Assigned Branch: Ithaca - Tompkins County Public Library (TCPL) Collection: Local History (LH) Material type: Book Number of pages: 1 30 pages THE FIRST HUNDRED YEARS A HISTORY OF THE CORNELL PUBLIC LIBRARY Ithaca, New York and the CORNELL LIBRARY ASSOCIATION 1864 - 1964 by Sherman Peer THE AUTHOR It's good to think of the new library so well organized and increasing in service. I am happy to have lived to see it functioning fully and so well received by the people of Tompkins County. Letter from Sherman Peer, dated February 2?, 19^9, to Mrs. John Vandervort, chairman of the trustees of the Tompkins County Public Library. Sherman Peer searched the records of the Cornell Library Association, many other written sources, and his own rich memories to write this history. A prominent Ithaca attorney who enjoyed writing and story-telling, Mr. Peer completed his work on it in 1964, when he was 81 years old. The epilogue was written by Mary Tibbets Freeman, and the manuscript was prepared for presentation at the formal dedication of the Tompkins County Library Building on April 20, 19&9. The historian also shaped the library's history by assisting in its successful rebirth as a public institution in its second century. He was convinced that the Cornell Public Library, operated since 1866 by the private Cornell Library Associa tion founded by Ezra Cornell, needed public funds for a new building and continuing support.

    Your guide to resources that support all the dimensions of your wellbeing. HR.CORNELL.EDU/WELLBEING 1 2 1.6.20 Dear Colleague, During your time with Cornell, we want you to be well and THRIVE. Cornell invests in benefits, programs, and services to support employee wellbeing. This guide features a wide range of university (and many community!) resources available to support you in various dimensions of your wellbeing. As you browse this guide, which is organized around Cornell’s Seven Dimensions of Wellbeing model pictured below, you’ll find many resources cross-referenced in multiple dimensions. This illustrates the multifaceted nature of wellbeing. It is often non-linear in nature, and our most important elements shift as our work and Mary Opperman personal lives evolve. CHRO and Vice President Division of Human Resources We experience wellbeing both personally and as members of our various communities, including our work community. We each have opportunities to positively contribute to Cornell’s culture of wellbeing as we celebrate our colleagues’ life events, support one another during difficult times, share resources, and find creative approaches to how, where, and when work gets done. Behind this page is a “quick start directory” of Cornell wellbeing-related contacts. Please save this page and reach out any time you need assistance! Although some of these resources are specific to Cornell’s Ithaca campus, we recognize and are continuing to focus on expanding offerings to our employees in all locations.

Among other topics, Webb advised that he was the last survivor of the three “Bronxville Boys” who came to Cornell in 1950 from that village in Westchester County. They roomed together as freshmen, joined Delta Upsilon together and remained close friends through graduation and beyond. They even sat side by side in the 54 Cornellian’s group photo of their fraternity. Boyce Thompson, who died in 2009, worked for Pet Milk in St. Louis for a few years after graduation and later moved to Dallas where he formed and ran a successful food brokerage specializing in gourmet mixed nuts. Ever the comedian, his business phone number (after the area code) was 223-6887, which made the letters BAD-NUTS. Thankfully, his customers did not figure it out.

  • Chimesmasters Attend 2008 Guild of Carillonneurs Congress Ryan Fan ‘10, and Scott Silverstein ‘08 and Jennifer Lory-Moran ‘96, ‘97
    Fall 2008 No. 41 Newsletter of the Cornell Chimesmasters and McGraw Tower Chimesmasters attend 2008 Guild of Carillonneurs Congress Ryan Fan ‘10, and Scott Silverstein ‘08 and Jennifer Lory-Moran ‘96, ‘97 This summer, three chimesmasters basked in the California sun for several days while attending the 66th Congress of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America (GCNA). From the very moment we set foot on the University of California (UC) Berkeley campus, we (Jen Lory-Moran ‘96, ‘97, Scott Silverstein ‘08, and Ryan Fan ‘10) were inundated with amazing carillon music issuing forth from Sather Tower, which was modeled after the campanile in St. Mark’s Square in Venice, as was our very own McGraw Tower. Sather Tower stands at 307 feet and holds a 61-bell carillon. Besides carillon recitals and GCNA c a n d i d a t e s ’ examination recitals, there were performances by several well-known carillonneurs, such as Gordon Slater and Geert D’hollander. Both carillonneurs had held master classes for the Cornell Chimesmasters in the past year (as noted in the Spring 2008 Cornell Chimes Newsletter). At the end of the conference, they were the only two carillonneurs awarded the prestigious Berkeley Medal for their services to the carillon. Jen, who served as Geert D’hollander’s official page-turner during his recital, declared that watching him play was one of the most thrilling experiences she has ever had. Not only was this a rare occasion for the chimesmasters to 307-foot Slather Tower at the University simply sit and listen to live carillon music; of California at Berkeley.

    Fall 2007 No. 39 Newsletter of the Cornell Chimesmasters and McGraw Tower Chimesmasters Head South for GCNA 2007 Crystal Cun ‘07 and Jennifer Lory-Moran ‘96, ‘97 In June, we had the opportunity to attend the 2007 Guild of Carillonneurs of North America (GCNA) Congress at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. As always, it was a fantastic experience. The congress allows student carillonneurs to gain admittance into the guild, and this year’s conference included four exam candidates, as well as many recitals by professional carillonneurs. Nothing compares to laying in the grass in gorgeous weather while listening to beautiful music! The University of the South features a 56-bell carillon, and we jumped on the chance to tour Shapard Tower and play a new instrument. However, in case conquering one tower wasn’t enough, the congress provided ample opportunities to explore other bell instruments. Jennifer went on an outing to Ooltewah, Tennessee to see the newest carillon in the United States at the time. Meeks and Watson had finished the installation about two hours before the group’s arrival! As part of the post- congress activities, we visited three carillons at Belmont University, David Lipscomb University, and an installation of 95 bells (representing each county in Tennessee) in 50 towers Crystal Cun ‘07 tries out the carillon at David at the Bicentennial Mall. Each of the 50 Lipscomb University while at GCNA. towers contained one, two, or three bells, and they were placed in a large circle and played remotely from a cabin. Wild! Carillons aside, the conference provided plenty of other learning experiences.

  • "True and Firm." Biography of Ezra Cornell, Founder of the Cornell
    ifflmortam t J. REV. R. J. COTTER, D. 0. BIOGRAPHY EZRA CORNELL, FOUNDER OF THE CORNELL UNIVERSITY. 'gilml NEW YORK : A. S. BARNES & COMPANY. 1884. COPYRIGHT BY A. S. BARNES & CO. 1884 I J CO MY DEAR MOTHER, WHOSE AFFECTIONATE DEVOTION, FRUGAL ECONOMY, WISE COUNSEL, PATIENT FIDELITY AND CHEERFUL BEARING CONTRIBUTED SO MUCH TO THE ACHIEVEMENTS RECORDED HEREIN, THIS VOLUME IS DEDICATED AS A TRIBUTE OF FILIAL GRATITUDE AND REVERENCE. PREFACE. FOR several years it has been the author's de- sire that a suitable biography of the FOUNDER OF THE CORNELL UNIVERSITY should be prepared by another, whose cultured pen would invest the work with that degree of interest to which the subject is so worthily entitled. Exacting duties have, however, delayed such an undertaking, and still prevent any reasonable promise of its early consummation. Mainly for the purpose of placing the material in form for safe preservation for future use, this simple record of the leading incidents of his earnest life and untiring labors has been pre- pared, which, it is hoped, may hereafter serve as a text-book of facts requisite for the more inter- esting treatment of the subject by other and abler hands. Prepared originally for private use, it is realized that the work is deficient of any literary and that merit which would justify its publication, vi PREFACE. course has finally been taken only at the urgent solicitation of interested friends. Time has already largely depleted the ranks of those familiar with the early history of the tele- graph enterprise in America, and but few now re- main with us who participated in the pioneer work with which the subject of this sketch was so in- timately associated.
