Cornell University, School of Applied and Engineering Physics
Cornell has been described as the first truly American university. Co-founders Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White shared very specific—and progressive—beliefs about what higher education should accomplish. Both men wanted to expand the existing limited American model of higher education in the classics and ancient history by offering courses on modern philosophy, literature, government, history, political economy, and science, as well as instruction in agricultural science, veterinary medicine, mechanics, engineering, and architecture. And they wanted Cornell University to be open to all students, regardless of sex, race, religion, nationality, or ability to pay. Their egalitarian and practical vision of higher education, revolutionary in 1865, still informs the guiding principles of the university in the 21st century.
