二、歷史沿革
康奈爾大學(Cornell University)是由企業(yè)家埃茲拉·康奈爾和學者安德魯·懷特兩人攜手合作創(chuàng)辦的一所獨具特色的大學，它成立于1865年(獲得州長簽署的特許狀)。其首任校長懷特曾留學法國和德國，后任當時最富改革精神的密歇根大學教授，1864年當選為紐約州參議員并任參議教育委員會主席，恰逢康奈爾在同一參議院任農(nóng)業(yè)委員會主席。康奈爾是一個依靠自己的勤勞的技術(shù)致富的企業(yè)家和農(nóng)場主，西部聯(lián)合電報公司股票的最大擁有者。當時莫里爾法案已通過，紐約州議會正在考慮建立一所適當?shù)霓r(nóng)工學院。于是懷特說服康奈爾捐資(共50萬美元及校園田地)，連政府贈地資金建立了這所新型大學?？的螤柎髮W從一開始就兼具公立和私立雙重性質(zhì)，具有“公私合營”的特點，在它的13所學院中，私人捐助建立9所，州政府資助建立4所(農(nóng)業(yè)與生物學院、人類環(huán)境學院和工業(yè)與勞工關(guān)系學院是公立學院)，這在美國是獨一無二的。
