MOUNT VERNON -- Select items from the Cornell College archives are making a rare public appearance in the Cole Library gallery as part of Cornell's sesquicentennial celebration. This unusual exhibit is on view through March 31. A reception will be held from 3-4 p.m. Tuesday, March 23.
Among the artifacts are a men's cheerleading uniform from 1929, oil portraits of legendary Cornell characters, a bust of William Fletcher King and a Dumpf Stumpf pin (find out more about it in the exhibit). In addition to many labeled photographs are the original skeleton keys to College Hall, a student desk from the early days of the college, leather-bound 19th-century student records, a Brown Bomber cartoon and a master plan for the campus that never came to fruition.
Many of these items have never been displayed before.
