520 In their history of Cornell since 1940, Glenn C.
Altschuler and Isaac Kramnick examine the institution in
the context of the emergence of the modern research
university. The book examines Cornell during the Cold War,
the civil rights movement, Vietnam, antiapartheid protests,
the ups and downs of varsity athletics, the women's
movement, the opening of relations with China, and the
creation of Cornell NYC Tech. It relates profound,
fascinating, and little-known incidents involving the
faculty, administration, and student life, connecting them
to the "Cornell idea" of freedom and responsibility. The
authors had access to all existing papers of the
presidents of Cornell, which deeply informs their
respectful but unvarnished portrait of the university.
Institutions, like individuals, develop narratives about
themselves. Cornell constructed its sense of self, of how
it was special and different, on the eve of World War II,
when America defended democracy from fascist dictatorship.
Cornell's fifth president, Edmund Ezra Day, and Carl
Becker, its preeminent historian, discerned what they
called a Cornell "soul," a Cornell "character," a Cornell
"personality," a Cornell "tradition"-and they called it
"freedom." "The Cornell idea" was tested and contested in
Cornell's second seventy-five years. Cornellians used the
ideals of freedom and responsibility as weapons for change
-and justifications for retaining the status quo; to
protect academic freedom-and to rein in radical
professors; to end in loco parentis and parietal rules, to
preempt panty raids, pornography, and pot parties, and to
reintroduce regulations to protect and promote the
physical and emotional well-being of students; to add
nanofabrication, entrepreneurship, and genomics to the
curriculum-and to require language courses, freshmen
writing, and physical education. In the name of freedom
(and responsibility), black students occupied Willard
Straight Hall, the anti-Vietnam War SDS took over the
Engineering Library, proponents of divestment from South
Africa built campus shantytowns, and Latinos seized Day
Hall. In the name of responsibility (and freedom), the
university reclaimed them. The history of Cornell since
World War II, Altschuler and Kramnick believe, is in large
part a set of variations on the narrative of freedom and
its partner, responsibility, the obligation to others and
to one's self to do what is right and useful, with a
principled commitment to the Cornell community-and to the
world outside the Eddy Street gate.
