Excerpt from Centennial Anniversary of the Birth of Ezra Cornell: Addresses at the Celebration Held at Cornell University, April 26, 1907 As his ideas developed under constant conference with Mr. White, the public became more and more excited, and the introduction of the bill for a charter was the signal for war. The small sectarian colleges were up in arms and sent delegates to Albany; they also stirred up the press throughout the State. The cries of Monopoly, A Grab, A Swindle, were all played upon, and it was charged that Cornell was only seeking to erect a monu ment to himself by planning to rob the State. He had once to sit and hear a lawyer, employed to address the Committee against the bill, intimate that he was a swindler. He whispered to Mr. White, If I could think of any other way in which half a million dollars would do as much good to the State I should give the legislators no more trouble. Here we have a revelation of the man and his aims. Because it was the good of his State that he had solely in view, he could sit thus patiently under abuse and hear his aims 'misrepresented. Innocence always has a quiet breast, and the vile charges passed by him as idle wind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
