## Summary

Cornell was founded in 1865 by Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White and opened in Ithaca, New York, in 1868 as a nonsectarian university open to students regardless of background. It is New York's federal land-grant institution, and several of its colleges are state-supported statutory colleges, so it has both private and public functions.
