Cornell University is a university in Ithaca, New York, founded in 1865 by businessman Ezra Cornell. It is the youngest member of the Ivy League, the last of eight. It is also one of the four Ivy League schools to accept applications from homeschooled children.[2] Cornell was originally founded as a land grant institution with public funding, but has evolved into essentially a private school (with some special relationships to the State of New York).

Of the Ivy League schools, Cornell is unusual in many ways. Educational historian Frederick Rudolph called Cornell the first "American university." That is, it was the first university on the pattern that many American universities—particularly the land-grant state universities—were to follow: coeducational, nonsectarian, and comprehensive. From the beginning, it was intended to compass far more than the classics and the liberal arts. This is shown by Cornell's motto, “I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study," and by the fact that it is the only Ivy League school whose motto is not in Latin.
