Cornell College District – Photos

Aerial view of Cornell College campus

Cornell College was established in 1853. The entire Cornell campus is on the National Register of Historic Places. The college is an integral part of Mount Vernon. Cornell and the public even share Cole Library, the only private-college-community-shared library in the country. Peruse photos of Cornellians through the ages, from King Chapel to the Orange Carpet.
