Teaching Winery Opens on Campus
By Ted Boscia | April 2, 2009
With the snip of a grapevine, Susan A. Henry, the Ronald P. Lynch Dean of Agriculture and Life Sciences, opened the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) Teaching Winery before a large crowd of faculty, students, vintners and other guests April 1.
Cornell, long known for its viticulture (grape-growing) research, now claims the only university teaching winery in the eastern United States. The $900,000 facility promises to prepare students for careers in New York’s wine and grape industry, which ranks third nationally in wine production and includes more than 250 wineries across the state.
Ian Merwin, the Herman M. Cohn Professor of Horticulture, and Ramón Mira de Orduña, associate professor of enology, helped Henry unveil the 1,800-square-foot building. The winery, attached to the Cornell Orchards store, will act as the Ithaca hub for CALS’s new viticulture and enology undergraduate major, which enrolls roughly 30 students and draws on more than 50 faculty members from the horticulture, food science technology, plant pathology, and applied economics and management departments. Inside the winery, students will access cutting-edge equipment to learn the science and art of winemaking.
“The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Teaching Winery represents a major enhancement to our Viticulture and Enology (V&E) program,” said Henry. “Having this facility in Ithaca is crucial for our undergraduates, who will gain from hands-on experience in winemaking and grape-growing.”
Previously, V&E students crafted wines in a makeshift lab on the mezzanine of Stocking Hall. At the ceremony, students offered tastes of experimental wines produced in a fall 2008 class. Nearby, Sabrina Lueck ’10, a V&E major, said, “I’m beyond excited to begin using all the winery’s beautiful equipment.”
The winery includes state-of-the-art fermentation tanks and a modern microbiological and chemical lab, elements needed for the storage of grapes and the preparation and analysis of wines. It will allow students and faculty convenient access to three acres of hybrid wine grapes at Cornell Orchards and is near the program’s Lansing vineyards, which grow more traditional varieties like Pinot Noir, Riesling and Chardonnay.
“The facility will be among the finest in the United States and will provide our students with the widest possible range of winemaking experience,” said Mira de Orduña.
Mira de Orduña thanked numerous wineries and companies that donated equipment, including de-stemmers, filters, barrels and tanks, and also enzymes, yeast, bacteria and fining agents used in the production of wine. He said, in particular, that oak barrels donated by Canton Cooperage of Lebanon, Ky., and that a custom-made WinePod fermenter by Provina of San Jose, Calif., would expose students to “both the most traditional and the latest equipment available in winemaking.”

Andrew Dickson White Library
Andrew Dickson White, Cornell University’s co-founder and first president, built a great library. Although seldom identified today as one of the foremost collectors of the 19th century, his achievements have left a remarkable legacy. Unlike other famous book collectors of his time—J. Pierpont Morgan, Henry Edwards Huntington, John Jacob Astor, and James Lenox—he did not establish a separate institution to house his personal collections of books and manuscripts. Instead, White donated his entire collection of 30,000 books to the Cornell University Library—at a time when the Library possessed a collection of just 90,000 volumes. White’s great generosity reveals his utilitarian approach to collecting and, in his words, a “strong belief in the didactic value of books.” As an educator and historian he believed that one could not have a great university without a great library, and he wanted his books to be read and used by Cornell’s faculty and students.
White’s collections of materials on architecture, witchcraft, the Reformation, the French Revolution, Abolitionism and the Civil War were among the finest in the world during his lifetime. Originally shelved in the large, three-story room within Uris Library that bears his name, White’s collections are no longer kept together in one place. Many of his books were moved to the stacks in Olin Library when it opened in 1961. In recent years, most of White’s books have been transferred to the Division of Rare & Manuscript Collections for their continued protection and preservation. Today, the Andrew Dickson White Library holds a portion of the humanities and social science collections found in the combined Olin and Uris Libraries.
It is perhaps more fitting and accurate to say that Andrew Dickson White built two great libraries. The first was his large and significant personal book collection. The second was the Cornell University Library. White hired Willard Fiske to be Cornell’s first University Librarian, and he worked closely with him to develop innovative and progressive policies for their library. White purchased its first books, and played an active role throughout his life in developing the library’s collections.
Even in his student days, White had considered the merits of the most prestigious European libraries, imagining what it would be like to build an important new research library. White conceived and developed his vision for an upstate New York university during a miserable first year at college. White’s visions of a beautiful university were honed during his first year at a college whose architecture he called “sordid,” and later at Yale, where he urged classmates to “adorn and beautify the place.” While his classmates occupied themselves with shenanigans, the sixteen-year-old consoled himself in the library, where he found a book on the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge. As a University of Michigan professor in the late 1850s, he planted elms and evergreens with the help of his students and was appointed superintendent of grounds. Two decades later he would preside over an institution that embodied the vision of his youth. The faculty included professors of modern history and literature, as well as classics and mathematics. They were free of control by religious sects and political parties. And learning was accomplished not by rote memorization and recitation, but through analysis, discussion, and experience. The Victorian beauty of the A. D. White Reading Room in Uris Library would probably have satisfied White’s exacting standards.
A trace of this inspiration can be found in the stained-glass windows that line the room. They portray the crests of several Oxford and Cambridge colleges. In the north windows, for instance, the blue escutcheon contains the motto for Oxford University, “Dominus Illuminatio Mea.” Translated from Psalm 27, it means, “The Lord is my Light.” Visitors from a new generation find the room’s ambiance comes from another source, calling it the “Harry Potter” library.
When White offered his personal library to the university, he set two conditions. He asked that the university provide a suitable space to house his collection—he stipulated a fire-proof room—and he requested that proper provision be made for the ongoing maintenance of his collections. That “suitable space” is the Andrew Dickson White Library. White played an active role in helping the building’s architect, William Henry Miller, design and ornament this space.
The maintenance and cataloging of the collection became the responsibility of George Lincoln Burr, a member of the Cornell class of 1871. Burr was White’s secretary and personal librarian as well as the first curator of the White Historical Library. Originally hired by White when he was a Cornell sophomore, Burr worked closely with White to develop and care for his library. We can safely posit that after 1879, the White collection must be seen as a collaborative effort between the two scholars. Each traveled to Europe on extended book-buying tours. Burr, also a renowned professor in the Cornell History department, is given special credit for building and enriching the Library’s collections on the Reformation and witchcraft.
Burr’s portrait by Cornell art professor Christian Midjo is prominently displayed on the north wall of the room, and a small drawing by R. H. Bainton on the first tier shows Burr as Cornell historian Carl Becker once described him: an “indefatigable scholar and bibliophile . . . browsing and brooding in the stacks.”
The Andrew Dickson White Library is filled with art work, furniture, and artifacts from White’s academic and diplomatic careers. He served as U.S. minister to Germany while still president of Cornell, and later also served as minister to Russia. Several pictures and photographs in the room depict Russian scenes. The artwork and the case of plaster casts of European coins and medallions were all collected by Mr. White.
Originally, this space had skylights and an open archway into the adjacent Dean Room (where the Burr portrait now hangs). Those features were lost to renovations, but the original three tiers of wrought-iron stacks still offer an open and dramatic display of their books. Upon first seeing these shelves filled with White’s books in September of 1891, George Lincoln Burr wrote that it “gave one such an idea of a multitude of books. You see and feel them all. They quite overawe one.” Setting the objective for the collection, he promised to make the White Library, in his words, “the great living, growing historical workshop of the University.

Teaching Winery Opens on Campus

Tale of John Harvard’s Surviving Book
On his 400th anniversary, a look back at the bequest, the fire, and the “lone survivor”
•By: Jennifer Tomase, HCL Communications
•Date: November 1, 2007
This November, Harvard University will mark the 400th anniversary of the birth of John Harvard, not the institution’s founder as he is sometimes credited, but rather its first major benefactor. Such a noteworthy anniversary warrants reflection, although, unfortunately, a great many details about both the history of John Harvard and the legacy of his library are lost to time.
What is known is that John Harvard was born in the Southwark borough of London in 1607 and was baptized Nov. 29 in Southwark Cathedral. The son of Katherine Rogers and Robert Harvard, a butcher, he attended St. Saviour’s Grammar School, where his father was a governor. In 1625, the plague swept through London, claiming most of Harvard’s immediate family—his father and several siblings.
Two years later, he entered Emmanuel College at Cambridge, England, graduating in 1632 with a B.A. and M.A. In 1636, he married a woman named Ann Sadler, and the following year—which also saw the deaths of his mother and remaining brother—he set sail for New England seeking religious freedom. Upon settling in Charlestown, Harvard was named town minister, a short-lived appointment. He soon after fell ill with tuberculosis, dying on Sept. 14, 1638, at age 31. Buried in the Phipps Street Cemetery in Charlestown, the man who gave Harvard its name had lived in Massachusetts for less than a year and a half.
Upon his death, Harvard bequeathed half of his estate, £779, and his entire library of some 400 volumes brought over from England to New College, which had been founded in 1636 in Newtown—what would become Cambridge. The majority of the books in Harvard’s collection were notably theological in nature. Also represented were dictionaries, grammar books, and the classics, some in their original languages, others in well-known translations.
Although founded in 1636, the College’s construction began in 1638, and in March 1639, the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony decreed, in honor of its first major donor, “that the colledge agreed upon formerly to bee built at Cambridg shalbee called Harvard Colledge.”
The Downame Book
Over the years, scholars have tried to trace what happened to Harvard’s donation of library books. The biggest obstacle has been the 1764 fire that destroyed the early library along with the rest of the original College. The fire spared 400 or so total volumes, and those only because they were on loan to faculty and students. The traditional story goes that just one volume from John Harvard’s collection at that time was checked out—and overdue—and so it survived. That book was the fourth edition of “The Christian Warfare Against the Devil World and Flesh” by John Downame, published in 1634.
The claim of the book’s origins is not a new one. Just inside the cover of the hefty tome, stored in its red morocco case, the reader finds a handwritten note from 19th century College Librarian John L. Silbey, dated May 24, 1843. The note begins, “This book is the only one in the Library which, beyond a doubt was given by John Harvard.”
Although the history is scanty, someone did in 1667, years after the gift, enter a list of John Harvard’s books into the college records: 329 titles representing about 400 volumes. The University Archives now holds this list, which although replete with misspellings, clearly lists the Downame book.
Unfortunately, John Harvard never inscribed his name in the volume, which would have provided more definitive proof for scholars. “There’s no signature,” says Peter Accardo, coordinator of Programs at Houghton Library. “It’s one of the things that have troubled people over the years.”
Still, “The Christian Warfare” itself speaks to its history. “There is a good deal of physical evidence in this book,” says Accardo. Much of the proof lies in three small digits handwritten just inside the cover: 3.2.8. This, explains Accardo, refers to the early library’s cataloging system, which would have placed the book in bookcase number 3, on shelf number 2, as volume 8 — a setup that would have worked for a library much, much smaller than that of today. The low cataloging numbers suggest that this particular book indeed resided in the College Library from the very beginning.
Furthermore, although it counts as later evidence, a 1723 catalog of the library’s entire 3,500 volumes lists the book, indicating that it clearly existed in the library prior to the fire. The volume contains a very old bookplate, dating to the late 1700s, but that would have been added some 175 years after the book first entered the library.
However, the traditional story no longer remains quite so simple. “Today it’s pretty well received that it’s not the only book that survives from John Harvard’s library,” says Accardo. “Personally, I’ve brought in lots of books into the Houghton collections that were once in the Widener stacks. In provenance work, there is no such thing as an easy answer.”
That said, the question still warrants a good deal of research, and it is difficult to say what other possible titles might make the same claim as “The Christian Warfare.” Today the Downame book is seldom used by researchers but sits on display in Houghton’s lobby in a sectioned bookcase labeled “Harvard.” Alongside this original piece of Harvard’s legacy reside copies of many of the books he gave to the library in 1638.
Harvard College Library will mark the 400th anniversary of John Harvard’s birth with the exhibition “Heralds of Light: John Harvard and the Memorial Church, 1607.1932.2007,” which will run Nov. 1-Dec. 21 in Pusey Library. Hours: Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

Teaching Winery Opens on Campus
By Ted Boscia | April 2, 2009
With the snip of a grapevine, Susan A. Henry, the Ronald P. Lynch Dean of Agriculture and Life Sciences, opened the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) Teaching Winery before a large crowd of faculty, students, vintners and other guests April 1.
Cornell, long known for its viticulture (grape-growing) research, now claims the only university teaching winery in the eastern United States. The $900,000 facility promises to prepare students for careers in New York’s wine and grape industry, which ranks third nationally in wine production and includes more than 250 wineries across the state.
Ian Merwin, the Herman M. Cohn Professor of Horticulture, and Ramón Mira de Orduña, associate professor of enology, helped Henry unveil the 1,800-square-foot building. The winery, attached to the Cornell Orchards store, will act as the Ithaca hub for CALS’s new viticulture and enology undergraduate major, which enrolls roughly 30 students and draws on more than 50 faculty members from the horticulture, food science technology, plant pathology, and applied economics and management departments. Inside the winery, students will access cutting-edge equipment to learn the science and art of winemaking.
“The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Teaching Winery represents a major enhancement to our Viticulture and Enology (V&E) program,” said Henry. “Having this facility in Ithaca is crucial for our undergraduates, who will gain from hands-on experience in winemaking and grape-growing.”
Previously, V&E students crafted wines in a makeshift lab on the mezzanine of Stocking Hall. At the ceremony, students offered tastes of experimental wines produced in a fall 2008 class. Nearby, Sabrina Lueck ’10, a V&E major, said, “I’m beyond excited to begin using all the winery’s beautiful equipment.”
The winery includes state-of-the-art fermentation tanks and a modern microbiological and chemical lab, elements needed for the storage of grapes and the preparation and analysis of wines. It will allow students and faculty convenient access to three acres of hybrid wine grapes at Cornell Orchards and is near the program’s Lansing vineyards, which grow more traditional varieties like Pinot Noir, Riesling and Chardonnay.
“The facility will be among the finest in the United States and will provide our students with the widest possible range of winemaking experience,” said Mira de Orduña.
Mira de Orduña thanked numerous wineries and companies that donated equipment, including de-stemmers, filters, barrels and tanks, and also enzymes, yeast, bacteria and fining agents used in the production of wine. He said, in particular, that oak barrels donated by Canton Cooperage of Lebanon, Ky., and that a custom-made WinePod fermenter by Provina of San Jose, Calif., would expose students to “both the most traditional and the latest equipment available in winemaking.”

The Memorial Transept
This memorial space boasts a 2,600 square foot marble floor, a sixty foot high wooden Gothic vault, two stained glass windows spanning 708 square feet each, black walnut paneling, stenciled walls and 28 white marble tablets bearing the names of 136 Harvard associates who fell on behalf of the Union cause during the Civil War. The youngest, Sumner Paine, class of 1865, fell at Gettysburg on July 3, 1863, two years before his intended graduation. The Paul Joseph Revere listed is the grandson of the famous Paul Revere.
Three different stained-glass works have been installed in the north transept window. The original work designed for this window by Donald MacDonald was removed and replaced by Sarah Wyman Whitman’s Martin Brimmer Memorial Window in 1898. There are no records indicating the reason for the replacement nor the fate of the original north transept window. In 1902 or 1903, the Whitman window was transposed with MacDonald’s Virtues window which was originally installed in the south window. The transposition was made, presumably, to allow more light for the Brimmer Memorial Window.
Public viewing hours of the transept are dictated by the College’s academic calendar, the Sander’s Theater performance schedule and maintenance requirements. Typically, visitors may gain access to the transept on weekdays from 12:00 noon until 6:00 PM.

If you're a fan of the Film Photography Project you'll know that they recently released their own Monobath! Well I finally got around to testing out the bottle I was sent and when I pulled out the first roll from the tank, I'll have to say I am pretty impressed! Though I did notice that the film base stayed that lovely TMAX purple, but the images speak for themselves! Wow!
