Report Of The Committee On Organization by Andrew D. White. This document presents the plan for establishing Cornell University in the mid?1860s, outlining a two?division university designed to combine specialized science and arts with broad general education. It proposes a Division of Special Sciences and Arts (including Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Civil Engineering, Mining, Medicine and Surgery, Law, Jurisprudence, Political Science and History, Education) and a Division of Science, Literature and the Arts in General (General, Scientific, and Optional Courses). The report argues for widening access to varied studies beyond a single traditional curriculum, preserving value in classical studies while emphasizing modern languages and the broad mental discipline gained through a diversified curriculum. It details governance and faculty structure (resident, non?resident, and lecturers), salaries, the Academic Senate, and the library, observatory, and collections. It also covers student life, housing, finances, and relations with state educational institutions. Guiding principles invoke Humboldt and Mill, centering human development in diverse faculties, while advocating careful, phased implementation of core departments and flexible growth.
