Connecting with Cornell volume 18, issue 1 (Fall/Winter 2005): Cornell Research From Basic to Applied

Abstract

There are few universities anywhere in the world with the research scope of Cornell University. Cornell's record of practical research, a hallmark of the institution as conceived by Ezra Cornell, has served the university well, as much from the knowledge gained as from the training it affords students. Cornell's research, whether basic or applied, has anchored the university's programs in instruction and outreach and its tradition of research for the betterment of society
