ITHACA, N.Y. -- For nearly 125 years, historians have assumed that a letter Cornell University Founder Ezra Cornell wrote and placed for posterity into the Sage Hall cornerstone had addressed the university's coeducational status. After all, the campus building was to house the Sage College for Women at the only public coeducational institution of higher education in the eastern United States. But historians could only assume; Cornell made no copy of his letter and showed it to no one at the time. No one but Cornell himself knew its contents. Until now.
