註釋The college one attends often shapes the way he or she engages the world, and Cornell has always semed to attract confident, independent-minded men and women, unafraid to venture where others are reluctant to tread, to a setting where they prepare to shape the conditions in American thought and action. Cornellians who have scaled the heights of achievement and/or notoriety include current and past innovators, reformers, and pioneers - world leaders, celebrated artists, gifted athletes, renowned academics, innovative scientists, and captains of industry. Their adventurous spirit and endless curiosity represent distinction in every area of public, professional, and corporate life. In The Cornell University Who's Who, author Michael Turback (Class of '66) has assembled over 250 life sketches of the noteworthy and influential in all walks of life, not meant to provide a comprehensive nor complete reference, but rather an entertaining, drive-thru compendium that is as wonderfully unclassifiable as it is impossible to put down. Within these pages you'll find a wealth of entertaining details - everything you will ever need to know about the accomplished, the iconic, the famous (and sometimes infamous), the noble and ignoble who once roamed the corridors of this remarkable institution.
