- Description:
- "All the rest and residue of my estate I give, devise, and bequeath to Cornell University in the state of New York, United States of America, absolutely, to be used by the board of trustees for the promotion especially of liberal studies, languages, ancient and modern, literature, philosophy, history and political science, for which provision has been made in the building of which my wife has contributed. In confirming this bequest my desire is to show my attachment to the University in the foundation of which I had the honour [sic] of taking a part to pay my respects to the memory of Ezra Cornell, and to show my attachment as an Englishman to the union of the two branches of our race on this continent with each other and their common mother. Goldwin Smith."
