Twelve members were profiled in the book, The 100 Most Notable Cornellians.

Famous quotes containing the word influence:

    “The woman who can’t influence her husband to vote the way she wants ought to be ashamed of herself.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “They tell us that women can bring better things to pass by indirect influence. Try to persuade any man that he will have more weight, more influence, if he gives up his vote, allies himself with no party and relies on influence to achieve his ends! By all means let us use to the utmost whatever influence we have, but in all justice do not ask us to be content with this.”
    —Mrs. William C. Gannett, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 5, ch. 8, by Ida Husted Harper (1922)

    “The purifying, healing influence of literature, the dissipating of passions by knowledge and the written word, literature as the path to understanding, forgiveness and love, the redeeming might of the word, the literary spirit as the noblest manifestation of the spirit of man, the writer as perfected type, as saint.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
