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

Famous quotes containing the word influence:

    “Power lasts ten years; influence not more than a hundred.”
    —Korean proverb, quoted in Alan L. Mackay, The Harvest of a Quiet Eye (1977)

    “Exhaust them, wrestle with them, let them not go until their blessing be won, and, after a short season, the dismay will be overpast, the excess of influence withdrawn, and they will be no longer an alarming meteor, but one more brighter star shining serenely in your heaven, and blending its light with all your day.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Perhaps I stand now on the eve of a new life, shall watch the sun rise and disappear behind a black cloud extending out into a grey sky cover. I shall not be deceived by its glory. If it is to be so, there is work and the influence that work brings, but not happiness. Am I strong enough to face that?”
    —Beatrice Potter Webb (1858–1943)
