My inspiration came from our family physician, Dr. William Conkling. I had selected Cornell University by the time I was six years old. I first toured the campus in 1893 [and on a later campus visit] I met ...a student in the law school. I learned he was there on a State Scholarship and I made up my mind to have one also.” |
