Cornell student Elsie Scheel, at 5’7 and 171 pounds, was described by The New York Times in 1912 as “a near perfect specimen of womanhood,” whose “very presence bespeaks perfect health.” 

Spenser Reed ’14, a double major in food science and nutritional sciences,  joined the search for natural pharmaceuticals this summer at the Cornell Biodiversity Laboratory in the Dominican Republic.

Cornell’s Division of Nutritional Sciences dedicated a plaque in the lobby of Savage Hall in honor of Prof. James B. Sumner, biochemistry, who won a Nobel Prize in 1946 for his discovery that enzymes can be crystallized.
