Ezra Cornell sent a sweet note to his 4-year-old granddaughter, Eunice, on Feb. 18, 1867, encouraging her to go to a good school. He wrote, "I want to have girls educated in the university as well as boys, so that they may have the same opportunity to become wise and useful to society that the boys have. I want you to keep this letter until you grow up to be a woman and want to go to a good school where you can have a good opportunity to learn, so you can show it to the President and Faculty of the University to let them know that it is the wish of your Grand Pa, that girls as well as boys should be educated at the Cornell University." Eunice attended Vassar College.
