TitleLKE Cornell
DescriptionRecords documenting Leonard Elmhirst's student life at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, between 1919 and 1921. Records document his arrival, registration and housing at Cornell, where Leonard became a member of the Telluride Association and was elected president of the Cosmopolitan Club. There are financial records and pamphlets in connection with both campus organisations.

Other materials in this series include first and second year student notes, agricultural publications; pamphlets; bulletins; reports; circulars; catalogues; programmes; press cuttings. There is also correspondence with professors, Cornell University presidents, deans and other academic officials.

Through his association with the Cosmopolitan Club, Leonard was encouraged to seek financial assistance from Dorothy Whitney Straight in New York City. Correspondence and financial records pertain to this.

Records after 1921 record his continuing association with faculty at Cornell, and also his involvement in the planning for Willard Straight Hall, a student union building built in memory of Willard Straight, Dorothy Elmhirst's first husband.
