Alonzo Cornell was the son of Ezra Cornell, who founded Cornell University. Alonzo proposed publishing these reminiscences with a Founder's Day speech delivered by Francis M. Finch. There is no evidence that these were ever published as a memorial volume. The only paper known to have been used is the reminiscence by Andrew Dickson White. It was delivered as a Founder's Day Address in 1890 and published as a pamphlet the same year. It was also included in White's autobiography.
