Sage: a love story
Jennifer Cleland, Ph.D. ’99, a retired staff member in Cornell’s Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, and Robert Stundtner, director of project management at Cornell, have written “Sage Hall: Experiments in Coeducation and Preservation at Cornell University.”
The history of Sage Hall, built as a women’s residence in 1874, reflects the early feminist movement in upstate New York and the social reformism of Cornell’s founders. The story of the authors’ courtship is woven into the narrative of the renovation of Sage to house the Johnson School, which Stundtner managed.
