Information

Sheldon Court was home to White in 1917 and Toni Morrison in 1955. Morrison came to Cornell in 1953 to do graduate work in English. She said she chose Cornell mainly because she had "nowhere to go." In 1955, after turning in what she described as a "shaky" thesis, she received a Master's degree.
