Cornell College is a private college in Mount Vernon, Iowa. Originally the Iowa
Conference Seminary, the school was founded in 1853 by George Bryant Bowman.
Four years later, in 1857, the name was changed to Cornell College, in honor of
iron tycoon William Wesley Cornell, a distant relative of Ezra Cornell (founder
of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York). Source:
