Description
Sage Chapel, on the campus of Cornell University (Ithaca, NY), offers an oasis of spiritual calm on the busy Ivy League campus. Opened in June of 1875, the non-denominational chapel hosts, student groups, lectures and concerts. Guest lecturers from religion, science and the humanities include: Phillips Brooks, Lyman Beecher, John R. Mott, Harry Emerson Fosdick, Martin Luther King Sr & Jr, Reinhold Niebuhr, Paul Tillich, Elie Wiesel, Hans Kung, Carl Sagan and Jane Goodall. Sage Chapel was the gift of Mr and Mrs Henry William Sage, and designed by Cornell professor of architecture, Rev. Charles Babcock. Expanded and aggrandized over the years the chapel contains several Tiffany glass windows, back altar mosaics dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge, beautiful golden chandeliers, rosette windows, and a memorial stained glass window dedicated to three civil rights workers--including Cornell alum Michael Schwerner--murdered by the Klu Klux Klan in Philadelphia, Mississippi, during 1964's Freedom Summer. Numerous benefactors, including founder Ezra Cornell and first president Andrew Dickson White, are buried the the chapel mausoleum. Sage Chapel is a popular location for campus weddings.
