Of the Ivy League schools, Cornell is unusual in many ways. Educational historian Frederick Rudolph called Cornell the first "American university." That is, it was the first university on the pattern that many American universities—particularly the land-grant state universities—were to follow: coeducational, nonsectarian, and comprehensive. From the beginning, it was intended to compass far more than the classics and the liberal arts. This is shown by Cornell's motto, “I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study," and by the fact that it is the only Ivy League school whose motto is not in Latin.
