...corner stone of Sage College was laid with imposing ceremonies. There was much in the occasion to call earnest words from the distinguished men present, among whom may be mentioned Henry W. Sage, a man to whose liberality Cornell owes Sage College and much besides, Ezra Cornell, Chancellor Winchell of Syracuse University, Moses Coit Tyler, Goldwin Smith, Colonel Homer B. Sprague, President Angell of Ann Arbor, Dr. W. D. Wilson, Prof. Babcock, architect, and President White. Since the opening of Sage College the number of young women who have availed themselves of the privileges of Cornell University has steadily increased...
Most of the "co-eds," as they are called in student slang, live in Sage College, which is the most attractive building, from an architectural point of view, on the campus, with the possible exception of the new Physical Laboratory. It is finely located on the hill, commanding a view of the town and lake; indeed, from the upper stories of Sage, the eye can take in the country for miles up and down the valley.

Sage College boasts a flourishing fraternity, or more accurately sorosity, Kappa Alpha Theta, which has chapters in several other colleges, most of them in the West...
...similar institution in the world. The one person above all others to whose munificence these possibilities are due is the late Mrs. Jennie McGraw Fiske. As a fitting resting-place for her remains, those of her father and of Ezra Cornell, there will be erected a memorial chapel adjoining Sage Chapel. The basement will be a vault for the reception of bodies, and will be entirely without ornament; the upper part will be elaborately finished. Part of the material is already on the spot, and the stone-cutting will be done in the winter, but the mausoleum will...
