Learn local lore, Cornell historian Earle says in 'Last Lecture' | Cornell Chronicle
Briefly

Earle emphasized, "We learned all that just by being curious about an inscription on a stone fireplace. Think about all the countless stories around this campus, around wherever you are, if you just noticed them. Stop and read the plaques and signs. Everywhere has a story." This idea highlights the importance of curiosity and observation in uncovering history and narratives around us.
Kurtz remarked on Earle's lecture, stating, "I think it's really special that he went to Cornell and was in our shoes. Hearing from someone who is a successful lecturer here, we can use his insights to guide our own paths as students." This showcases the value of mentorship and learning from the experiences of alumni.
