White and Cornell successfully politicked to obtain the benefits of the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862 for their new university.
White was largely responsible for recruiting faculty to come to the new institution, and as president, he was instrumental in the development of the university's library and its other collections by his own purchases and through encouraging the gifts of others.
White was a distinguished scholar, lecturer, and writer.
AndrewWhite valued education that went beyond the traditional curriculum of Latin, Greek, mathematics, moral philosophy, and Christian evidences.
The mission, as White saw it, was to train people as leaders in industry and agriculture, and in a broader sense, to prepare all students for a useful role in society (Rudolph, 1962).
White said in higher education there was "too much reciting by rote and too little intercourse between teacher and taught" (Bishop, p.33).
