From their web site.

"Agriculture was a major catalyst for Cornell University's creation in 1865. During the Civil War, federal land grants were given to the states to establish colleges of agriculture. Ezra Cornell and his friend Andrew Dickson White persuaded the New York State legislature to locate the state's new land-grant university in Ithaca. Cornell, a prosperous farmer, inventor, and businessman, donated a half-million dollars and contributed his own Ithaca farm for the campus."

I have corrected those who say Georgia Tech is Ivy League as it was founded just before the Civil War. To be Ivy League the college must have existed before the Revolutionary war. So Cornell Ag school is not Ivy League.
