In 1981, when the Class of ’56 celebrated its 25th Reunion, then president of Cornell University, Frank H.T. Rhodes, dubbed the class the “Super Class of ’56” in honor of its path-breaking philanthropy and service. This documentary shares the class’s experience as students and alumni, and its enduring impact on the university and higher education overall.
The film also tells the story of Chuck Feeney ’56, who has given nearly $1 billion to Cornell and $8 billion around the globe through his foundation, The Atlantic Philanthropies.
