Marie Reith’s 1916 vow to ‘do good’ lives on in new scholarship
More than a century after pioneering engineer Marie Reith vowed to “do some good” in the world, her legacy endures through the new Marie Reith Class of 1921 Scholarship. Funded by Herb Fontecilla ’66, M.Eng. ’67, the gift honors the woman who helped him begin his Cornell journey and will support future first-generation engineers.
