Cornell University’s library used to have a bust of Abram Lincoln and the Gettysburg Address. Not anymore, a complaint was submitted, and they were subsequently removed. Queries about the removal lead to a dead end, as the librarians responded that a complaint was submitted. They did not provide additional details. However, the communications team provided more information.<\/p>\n

The communications team for Cornell told Fox News Digital that the display was a “temporary exhibit” installed to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address in 2013.<\/p>\n

“President Lincoln’s bust was part of a temporary exhibit on the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address. The bust was on display in the Rare and Manuscript Collections from 2013 to 2021,” Rebecca Valli, director of media relations at Cornell University, told Fox News Digital on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“Cornell proudly possesses one of five known copies of the Gettysburg Address in Lincoln’s hand. The original is safely sequestered, with a digital facsimile on permanent display. Additionally, five electronic Lincoln exhibitions are available for 24\/7 viewing online,” Valli added.<\/p>\n

Valli did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on Wayne’s claim that librarians had informed him the display was removed after a complaint. Fox News also reached out to the school’s library inquiring about his claim but did not receive a response.<\/p>\n

Photos of where the display was once held show the area now sits barren.<\/p>\n

Before Valli issued comment about the display to the media, Wayne had emailed Cornell’s president, Martha E. Pollack, on June 23 inquiring whether she was aware the display was removed and why, according to email correspondence reviewed by Fox News Digital. The email went unanswered until Tuesday when a staffer for Pollack’s office responded that “President Pollack isn’t typically made aware of changes with exhibitions in the library, which I believe are decided upon by library staff.”<\/p>\n

Wayne said he believes no one “has the whole story at this time” about the removed display, and emphasized the importance the Gettysburg Address has for him and his students.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
