Cornell University Press is an academic publisher that publishes over 1,000 titles a year from the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Founded in 1866, they publish works in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Latin, and more. The university press was originally founded by Ezra Cornell as a non-profit organization in 1865. Cornell University Press has been publishing literature since its inception in 1866. In this time they have published works by authors like Ralph Waldo Emerson, William Shakespeare, John Milton, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The company started to grow quickly when Cornell's son Andrew Dickson White became the first president of the university in 1868. He decided the press would become one of the university's primary moneymakers and turned it into a for-profit entity with White's nephew Frederick A.P. Barnard as editor. It is now part of the Ivy Group Worldwide Holdings and is one of the largest academic publishers in the world with around 1,000 titles published every year.
