WORLDWIDE SHIPPING VIA FEDEX Charles Van Patten Young November 30, 1876 — November 12, 1960 Few Cornellians have been so closely identified with the University as was Charles Van Patten Young. Professor of Physical Education and Athletics from 1905 until 1944, and Professor Emeritus since then, he died at his home in Ithaca eighteen days before his eighty-fourth birthday. C. V. P. Young was known and loved by thousands of Cornell undergraduates, who affectionately referred to him as “coat, vest, and pants.” It was his conception that all young men and women were better off with regular exercise and should develop abilities to play games, which could be continued after college. He was a strong advocate of golf, tennis, swimming, skiing, canoeing, and horseshoes, and his influence had much to do with providing facilities for those sports at Cornell. His interest in Cornell athletics never diminished, and he never hesitated to offer gratuitous advice to the coaches when things did not please him. He was not a cheerful loser, so there were many such opportunities over his sixty years in Ithaca. He and his great and good friend, Jack Moakley, were constant companions from the time Jack came on the Cornell scene as track and cross country coach in 1899 until Jack’s death in 1955. They took evening walks together and had the happy and comfortable kind of relationship, which permitted occasional vigorous differences of opinion without the loss of a moment’s respect and friendship. And these two vivid personalities had strong opinions on a wide assortment of topics. “Tar” Young was a lovable cuss and an unforgettable one. A graduate with the Class of 1899, receiving the A.B. degree, “Tar” was one of Cornell’s greatest athletes, and he maintained a deep interest in intercollegiate and intramural athletics until his death. On the varsity football team he was a brilliant quarterback; in baseball he was an outstanding pitcher and captained the team in his sophomore and junior years. He played major league baseball for one year as a pitcher with the Philadelphia Athletics. He was instrumental in the development of Upper and Lower Alumni Fields, the Balch Hall athletic fields for women, and the ski slope, named in his honor, in the Caroline Hills eleven miles east of Ithaca. He had much to do with the construction of the old intramural boathouse on the west shore of the Inlet. He originated the Cornell Cornell University Faculty Memorial Statement
