Von Cramm Hall is a
16th Panzer Division of the Wehrmacht who was killed by a Soviet grenade near Mariupol, Ukraine on October 6, 1941. As she had no heirs, von Elverfeldt placed her American assets to Gilchrist and his son in trust, to be used for educational purposes.[2][3][4]
First occupied in September 1957, Von Cramm housed approximately 30 undergraduate upperclassmen chosen by Cornell's Dean of Men and the Director of Financial Aid. From that time onward new residents were chosen by house members themselves. Two members were compensated for their services: the Steward, in charge of menus and food purchases, and the House Manager (overall management of the building). Members shared house upkeep and food preparation duties. During the 1970s the house became a self-governing co-operative open also to women.[5] Von Cramm attracts many international students and is unofficially seen as the "international cooperative".[citation needed]
