    The School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR) at Cornell University was established in 1944 (first students admitted 1945) as the world's first school for college-level study in industrial and labor relations. Along with Penn State, ILR offers one of only two four-year undergraduate programs in industrial and labor relations in the United States. It is a New York contract college. The School is served by the Martin P. Catherwood Library.
