Von Cramm Hall is a student operated house on the West Campus of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York State.

The house was founded in 1956 by Thomas Byron Gilchrist (Cornell class of 1906) from the American assets of Elizabeth von Elverfeldt (née Notman) to form a memorial house at the university in memory of her son Friedrich Sigismund von Cramm.

Cramm was a lieutenant in the 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.
