Thomas Frederick Crane (1844-1927) was an American folklorist, academic and lawyer. He studied law at Princeton, earned his undergraduate degree in 1864, and in 1867 graduated with an A. M. After graduation, he studied law at Columbia Law School but moved to Ithaca when a relative there became ill. He was admitted to the bar, worked as a lawyer in the community and as a librarian for new founded Cornell University. He went on to become a student of languages, and was offered a faculty position by President A. D. White and taught French, Italian, Spanish, and medieval literature. He was among the founders of the Journal of American Folklore. He also served as the first Dean of the Arts College. He is particularly noted for his collection Italian Popular Tales (1885). Many of its tales were published in the popular children's magazine St. Nicholas Magazine.
