 TIME.com: The Cornelians -- Sep. 9, 1946 -- Page 1
The movement's name: the Cornelian Corner, from 1) Cornelia, Roman mother of the Gracchi, who called her sons her "jewels," and 2) the time-honored maternal practice of turning toward a corner, away from the family, when nursing a baby.
Cornelians hold that the almost universal hospital practice of separating a baby from its mother at birth is a crime against nature, leading to emotional maladjustment of the child.
Cornelians blame the trend on what they regard as such erroneous modern notions as: 1) breast feeding ruins a woman's figure; 2) coddling spoils a baby; 3) an infant should be trained early to accept a rigid schedule.

 Re: "Etched" carnelian bead photo
The word refers to the fruit of a member of the dogwood family of trees, that's called a "cornelian cherry," and looks very much like a red cherry—being a brilliant orange-red tone.
(I've seen these in real life, after looking for quite a few years.) In spite of the implication of the name, by association, the word "cornelian" is more than just a color or color-range, ands refers to a group of quartz-family minerals—most of which are chalcedony, but also includes agate and even jasp-agate.
In the detail of a necklace posted here, the top left spheroidal bead, and the right spheroidal bead closest to the bow-shaped central bead are both so dense as to be "visually opaque." Others, throughout the necklace, are much more tranlucent and pass light easily.

 Johnston's Private Life of the Romans, Ch. 2
From the fact that in the official name (§§ 38-39) the cognōmen followed the name of the tribe, it is generally believed that the oldest of the cognōmina did not go back beyond the time of the division of the people into tribes.
The great families of the Marii, Mummii, and Sertorii had none, although the plebeian branches of the Cornelian gēns (§ 48), the Tullian gēns, and others, did.
The cognōmen came, therefore, to be prized as an indication of ancient lineage, and individuals whose nobility was new were anxious to acquire one to transmit to their children.
