Re: Who’s our biggest embarrassment? - 9 days ago
ugarte Trotsky billhoward Ann Coulter has an older sister, also Cornellian, who is absolutely normal, nice, and also intelligent.There has always been a theory that Coulter is a cynical, nihilistic opportunist who found the Bottomless Knuck Trough and has been guzzling ever since, not believing a word of it. Not that that makes her any less scummy.She was one of the founders of the Cornell Revby George64 - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: Campus architecture - 9 days ago
As good a thread as any. An article in today’s NY Times prominently mentions the Johnson Museum of Art. In the section on the AGK Art Museum in Buffalo, there’s also a link to an earlier article about Milstein Hall.by George64 - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: Who’s our biggest embarrassment? - 15 days ago
A new low even for Ann Coulter - “Talk about weird …” Coulter posted on X alongside a link to an article about Gov. Tim Walz’s neurodivergent son, Gus, getting emotional during his father’s Wednesday speech in Chicago. From the NY Times - learned when Gus was an adolescent that he had “a nonverbal learning disorder in addition to an anxiety disorder and A.D.H.D., conditions that millions of Aby George64 - John Spencer Is Dead

Re: Cornell Football Recruits '29 - 23 days ago
George64 I wonder how recent demonstrations at Columbia, Penn and Hahvad will impact their yields? At Cornell, the egregiously offending student has pled guilty and the “exhilarated” faculty member took a leave of absence. Students who originally sought an urban university, might have second thoughts. As I speculated several months ago, maybe football players, along with other students, had sby George64 - Other Sports

Re: Kyle Dake and other dominant Cornell athletes - 23 days ago
Most of you are too young to have seen him play for Cornell, but Pete Gogolak ‘64 named to list of top 100 NY Giants players. An interesting aside, his younger brother Charlie, played for Princeton, and like Pete, he kicked low line drives. In an effort to block his field goal attempts, our then coach, Tom Harp, had two lighter players piggy-back on the shoulders of two tall defensive tacklesby George64 - Other Sports

Weder It just depends on how big a profit you want to make. Profits from ticket sales aren’t the only metric that should be considered. There are tons of alumni in the NY metropolitan that reconnect at MSG and it’s great exposure for Cornell. I have to think it factors into recruiting as well.by George64 - Hockey

The list of finalists out May 9 has Kavanagh but not Kirst. Have to think, almost getting shutout against Penn, really hurt.

Re: Wells College 1868-2024 - 4 months ago
In addition to proximity, there’s another connection between Wells College and Cornell. As the story goes, Ezra wanted Henry Wells (of Wells Fargo, and later American Express fame) to locate and endow his proposed women’s college at Cornell. Wells declined, as he wanted Wells to be a separate and distinct entity in his hometown of Aurora. Not deterred, Ezra and Andrew White then convinced Ithaby George64 - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: Cornell admissions - 4 months ago
George64 billhoward If Cornell is a safe backup alternative for a Columbia or Penn also-admitted candidate, Cornell might pick up some more students than it expects. Given recent events, I wonder if Columbia’s early decision admits will be able to get out of their commitments. From my vantage point 85 miles away, Cornell seems relatively tranquil.
