Re: Ann Bowers Hall > goodbye Hoy Field? - 3 years ago
Is this the building that does in Hoy Field? Another CIS building housing the new Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science. You might expect the new building to be close to Gates Hall.. Assuming that they don't tear down anything to make space, there aren't many options. The announcement of the new Atkinson Center makes its location clear, but I don't see a hint inby David Harding - Other Sports

Re: Ken Dryden's suggestion for making hockey better - 3 years ago
dbilmes Schafer might disagree, but Ken Dryden has an interesting take on making hockey a more wide-open game. ...said the thieving giraffe. But I actually agree with him. Dryden's size gave him an edge, but without his quickness he would've gone nowhere. I would be nervous about hitting a cooling line if I drilled new holes in the concrete under the ice to anchor the wider net. Engineers gby David Harding - Hockey

billhoward CAS The Washington Post had a recent story that Cornell received 17,000 more applications than the year before, up about a third from the prior year. So Argula, congrats again your daughter was admitted in an incredibly competitive year (69,000 total applications, maybe an 8% admit rate).

Ken711 Athletes at Ivy League schools can’t redshirt. They have eight semesters on campus and eight semesters to be eligible. With that in mind, 10 of Jones’s players at Yale opted out this fall — not just of the season, but of school — with hopes of returning when things return to normal. They’re working at internships and trying to better themselves.by David Harding - Other Sports
