Maybe we can get their parents to move.

My mother brainwashed me. She wanted her children to "go away to college" which made RIP a completely unacceptable choice for engineering.  Can you imagine four glorious college years in Troy?

We're so lucky that Andy Iles fell in love with Lynah and Cornell hockey.::banana::::cheer::::cheer::::banana::

It probably didn't hurt that Iles went away to prep school and then was in Ann Arbor with the USNDTP; had he spent four years at IHS, I'm speculating that the temptation to go elsewhere would have been pretty strong.

Maybe... but my son graduated from IHS last year, and several of his friends from high school did wind up going to Cornell.  It probably didn't hurt that most, if not all, of them had at least one parent who was Cornell faculty or staff.

(No, my son didn't go to Cornell.  He chose to "go away to college" -- all the way over on the other hill, at IC)
If you lead a good life, go to Sunday school and church, and say your prayers every night, when you die, you'll go to LYNAH!

I have a few friends who grew up in Ithaca and went to Cornell. A couple of them even used to post here, though I'm not sure if they're now lurkers or just infrequent visitors.

I'd be interested to know how the reduced tuition benefit for CU employees has affected the number of IHS graduates who enroll. There were easily 30 or 40 from my IHS class who went to Cornell, but it's a much easier decision to make when you'll be going tuition-free. My dad worked at Cornell pre-1982, so I have some grad school tuition benefits for as long as *I* live.

My June 1968 "Tattler" (the IHS "newspaper") reported 40 of the seniors surveyed said they planned to attend Cornell, including Larry '72 and myself.  The survey response was 93%.
