Who’s our biggest embarrassment?

Just curious on everyone's thoughts. Doesn't need to be political. Every institution has someone that they wish wasn't associated with their Alma mater.

As much as I might like to say Ann Coulter, this guy has to be #1

Holy shit. I was unaware of him.

He was big news in my area since one of his victims was from my hometown of Middletown.

All excellent selections but Adolph Jr., Grover, and Herman Coors all deserve consideration.  Paul Wolfowitz is a notable POS, too.

I had somehow got it into my head that John Yoo's classmates failed to throw him into the gorge as an undegrad, but, happily, he is not our fault.  Harvard sucks.

I was on campus at the same time as he was.  Never knew of him.

Bill Maher, even compared to this guy.

I like Coulter, Olberbite and Maher to spread the misery among the various religions.  They remind me of sophomore year except that with a 2.6 to 1 ratio I can count the number of BS sessions I remember with Cornell women only in imaginary numbers.

Just out of curiosity, when was the ratio at Cornell 2.6 to 1? A quick Google search didn't list year-by-year stats. I thought that Cornell was close to 1 to 1 even when I was at RPI especially since Cornell was the only Ivy at the time which was coed. Or are you referring to specific majors?

BTW, when I was a freshman at RPI in 1964-65, there were 23 women in a class of slightly over 1000, and 23 was more than the other three classes there combined. It rapidly increased while I remained at RPI, but  is still about 2/3 male.

As a sporting tangential board, Dave Bliss '65 at least deserves a mention -- no?

Was unaware of him as well. Just looked him up amd read a couple articles. I also see he's a member of our hall of fame.

In a collision of this thread and "Cornell in the Movies", I recently saw The Informant!, which tells the story of Mark Whitacre, PhD '93.

In the environmental situation, how about Thomas Midgley Jr.1911, inventor of both Freon and leaded gasoline.

Just read his wiki. He might be up there with the serial killer. A movie about him is in the works.
