Senate candidate and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton will address the Cornell community tomorrow on the ag quad. The rally, featuring actor Ben Affleck and musical group Nine Days, is set to begin Saturday at 9:45 a.m. Free and open to the public, the event will proceed rain or shine. “This rally is sure to be the biggest event of the year at Cornell,” said Josh Roth ’03, publicity director for the Cornell Democrats. “We are expecting thousands of people to fill the ag quad in support of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s candidacy.” The Cornell Democrats are sponsoring the visit, which is Clinton’s fifth to the University. Clinton will proceed from Ithaca on a bus tour that concludes Monday in Albany. The campaign will then wind down toward Election Day on Nov. 7, the conclusion of Clinton and U.S. Rep. Rick Lazio’s (NY-2nd) race to succeed Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan in the U.S. Senate.Archived article by Matthew Hirsch
Reception Inaugurates New Mann Wing

By ryan October 27, 2000

Administrators, staff, architects and benefactors gathered yesterday at Mann Library to inaugurate the building’s new addition and to celebrate the successful conclusion of the library’s endowment campaign. The campaign raised over $4 million for preservation, acquisitions and innovation. Steven Ashley ’62, committee chair of the campaign, spoke at the lunch, describing the library as a place where “ideas take place and new knowledge is created.” During the campaign, Ashley had warned potential donors that those who do not contribute might “find themselves naked and starving on a polluted planet,” since Mann is the library for the College of Human Ecology and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Sarah Thomas, a Carl A. Kroch University Librarian, described the “vast organization” of the University library system, noting that Cornell libraries have over 500 staff members and 600 students that work to make “personalized service a hallmark of the operation.” Nicole Neroulias ’01 offered a student’s perspective on the importance of Mann. “I have so many fond memories of working in the computer lab,” she said, recalling shifts spent “bending paperclips to retrieve disks that patrons got stuck in drives. University President Hunter R. Rawlings III concluded the lunch by thanking the benefactors and cutting a ribbon through a model of the “Old Mann Library” doorway, which was then turned around to represent the new library’s doorway. Following the lunch, guests were taken on tours through the new addition where staff showcased many of Mann’s new features. The addition, designed by Edward Larabee Barnes, is commonly known by staff members as a four story “high-tech treehouse” because of the spectacular views of the woods through picture windows. The new building also offers more than 38 miles of fiber optic networking, comfortable study areas, spacious stacks and climate control. Janet McCue, director of Mann Library, described the celebration as a “wonderful assemblage of guests, architects, deans, staff and benefactors” adding that it was an “odyssey to get where we are and it took all these people to achieve this success.”Archived article by Maria Rosso
