Over 500 Cornellians came together on Saturday to partake in Holi festival on the Engineering Quad.
Cornellians crave order. Our campus teems with neurotic overachievers who meticulously plan their days, their semesters and their careers. But Cornell, an inherently disorderly institution, often leaves these order-seekers wanting. Cornell’s disorganization might be most evident in its campus landscape; to the chagrin of many, the buildings that form the East Hill skyline are a seemingly incoherent mishmash of architectural styles. But we should value Cornell’s architectural hodgepodge, as it reflects our identity as a “non-pretentious college,” (as historian Morris Bishop ’13, Ph.D. ’26 put it), and embodies the once-radical principles that have guided the university for more than 150 years.
A Cornell student presented symptoms that mirror the novel coronavirus strain — which has afflicted over 17,000 people internationally, Ryan Lombardi announced in an email. It is not confirmed that the student has coronavirus.
The large, black-and-white posters plastered onto several University buildings and a statue of Ezra Cornell promoted a society that Cornell’s president said appears to not exist.
