The Sun ventured to the Agriculture Quad to try out student-developed ice cream flavors Brewing CommuniTea, Coming Out of Your Shell and Toni S’Morrison.
Cornell Dairy will debut its limited-edition flavor “Cosmos Swirl,” a chocolate-based flavor with marshmallow swirl and white chocolate chips, in honor of the Johnson Museum’s 50th anniversary.
In the early 20th century, 3,500 gallons of milk, which was purchased from local farmers, would be ready for packaging each day. At the Cornell Dairy Bar of 1928, customers had two flavor options: white, with no added flavor, or a chocolate mix.
The Dairy Bar has a tradition of dedicating ice cream flavors to important figures, such as University presidents, college deans and special guests. Cornell’s current president Martha E. Pollack is just the most recent continuation of this unique custom: Her “Bits and Bytes” flavor gets its tongue-in-cheek name from her artificial intelligence research.
Now, 22 years later, as an homage to this piece of Cornell lore, the Cornell Dairy Bar has brought back their seasonal fall flavor: Clocktower Pumpkin; a pumpkin-based ice cream with cinnamon and nutmeg seasoning. It’s like pumpkin pie without the crust. Available at the Dairy Bar, it’s the bright orange flavor; you can’t miss it.
With Cornell’s own dairy bar known for its ice cream nationwide — and Wegmans’ status as a late-night student haunt — The Sun asked local industry experts to weigh in on the vanilla controversy.
Former Vice President Joe Biden told thousands of Cornell graduating seniors and their families that Cornell is “one of the great, great universities in the world” and implored graduates to “wake up,” be tolerant and make their mark on the world.
Cornell Dairy is working to to name an ice cream flavor after former Vice President Joe Biden, who will speak at this year’s convocation on May 27.
“What I do is support the number one agricultural industry in New York state [Cornell Dairy],” Ralyea said. “I try to keep New York state on the map with dairy. I’d like to have New York kick Wisconsin’s ass in cheese production.”
Thousands of Cornellians gathered on the Ag Quad for a picnic following President Elizabeth Garrett’s inauguration on Friday to celebrate their new leader in a festive setting. The Big Red Marching Band lead the procession of students, faculty, alumni and local residents to the Ag Quad after the completion of the inauguration ceremony on the Arts Quad. There, attendees enjoyed box lunches containing a chicken or portabella mushroom wrap, cole slaw, chips and an apple and lounged on checkered blankets and hay bales, according to a University press release. The dairy bar’s new ice cream flavor in honor of Cornell’s 13th president — 24 Garrett Swirl — also debuted at the community picnic. The ice cream combines hints of chocolate, caramel and mocha with fudge truffles, and was inspired by some of Garrett’s favorite flavors, according to the University.
