My D graduated on Sunday. Totally impressed with the whole weekend (and 4 years she spent there). Even the grad students (2,000 reveived Masters or PHDs) were obviously proud to be “Cornellians”. 6,000 grads arms locked, swaying back & forth singing the alma mater was a touching sight. They appeared to have “school pride”, rather than “school spirit”. It was hard as heck, but as my D put it; “thank you Cornell for tearing me down & building me back up to be stronger than before”.
