  • Within One University
    “Any Person ... Any Study” within One University Comprehensive Self‐Study Report submitted to the Middle States Commission on Higher Education February 9, 2011 Executive Summary “Any Person … Any Study” within One University Self-Study for the Middle States Commission on Higher Education Submitted by Cornell University February 9, 2011 This comprehensive self‐study of Cornell University, undertaken a decade after the previous Middle States accreditation, takes as its theme the productive tension between Cornell’s historical (and still cherished) goals of accessibility and breadth and its need to function with unity, focus, and efficiency. As we measure the university by the commission’s standards, we find several essential facts or major developments of recent years to be especially relevant: Cornell’s thorough and focused 2010 Strategic Plan; the longstanding decentralization of academic and various other responsibilities; Cornell’s character as the land grant university of New York State; the university’s responses to the national economic downturn, including immediate measures as well as bold changes to create long‐term savings in administrative costs; the approaching retirement of a large proportion of the faculty and Cornell’s proactive response; the commitment to need‐blind admissions and need‐based financial aid; Executive Summary i ongoing efforts to improve our students’ living‐learning experience and to continue or establish means of assessing the quality of student learning. We introduce Cornell in our first chapter, outlining fundamental facts about the university and its individual colleges, describing transformational initiatives of the past decade, and explaining the external context that led to “Reimagining Cornell,” a comprehensive self‐ examination culminating in the 2010 Strategic Plan.

  • 130 7.0 Services and Facilities
    7.0 SERVICES AND FACILITIES NOTE: In many cases, policies governing the Joan and Sanford I. Weill Medical College and Graduate School of Medical Sciences of Cornell University differ from policies governing Cornell’s Ithaca campus. Faculty at the Medical College and Graduate School of Medical Sciences should consult with the Office of the Provost for Medical Affairs for the relevant policies. Some of the many services and facilities that are available to faculty and staff members are briefly described below. A more complete listing of units, addresses, and telephone numbers is given in the Cornell University Staff Directory. Academic Regalia Academic gowns may be borrowed from the Commencement Office prior to commencement. Information is emailed in April about reserving regalia, which is distributed during the three days before the ceremony. Refer to www.commencement.cornell.edu/May/faculty for more details. Arrangements to purchase academic regalia may be made through the Commencement Office’s website as well. Alumni Affairs and Development The Division of Alumni Affairs and Development actively encourages Cornell alumni, parents, and friends to participate in the life of the university and to assist Cornell through their volunteer services and their gifts. Their time, loyalty, and intellectual and financial resources enhance Cornell’s vitality and are critical to the achievement of Cornell’s mission to educate the leaders of tomorrow and extend the frontiers of knowledge. Cornell alumni frequently return to campus to recruit employees, to consult with faculty, to participate in professional programs sponsored by departments and colleges, and to attend three large university events: Reunion in June, Homecoming in September or October, and the annual meeting of the Cornell University Council and the Board of Trustees in October.

  • More Affordable 18 - West Campus Experience 20 - Investing in Scholars 22 - Student-Athlete Standouts from the Publisher
    Cornell’s quarterly magazine FALL 2008 Making the ivy League More affordabLe 18 - West CaMpus experienCe 20 - investing in sChoLars 22 - student-athLete standouts FROM THE PUBLISHER Welcome to the debut issue of Ezra, the new quarterly magazine of the Cornell Chronicle, produced by the Division of University Communications in collaboration with the Division of Alumni Affairs & Development (AA&D). This exciting new publication seeks to become, for starters, a must-read for alumni, faculty, staff and students around the world. Ultimately, we aim to attract readers beyond the Cornell community. Ezra magazine – so named to capture at once the enduring vision and the informality that is Cornell – like traditional news magazines, will have a cover story and wide-ranging sections, reporting on research and scholarship, much of it interdisciplinary; on outreach that brings applied research and Cornell resources to people around the globe and solves real-world challenges; on the arts and humanities; and on Big Red athletics. And, each issue will carry campaign updates and features that show not only what it takes but also who it takes to be a successful university in the 21st century. In time, we will attract to our pages many of the opinions, thoughts and arguments that make Cornell University such a special place. The magazine is available online at http://ezramagazine.cornell.edu, a site that will continue to develop over time as multimedia and additional content are added. We welcome your feedback. Ezra is the culmination of a long journey that has brought together two great teams responsible for publishing Communiqué, which was launched by AA&D in 1978, and Cornell Chronicle Magazine, which premiered in January 2006.

    A Brother’s Story Julian Cleveland Smith Jr. Class of 1941 March 10, 1919 – August 30, 2015 edited by Thomas M. Reilly ’07 EDITOR’S NOTE Alpha Delta Phi has recently been reunited with the long-lost legacy of another one of our remarkable alumni, Julian Cleveland Smith Jr., class of 1941. Brother Smith (or Julie, as he was known as an undergrad) was a Canadian-American who studied chemical engineering at Cornell in the late 1930s. During World War II, he worked on the Manhattan Project for a time before returning to Cornell in 1946, where he spent the rest of his career and long life. Beginning as an assistant professor, Brother Smith ultimately became the director of the School of Chemical Engineering from 1975–1983. He retired in 1986 and lived the rest of his life in Ithaca with his family. He passed away in 2015 at the age of 96. While he does not seem to have kept in regular contact with the fraternity after graduating, the memoirs that he wrote of his time at Alpha Delta Phi are a testament to a formative experience own words and remembrances of life at 777 Stewart Avenue on the eve of the Second World War. — Thomas M.

  • Collegiate Secret Societies in North America 1 Collegiate Secret Societies in North America
    Collegiate secret societies in North America 1 Collegiate secret societies in North America There are many collegiate secret societies in North America. They vary greatly in their levels of secrecy and independence from their universities. As the term is used in this article, a secret society is a collegiate society where significant effort is made to keep affairs, membership rolls, signs of recognition, initiation, or other aspects secret from the public. Some collegiate secret societies are referred to as 'class societies', which restrict membership to one class year. Most class societies are restricted to the senior class, and are therefore also called senior societies on many campuses. Categorization There is no strict rule on the categorization of secret societies. Secret societies can have ceremonial initiations, secret signs of recognition (gestures, handshakes, passwords), formal secrets, (the 'true' name of the society, a motto, or a society history); but, college fraternities or "social fraternities" have the same, and some of these elements can also be a part of literary societies, singing groups, editorial boards, and honorary and pre-professional groups. Some secret societies have kept their membership secret, for example Seven Society and Gridiron, and some have not, like Skull and Bones (the Yale societies had published their membership lists in the yearbooks and the Yale Daily News). One key concept in distinguishing secret societies from fraternities is that, on campuses that have both kind of organizations, one can be a member of both, (that is, membership is not mutually exclusive). Usually, being a member of more than one fraternity is not considered appropriate, because that member would have divided loyalties; however, typically, there is not an issue being a member of a secret society and a fraternity, because they are not considered similar organizations or competing organizations.[1] An especially difficult problem is the degree to which any one society is an actual society or is simply an honorary designation.
