Our 5oth Reunion is really on the calendar now!
Less than two months out and counting. It's definitely
time to get your group together, to locate that old
mate and say "Let's do it! It's only been 50
years."
We are going to have more than 500 back. There will be
sunshine, music, cheer; three days and three
not-to-be-forgotten nights, followed by a languorous
farewell brunch before the trunk lids start closing
on Sunday. In the meantime, all of us are
invited to renew the bonds at these pre-reunion
events:
Reunion Housing
We’re in the new Court Complex, just behind Balch.
Air conditioned singles and doubles with lavatories
for men, women and handicapped on each floor plus
elevators. For overflow or by request, we also
have access to newly renovated Town House suites
where two doubles share a lavatory. Remember our
45th. We will attempt to accommodate housing
requests. Preference will be given to Thursday
arrivals for a three night stay. These rooms may be
reserved after you have received your registration
packet in late March/early April.
Hotel Options
For those who prefer hotel accommodations Cornell and your
committee have reserved blocks of rooms. Please
