President Jonathan Brand was in Cornell news this week. Cornell University news, that is.
As both the president of Cornell College and an alum of the Cornell University law program, Cornell University featured Brand in an article about his connection to both schools in their alumni news.
If there’s one thing Brand wanted his fellow alums to know in the article, it’s this: their Midwestern colleague had the name first. The article points out similarities and differences between the two institutions.
“The University is fondly known as ‘the Hill,’ the college as ‘the Hilltop.’ The Big Red has Touchdown the Bear; the college has a ram named Ulysses.”
The author brought a good dose of humor to the article, pointing out our “We’re Not in Ithaca” webpage and instances of incorrectly labeled mail.
Professor of History Phil Lucas, who received his doctoral degree from Cornell University in 1983, was also mentioned in the article.
