On 5/3/2000, the first geocache (at that time it was called a "GPS stash") was hidden. Who could have ever predicted how the game has developed and grown? It's definitely worth celebrating the 15th anniversary of this memorable occasion.
Many Ithacans have been celebrating another big anniversary this week ... an order of magnitude bigger, in fact. On April 27, 1865, New York State Governor Reuben E. Fenton, in his chambers in the old State Capitol in Albany, signed the bill that constitutes the charter of Cornell University. Here are some interesting facts about the last 150 years at Cornell:
At one point, a Cornell collection held 600 brains, maybe up to 1,200.
In a dark moment of Cornell's history, typhoid fever claimed 82 lives in 1903, 29 of which were Cornell University students.
The Land Grant Act, put forward by Vermont Senator Justin Morrill and signed into law by Abraham Lincoln, was critical in the formation of many universities in the post-Civil War era, including Cornell.
Cornell University was open about its support of racial and ethnic diversity. The first president said, "I believe myself justified in stating that the authorities of the University would hold under the organic law of the institution we have no right to reject any man on account of race."
Between World War II and the Vietnam War, the university owned the Cornell Aeronautical Library in Buffalo. CAL contributed greatly to aerospace and automobile research, creating the first crash test dummy in 1948, the seat belt in 1951, and even the Federal Bureau of Investigation's fingerprint reading system in 1972.
The Cornell Chimes, housed in the McGraw Tower, first rang during the university's opening ceremonies in 1868. Originally nine bells, there are now 21 bells that are played by "chimesmasters." With daily concerts, the Cornell Chimes are one of the largest and most frequently played set of chimes in the world.>
