Cornell University

"I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study."

Founded in 1865 by Ezra Cornell, now a member of the elite group of schools known as the Ivy League. Regarded to be the easiest to get into (due to the state colleges that are branches of the university) but the hardest to stay in. In one article, it was mentioned as "the only campus where you walk up a 45 degree incline in 45 degree weather to get a 45% on a test."

Far above Cayuga's waters...
Hail, all Hail Cornell

Cornell University

The home of an elite group of scholars at whom Harvard students laugh from ages 18-22, and work for until retirement.

Assistant: "Hey boss, didn't you go to Cornell University?"

CEO: "Yes, get me a coffee."

Cordell Effect

When a really smart student tutors a portion of the class and raises the exam average such that the mean grade shifts, making it more difficult for the rest of the class to get ahead of the curve.

Cordell helped eight of his friends understand difficult concepts and get high grades on exams, making the test average significantly higher than the previous year, resulting in the Cordell Effect.

Chris Cornell

One of the greatest lead vocalist who has a very unique voice filled with soul and intensity. He rocked in Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden and now Audioslave. And he is sinfully hot!

You can hear the passion in Chris Cornell's voice when he belts out the lyrics to "The Day I Tried to Live."

Cornell

1. an elite Ivy League college often scorned by the other Ivies for having an "easy" admission rate, a fallacy that many people tend to buy. At 11% (2019-20), Cornell's admission rate is, in reality, one of the most selective schools in the United States and in the English-speaking world. By comparison, the admission rates of the most prestigious UK schools such as Cambridge and Oxford are at 15-20%.

2. The only Ivy that doesn't issue a diploma inscribed in Latin. Until this day schools with a long historical standing like Harvard, Dartmouth, Yale, Brown, Penn, Princeton and Columbia still issue fancy Latin diplomas. Whereas younger colleges like UChicago, Stanford and MIT founded since the late 19th century only issue modern English diplomas.

3. One of the most comprehensive universities. Like Harvard and Penn, Cornell has all the major schools including Law School, Business School, Medical School, School of Engineering, School of Design, and the College of Arts and Sciences

Cornell Goggles

The way men rate women at Cornell University, usually in the Binary Scale either being a 1 (you will do her), or a 0 (you will not do her) in comparison to the 1-10 scale found anywhere else in the world.

Beer Goggles inhibited by a place, not a beverage.

Guy 1: "hey man check out the hottie who just walked out of Goldwin Smith"
Guy 2: "are you serious? she's a 0 take off your cornell goggles"
Guy 1: "i've been here so long, i'd do her"
Guy 2: "i probably would too"
