The Sun sat down with Rosemary Todd ’31 and her daughter, Sally Solmssen, to talk about the changing face of the campus, the origins of Human Ecology and the lost joy of reading Virgil.

Prompted by heavy flow of Cornell pride streaming out of AMST 2001: First American University, Ezra and A.D.  once again ascended to East Hill this week.  Luckily, this Sun reporter had his seance kit on hand, and was able to snag a brief interview on the upcoming S.A. elections, Nelly, Buffalo Street Books and much, much more.
