McFaddin Hall will not be included in the Fall Housing Selection Process for the 2026-2027 academic year due to upcoming construction on the building, according to a statement sent to The Sun from Cornell Housing and Residential Life.
Cornell does not have peers. It is unique. While Cornell shares some similarities with other institutions of learning, its founding principles are different. Cornell’s motto is not catchy or mimicking a social media tweet. It is a simple and unpretentious statement: “I would found an institution where any person can find any study.” The words by Ezra Cornell were not uttered in Latin to create a hollow sense of mystique precisely because the majority of Americans would not understand him. The sentence is in English, the language of the people. The words are not immediately riveting unless we pause and think about them. After careful consideration, the historical significance resonates in our minds as we recall the Civil War in a “house divided” and the struggle of Indigenous peoples and African Americans for basic freedoms and human rights.
When I began teaching at Cornell last year, one of the first things I learned surprised me: Many of my students initially found office hours intimidating. Some admitted they thought office hours were only for those struggling in class; others believed this weekly time was reserved for “exceptional” students aiming to impress. If you’re managing just fine (or fine enough), the assumption commonly goes, there’s no reason to show up.
My name is Leo Glasgow. I was raised by a single immigrant mom in a one bedroom apartment in Queens, New York. I’m my father’s tenth child. I have the unique opportunity to speak about Black issues without people getting needlessly offended.
Just before World War I, two music students meet in a bar. Both lovers of folk music, though studying at a classical conservatory, they fall in love almost immediately. After the war, the two men travel to Maine together on a trip to capture and record the folk songs of the area, ensuring that the music and stories often forgotten are given a place in history. Years later, one of the men travels the world, attempting to recreate the happiness he only felt on that trip. The plot of The History of Sound, written by the author of the original short story collection, Ben Shattuck, and directed by Oliver Hermanus, is relatively simple. It’s slow-paced and deliberate, using much of its runtime to portray small moments in the life of Lionel Worthing (Paul Mescal), the protagonist and memories of his time with David White (Josh O’Connor). Despite this, The History of Sound is never boring, and in fact tells a story that has left me reflecting on the connection between music and memory days after.
Although not all the trees have dropped their leaves, the first whiffs of fall are in the air. For me, this signals it is time to cozy up with a good book and escape into the adventures of the literary world.
It has been just under a month since classes began, yet the trust between Cornell’s students and its president has already frayed. Each week has brought another revelation from surveillance controversies to procedural maneuvers that weaken shared governance. I am not calling for Kotlikoff’s resignation. What I offer instead is advice on how he might begin to repair the damage.

Fall can be gorgeous — leaves turning, local coffee shops dusting off pumpkin spice syrup bottles, Target putting plastic jack-o’-lanterns on display earlier and earlier with every passing year. It can also be liminal. It’s in the feeling of a sudden gust of slightly chillier breeze against the skin, in the sun going down just a minute before it did yesterday and in the strange, vacuous sadness of the in-between.
From snorkeling off the coast of New Zealand to sharing tapas in Seville to biking through Bologna, Cornell students are finding that studying abroad offers more than just credits — it offers perspective.
Around 20 local officials, educators, students and activists shared their thoughts on what reparations for those of African descent should look like in New York at Thursday’s New York State Community Commission on Reparations Remedies public hearing.
Sometimes, lessons are more important than results. The Red embodied this philosophy this past weekend when it traveled to Houston to participate in the Rice Invitational II, along with the host Rice University, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Texas Christian University.
Women’s soccer entered Ivy League play on Sunday looking to carry momentum from a strong nonconference stretch. An early goal seemed to put the Red on track for the perfect start, but two late corner-kick strikes from Columbia flipped the script and handed Cornell a narrow loss in a game they had largely controlled for more than 50 minutes.
The tumultuous, romantic and, ultimately, short-lived relationship between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham has been a subject of fascination since Fleetwood Mac’s rise to stardom in the 1970s. From meeting at a youth club in the late ’60s to dropping out of college together to eventually fronting one of the most influential rock bands of the ’70s, Nicks and Buckingham’s story could have been pulled straight out of a teen movie. When the pair moved to Los Angeles in late 1972, they seemed almost fated for success. “They were Mr. and Mrs. Intense,” wrote Stephen Davis in his biography of Stevie Nicks, “he in his curly locks and icy blue eyes and she in her long straight hair and her piercing gaze when you talked to her.”
Emily Brontë published her masterpiece, Wuthering Heights, in 1847. Her novel is a haunting piece of literature, a psychological exploration of passionate and, for the time, unusual characters. It was gothic, it was complex and it was classic. Today, Wuthering Heights is read in high schools, universities and in the comfort of homes, regarded as one of the best books in history. It was Emily Brontë’s first and last novel. One year after its publication, she died from tuberculosis. And, in a way, I am glad she never lived to see the trailer for Warner Bros. Pictures’ adaptation of her beloved work.
After starting the season with three away games in 10 days, the Red stayed at home for the second leg of a three-game homestand.
