As contractor explore the damage to King Chapel following the derecho, they found a handful of 60-year old tickets under the flooring and behind the east wall! The tickets are to see The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during his visit to campus in 1962.

We’d like to set the record straight: We got here first. Cornell College was founded in 1853, 15 years before the similarly named university opened in 1868. How else do we compare? Let us count the ways. #cornellcollege #cornellreport
