Sunday Movie Outing - Ezra Cornell and the Founding of Cornell University

What do you know about Ezra Cornell and the university he founded? How did he come by his wealth? Why did he decide to start a university? Why was this university unique from all those American universities before and how did it change higher education in the U.S.? Why are these words so special: "I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study." Do YOU know your Cornell history?

Continuing with our history theme this year (following on from dinner at the Singapore History Museum, history of Buddhism tour via the Nalanda Trail exhibit at the Asian Civilisation Museum), we invite you to join us for a fun, easy-going Sunday afternoon movie, hanging out with your Cornell buddies and friends who just want to see a good film, on the history of the founding of Cornell University. An Emmy-award winning fascinating programme 1 hour in length, with quiz (of course there's a test afterwards - we're an academic institution! ) and prizes at the end! Cornell's history department is one of the best in the U.S. - make sure you know your history of Cornell!

Date:	Sunday, 21 September 2008
Time:	3:30pm
Venue:	TBD (Possibly The Arts House)

Free to Prospective Students and their Parents. This is a good opportunity to learn more about the school and speak to Cornell alumni in Singapore!

RSVP to Susan (rstscw at yahoo.com.sg)
