Hymn ! I heard differently :)Originally Posted by Dr_Tran
Cornell jumped in after Stanford withdrew its bid, definitely not due to financial reason. It was a front runner.
Anyway, I received email notifications from Stanford alumni about this whole bidding business and competition.
But, really, either Cornell or Stanford is fine in my opinion.
Well, Cornell has a big advantage, being already in NY, and all.
The $350M gift for Cornell played a crucial part in the Stanford withdrawal, according to NY Times.
"...Cornell’s fundraising edge was a factor in Stanford’s decision to withdraw its bid, The New York Times reported, citing anonymous sources..."
It's a healthy competition. Cornell has a geopolitical, financial advantage. Stanford is a little too far away.
On weekends, Cornell professors from Ithaca could go down to NYC to teach weekend courses, while Stanford professors could not.
It is not a loss for Stanford, it is just a huge gain for Cornell.
Anyway, please tune in at 2:30, see what they say.

Đây là 1 ngày lịch sử cho Cornell, và cho khối Ivies.
I'd like to, but I'm not a Cornellian ! :)
I just don't understand that Harvard, MIT, Princeton, and Yale have never expressed their interest in the New York Mayor's proposal, why Stanford, especially in regard to its geography ?
Stanford is already the largest, or second largest, university in the world in terms of the area of the land, with over 8000 acres. I really enjoyed the campus when I was a student there. Personally speaking, I wouldn't go for the New York campus on the Roosevelt island. Stanford president John Hennessy was interested in this proposal because, I guess, he originally came from New York and he wanted to take advantage of Mr Bloomberg's call to connect his Alma Matter and Stanford through this multi-party agreement.

Haha, that made sense. I lived in NY for several yrs, didn't know, or even hear of, Roosevelt Island. Hope it's not an abandoned corner somewhere.
Cornell is expanding fast. It built a huge medical campus in Qata a few yrs ago.
"Cornellians are inventing something new everyday".
So are many of the Stanford alumni except myself, I have not invented anything yet. Sad :(
So proud of my chief, he speaks so well, not even using or teleprompter.
In his former career, he was a neurologist.
Doctors make best leaders :)
You already got my endorsement for the presidential post of Dai Viet Dan Quoc but I'm not sure about the above phrase "Doctors make best leaders" ! :) It depends.
Hail Dr Tran. Amen ! :):):)
