It was Jostens’ mistake.

We had a boat show up labeled “Harvad and Radcliffe.”
They haven’t reprinted it, to my knowledge.

I tole all ya shits I’d getcha 4 throwin them waterbottles up on da stage.

haha T.I. wanted to kill us… btw jostens was the one mess up on the year book and they are reprinting them.

It was not Jostens fault! They don’t type the stuff…the staff does. Jostens just receives the files and clicks “print”

I knew Cornell was the worst Ivy, but give me a break! Horse apples I say!!!

The PennBand got Trombone slide covers made up that said “Pennsilvania” on them.

I had to send back my graduation announcements last spring because Jostens wanted me to invite me to invite people to my “gaduation.”

Good work. Always the ugly, unwanted child of the league!

Everyone makes mistakes; and, in this case, Jostens might well be at fault. You send files for internal pages; but, covers are sometimes special arrangement deals.
Oh, and Quaker: Your crassly worded expression of superiority was neither classy nor very becoming. Let’s work on that, shall we?

Oh, Cornell, you’re not doing yourself any favors in your never-ending quest to legitimize your place in the Ivy League with this one. poor red-headed stepchild — let’s beat him!

That last comment hurt the most.

I didn’know Cornell. Who is he?
May 11th, 2007 at 3:00 pm
He’s Zonker’s medicinal marijuana growing friend in Doonesbury. Been in jail for more than a few years now.

This made me feel so much better! We just recieved our yearbooks at the Academy of Irving ISD…ours reads the Acdemy of Irving ISD. It’s an easy mistake to make using Indesign and reading the print sideways. Thanks for making me feel better, Cornell!!!

Judging from the comments here, my peers at the other seven Ivies clearly are much classier and more intelligent than us “bumpkins” at Cornell. God forbid our yearbook has a misprint caused by *the company Josten’s* and not the yearbook staff.
The snobbish elitism displayed here is why Ivy League grads are generally despised outside of large cities in the Northeast. We are the largest Ivy League school with 7 colleges. This means we are going to have larger class sizes, and need to accept more students to keep programs afloat. When faced with cutting a major because of lack of students or lowering admissions standards, Cornell chooses to keep its diverse programs intact. Cornell is committed to offering programs in everything from architecture to engineering, labor studies to film, pre-med to fine arts.
Having a large student body studying a breadth of curricula does not make us the “worst Ivy.” Nor does receiving partial funding from NYS as a land grant school (we are not a public university, several of the majors and research programs merely receive grants from New York to supplement scholarly work).
Get over yourselves, Ivy League. Try to act like humans instead of stuck-up, pretentious pricks.

since when did stanford become an ivy league and had the right to make smart ass comments against the ivies?
stanford, pride yourself on NOT being an ivy.

I chose Cornell over Yale and Dartmouth, then went on to law school at Harvard and Columbia. When I was a student (1970’s) there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that Penn was the Ivy doormat, with Brown a close second. These things come and go. I’d suggest everyone ease up on the internecine warfare. There are more similarities than differences betweeen the schools. I think Cornell has particular strengths that make it the most classically American university and it’s where I want my children to go, but if they end up preferring Princeton or even Brown, I wouldn’t stop them.

i was designing the sun the night we ran that, i made the background of the image match the yellow box, just wanted to let the world know :)

Lets be real, if any school doesnt belong in the Ivies its brown. And Stanford, you were never asked to join, so maybe you shouldn’t even be posting on this website.
May 12th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
Stanford – you guys were founded by a Cornell alum, so butt out! Not your discussion.
Besides, we all know that Brown is the doormat of the league. And nice try Penn – you guys don’t even qualify as the doormat – the rest of us forget you even belong to the league when naming the other schools half the time. In my mind, you’ll always be the state school of Pennsylvania.
