Theodore Zinck was a saloonkeeper in Ithaca and his pub, the Hotel Brunswick, was a popular gathering place for Cornellians in the 1890s. After his death in 1903, several bars using his name continued to provide a haven for students. When the last Â"ZinckÂ'sÂ" closed in the mid-60s, celebrating the spirit of ZinckÂ's became a favorite Thursday night Collegetown tradition of undergraduates. It wasn't long afterwards that Cornellians continued the tradition in their hometowns. Every year on a Thursday in October, the entire Cornell Community observes the International Spirit of Zinck's Night in over 100 cities around the world. Last year, Cornell alumni organized 104 celebrations: 92 in the U.S. and 12 internationally.
