International Spirit of Zinck's Night in Los Angeles, CA

International Spirit of Zinck's Night
Join us for a fun evening as we celebrate this special Cornell tradition!
We may be thousands of miles from Cornell, but on Thursday, October 17th, you can feel just steps away from the hill by attending this year's International Spirit of Zinck's Night! Join us for this great tradition where the entire Cornell Community comes together to toast our alma mater!  Last year, Cornell alumni organized 91 celebrations around the world and we look forward to seeing what this year brings. As usual, friends and family of Cornellians are welcome to join us. We hope to see you there!
So what's the story behind this annual celebration?
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 "Zinck's" closed in the mid-60s, celebrating the spirit of Zinck's became a favorite Thursday night Collegetown tradition of undergraduates. It wasn't long afterward that Cornellians continued the tradition in their hometowns.
