Products Classic Cornell Collective Book for Free Published March 26, 2026 The Cornell Class of the Century (1950) offers its class-produced, commemorative book, Curfews, Chaos and Champions for the cost of S&H only. This impressive book recounts the history of the Class of 1950 as told primarily by WWII veterans, whom, with the GI Bill, changed university education and campus life. How the Ivory Tower fell down. How the veterans expected professors to emphasize practical over theoretical and classical. How they were disinterested in protocols of attire, in fraternities, and in campus rituals such as fraternity, club and frosh hazing. How coeds were expected to major in home economics not in engineering or other male-dominated fields. And how they resisted silly rules of curfew and attire. And how the veterans promoted racial and ethnic acceptance, and social mobility within an expanded middle class. This large and colorful 193-page book is a collectible, coffee table book. The Class would like to keep the available copies out of a landfill and get them into the hands of interested readers. And thus offer free copies for only $12 postage and handling, or a box of ten copies for $80. Mail a request and personal check to Class of the Century, The Cornell Daily Sun, 139 West State Street, Ithaca, NY 14050. Or, get a free copy by visiting the Sun’s office. phjoslin@aol.com Paul Joslin ’50
