It’s that time again: when future alumni from around the country and the world return to Ithaca for the start of spring semester. But as every Cornellian knows, the “spring” part of the season will only kick in a couple of months down the road, at the earliest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As students marked the first few days of classes in late January\u2014amid wind gusts and temperatures in the 20s and low 30s\u2014our photographers were on the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In many ways, these moments could have been captured any time in the last half-century\u2014except for the cellphones, the sleek laptops, and those bulky noise-canceling headphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
