Princeton track coach Fred Samara retires after 46 years of coaching

It's now the most conservative ivy, recently surpassing yale. Cornell tends to focus on more direct right or wrong test questions such as multiple choice, whereas the other ivy's tend to exercise more critical thinking problems on exams. One example of critical thinking is graph analysis, which tub of water will fill up first type of flow charts.

One thing I will say. Cornell's physics department has by far the best underground partical accelerator labs in the united states.

Before I received my 2 masters degrees, I was required to take 4 physics classes (even as a microbiology major.) I ended up taking physics 1, physics 2, quantum physics, and astronomy which is space physics. My professor had a PhD in nuclear physics from Cornell. He was a midget (not sure if that's politically correct anymore?) and only stood 4 feet tall. He wore platform shoes as most midgets do. He actually had that disorder where all of his organs were on the wrong side of his body. So his heart was on the right side instead of the left side. He also had a lisp. I began the course sitting in the front row, and at the end if each class I would be totally covered in his saliva. I kid you not.

Anyways, I was very quick to judge this guy. His name was Dr Rikiki. However, looking back in my entire college career, he was one if my favorite professors and I extrapolated more from him than any other professor in college. He was the only professor I had that did not believe in global warming. He said its a practical joke and the earth is so large that it will take care of itself. He also went into explicit detail about how his short stature makes dating incredibly hard with women. He spoke often about his faith, and how the more he looks into his telescope at the stars each night, the more that he wants to believe in God. He said that God must exist to create special people like him, and that he designed each and every one of us special for a reason.

Because of him, I have respect for anyone who attended Cornell. Because of him, I have respect for the world around me and have realized what, exactly, my role should be in the universe and in humanity.

The rest of your comment is funny, but Yale is typically the 2nd wokest - only behind Brown.

Who is in the mix to replace Fred?

I remember Fred helping me out in judging the high jump at a meet at Cornell. I was a Cornell grad student and member of the Finger Lakes Running Club. Cornell was able to get volunteers for their track meet from members of the FLRC. Sometimes I was a timer, but for this meet, they wanted me to judge the HJ. Well, I didn't know much about judging the HJ, but Fred, one of the HJ participants, helped me organize the HJ. So even then Fred was coaching!

I had several in the league and on the team that told me Vigilante was batsh*t crazy in his UVA days.

I don’t know any current Princeton athletes but have talked with several current Ivy athletes. And I’ve seen Vigilante ‘going off’ at some meets.

I wonder, has he

mellowed

maintained crazy level

gotten even crazier
