Uncle Ezra Needs To Read More MetaEzra

Dear Uncle Ezra - Questions for Thursday, April 21, 2011 - Cornell University:

Uncle Ezra, where can I find the original Big Red Ambition list?

Dear Originally Ambitious,

The last time Your Uncle looked, the Daily Sun's 2005 version of "161 Things Every . . . " was here: Big Red Ambition: 161 Things Every Cornellian Should Do

But, of course, as MetaEzra has previously reported, the original '161 Things' list was published by the Alumni Magazine in 1995. And by all accounts it is a far superior list. You can read that list here, including such gems as reading Gravity's Rainbow, 'getting a mantra', debating the existence of God, and cross-country skiing in the plantations.

Meanwhile, MetaEzra's own 161 Things That Every Cornell Alumnus must do will hopefully be finalized before Reunions.
