Many were on hand to hear stories told by our department's Emeritus Faculty, including some students from past years. We were honored to have Edmund T. Cranch, former Dean of Engineering and active member of the Cornell Association of Professors Emeriti (CAPE) attend the event. Cranch told of his visit many years ago to the home of William and Katherine Snee, benefactors of Snee Hall.
