International Spirit of Zinck's Night
Date: Thursday, October 15, 2009 from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM
Location: Vino 100
Price: Drink Specials
Description:

Free appetizers (artisanal cheeses) and cash bar (1/2 price wine by the glass from 5 – 7 p.m.).
RSVP's to Theresa Flores ’93 would be appreciated!
Why celebrate the Spirit of Zinck's?
You may be thousands of miles from Cornell, but on Thursday, October 15, 2009 you can feel just steps away
from the Hill by attending the Spirit of Zinck's event nearest you. The entire Cornell community—both students
and alumni—observes an annual Spirit of Zinck's Night in more than 90 locations around the world.
Theodore Zinck was a saloonkeeper in Ithaca, and his pub, the Hotel Brunswick, was a popular gathering place
for Cornellians in the 1890s. After his death in 1903, several bars using his name continued to provide a haven
for students. When the last Zinck's closed in the mid-1960s, celebrating the spirit of Zinck's became a favorite
Thursday night Collegetown tradition for undergraduates. It wasn't long afterward that Cornellians began to
continue the tradition in their hometowns. This year, alumni will celebrate this uniquely Cornell event in more
than 90 cities around the world. So wherever you are, remember your days at Cornell on October 15, 2009.
