Cornell Is Rich Again!

Thanks to the generosity of one "retired clergy" alumnus, Cornell will be able to save millions of dollars each year:

From Skorton's Q and A with alumni yesterday:

Perhaps the most unexpected "question" came from a retired clergyman from the Class of 1957. He would, he said, donate to the university his patent for a solar device that could save Cornell 25 percent annually on heating costs. "If you'd like my name, it's Lee Poole, and I promise to do this."

Hallelujah!
