The Cornell Club of Hawai'i recently sponsored another tremendously successful International Spirit of Zinck's night on Thursday, October 17, 2002. The event was held at Gordon Biersch at the Aloha Tower Marketplace and started at 5:30pm.

The Cornell Club of Hawaii joined over 80 cities around the world in an annual celebration in honor of legendary Ithacan Theodore Zinck. Mr. Zinck was a saloonkeeper and his pub, the Hotel Brunswick, was a popular gathering place for Cornellians in the 1890’s. 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-'60s, celebrating the "Spirit of Zinck's" became a favorite Thursday night Collegetown tradition of undergraduates.

Cornell Club of Hawaii members and their guests had an opportunity to talk about their experiences on the hill, learn about what other Cornellians are doing while they are living and working in Hawaii and generally 'talk story' over pupus and drinks supplied by the great folks at Gordon Biersch!

Below are some photos from the event:
