It is really great to hear from Mr.Schroeder to talk about the history of buildings in Ithaca. I know some of the names of these buildings, but I do not actually know the history behind them.

It is good to know that every building has its own beautiful story behind. Mr.Schroeder also talked about some interesting facts: For instance, Cornell does not need to pay property tax, because US wants to release the burden of educational institution to motivate the construction of universities. However, as an elite university, Cornell is very rich, so it is worth thinking that whether residents in Ithaca should, to some extent, pay for Cornell’s prosperity.

It is also interesting to know that when approving for the construction of new buildings in CollegeTown, the new building should to some extent consist with old buildings.
