On October 16, Cornell University will host a celebration known as the International Spirit of Zinck’s Night. The event commemorates Theodore Zinck, an Ithaca saloon owner who operated the Hotel Brunswick in the 1890s. After Zinck’s death in 1903, several bars in the Collegetown area adopted his name, and Cornellians have since gathered annually on a Thursday night to honor his legacy. For additional details about the celebration and to locate nearby events, visit the Cornell alumni traditions webpage at the provided URL.
