• Old Rag LXVI **NEW DATE**

  • When
    09/29/2018
  •  
    7:30 AM - 7:00 PM
  • Location
    Old Rag Mountain, Sperryville, VA

  **ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED ON 9/15**

  Note - There is no online registration for this event

  Please RSVP directly to Clint as indicated below

  ***Carpool drivers needed***

  Still time to sign up, but what we especially need are carpool drivers.  If you can help, contact Clint Brass ctb14@cornell.edu

  Alumni and Cornell in Washington students will climb Old Rag Mountain, near Sperryville, VA, for the 66th time in our semiannual trek into the Blue Ridge.  This is one of the Washington area's most popular excursions, and we expect a large turnout (25-40 people) each time we go.

  The first 1/3 of the strenuous, 9-mile hike (summit 3268 ft.; elevation gain 2300 ft.) is on an uphill trail through the trees, while the upper part is open and rocky. Bring lunch and water (two liters per person *minimum*) in a day-pack, and be sure to wear a hat, sunscreen, and sturdy shoes. The total time needed for climbing, enjoying the view, eating, and descending is about 6 hours. We usually get back to D.C. around 7:00 pm. The National Park Service does not allow more hikers after the parking lot is full. Therefore, a prompt 7:45am start from the Cornell Center is needed for this full-day event.

  Note: This is a very difficult hike. Those who have not hiked a trail like Old Rag's are strongly encouraged to e-mail or call Clint Brass, using the contact information below, if you would like to get more information before RSVPing.

  Dress: Sports/Outdoor

  Transportation/Directions: We rendezvous as a group in Sperryville, arriving before 9:45am, and then drive together as a group to the mountain parking lot.

  For carpoolers (unless other arrangements are made), come to the Cornell Wolpe Center to meet your driver: 2148 O Street, NW Washington, DC.  (Metro Dupont Circle (Red))  We will leave promptly at 7:45am.

  For those driving a carpool from DC, arrive before 7:45am at: Cornell Wolpe Center 2148 O Street, NW Washington, DC. Most carpoolers will rendezvous there, unless other arrangements have been made. 

  For those driving directly to our Sperryville rendezvous point, make sure you get a PDF with directions from the organizer. Do not rely on phones: you will lose cell reception on the way, and roads are not always well marked.

  Cars will be dispatched starting at 7:45am from the Cornell Wolpe Center or may drive directly to our rendezvous point in Sperryville, arriving absolutely no later than 9:45am (Sperryville Trading Cafe and Market, formerly the Emporium). At 9:45am, we drive in caravan, as a group, to the mountain parking lot. The rendezvous in Sperryville is necessary, if we wish to do the hike as a group.

  When RSVPing, please indicate if you can give anyone a ride (if so, how many people), if you need a ride, or if you will meet us there. Directions will be available that morning at the Cornell Center or via e-mail in a PDF file.

  Cost: Please plan ahead for paying fees; some cash may be necessary. Pricing has changed since past hikes to a flat $30/vehicle National Park Service (NPS) fee. Bring your portion of the $30 NPS fee, payable on location before we begin. Please bring cash in small bills. In case the NPS parking lot fills, it will be necessary to park on neighboring private property, where in the past they have charged an additional $10 fee (cash only). Carpoolers should plan to pay in cash a portion of the vehicle fee and contribution toward gas money (variable amount up to around $10).

  To attend: RSVP by Wednesday, September 26th, to Clint Brass '90, Please provide your name, email address, a telephone number where you can be reached shortly before the hike (in the event of bad weather), and the number of people coming. Friends and family are welcome. In addition, we try to carpool; please indicate if you can give anyone a ride (if so, how many people), if you need a ride, or if you will meet us there. To comply with University policy, participants will be asked to sign a standard release form.

  Sixth in our Civil War Battlefield series
  

  Ticket price includes round trip chartered coach from the DC area, free all-day parking at pickup site, complimentary cold drinks and snacks served aboard, boxed lunch (vegetarian option available).  Limited to 1 Guest per Member. 

  Departure Location: Westfield Montgomery Mall, 7101 Democracy Blvd., Bethesda, MD 20817 (Parking Map)

  Due to popular demand, the Cornell and Columbia Clubs of Washington present an all-day guided bus trip to the Antietam National Battlefield for a second time. Our guide will again be Cornell Professor David Silbey, a Cornell alumnus and military historian who has published widely on modern warfare and has long experience walking the Antietam battlefield.

  

  "On December 1, 1862, Abraham Lincoln wrote an annual message to Congress, a state of the disunion, if you will. He finished with these words:

  'The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation. We say we are for the Union. The world will not forget that we say this. We know how to save the Union. The world knows we do know how to save it. We -- even we here -- hold the power, and bear the responsibility. In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free -- honorable alike in what we give, and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth. Other means may succeed; this could not fail. The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just -- a way which, if followed, the world will forever applaud, and God must forever bless.'

  It is hard to imagine that when Lincoln wrote of the 'fiery trial' he did not think of the Battle of Antietam. Antietam remains the bloodiest single day in American history, worse than Gettysburg or Pearl Harbor, D-Day or 9/11. But it was also the start of a turn in the war. From Antietam in 1862 to Gettysburg in 1863, the war was won and lost. Antietam, as Churchill said about another war, was not the beginning of the end, but the end of the beginning.

  We will go to Sharpsburg, MD to understand why and how the battle was so important, so bloody, and so near-run. It was Robert E. Lee's greatest battle; it was his worst. It was George McClellan's biggest failure and also his redemption. Most importantly, it was the battle for which Abraham Lincoln had been waiting, impatiently. To find out why, we have to and will walk the battlefield and see the battle as the soldiers and generals saw it.”

  Itinerary:

  1. Bus to South Mountain Battlefield State Park
  2. McClellan’s Headquarters, Boonsboro Pike
  3. The Cornfield and Bloody Lane, north of town.
  4. Burnside Bridge, south of town.
  5. Antietam National Cemetery, middle of town.

  Professor David Silbey is the associate director of the Cornell in Washington program and a senior lecturer at Cornell. He teaches courses on European history, modern military history, guerilla conflicts, and the role of popular will in waging war. Silbey received his BA from Cornell and his PhD from Duke University.

  His first book, The British Working Class and Enthusiasm for War, 1914-1916 was published by Taylor & Francis in 2005. His second book, A War of Empire and Frontier: The Philippine-American War, 1899-1902 was published by Hill & Wang in Spring 2007. His third book, The Boxer Rebellion and the Great Game in China, 1900 was published by Hill & Wang in March 2012. 

  Professor Silbey is the resident historian and chaperone extraordinaire for our very popular Columbia-Cornell Civil War History tours.

  Please note: Seats are limited; tour of battlefield includes riding bus and substantial walking on uneven ground and climbing stairs.

  The Cornell Club of Washington invites all fellow alums in Washington DC, Northern Virginia, Maryland and around the world to celebrate the legacy and tradition of Theodore Zinck's for one of the most anticipated Cornell events of the year!
  

  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-60s, celebrating the spirit of Zinck’s became a favorite Thursday night Collegetown tradition of undergraduates. It wasn't long afterwards that Cornellians continued the tradition in their hometowns.
  

  So come on out and celebrate this longstanding tradition of "Cornell Community" with your fellow local alums!

  Cost:
  

  Admission includes hors d'oeuvres as well as cash bar specials, to include:

  $10 for Members and those who become a Member day-of (Pay in advance online.  Cash or check ONLY at the door.)
