A tip of the hats

A day of events, April 28, celebrating the tenure and achievements of President Hunter Rawlings was capped off by the "Hats Off to Hunter" campus salute on the Arts Quad, attended by hundreds of Cornell students, staff and faculty. The festivities included performances by vocal groups, musicians and jugglers, a poetry reading, speeches and a "most hilarious hat" contest.
