Seventy-five years ago, the Big Red played one of the most famous contests in college
football history. The so-called Fifth Down Game—in which Cornell forfeited a key win
against Dartmouth as a matter of honor—would be remembered for generations as
both the University’s most heartbreaking athletic loss and its most enduring victory. The
drama was only deepened by the fact that nearly every member of that 1940 squad was
about go off to fight for their country: they were one of the most talented teams the
Big Red had ever seen, enjoying “their last gridiron fling before war overtook them.”

FROM THE HILL
Nano ‘Dots’ Spur
New Cancer Center
The University is teaming up with Memorial Sloan Kettering
Cancer Center to open a Center of Cancer Nanotechnology
Excellence. Funded in part with an $8.2 million grant from
the National Cancer Institute, the venture—which will have
one facility in Duffield Hall and another at Sloan Kettering in
New York City—will bring together scientists, engineers,
biologists, and physicians to develop new cancer therapies
based on nanotechnology. It will focus on melanoma and
malignant brain cancers, basing its work on so-called
“Cornell Dots”—nanoparticles, developed on campus, now
in human trials for diagnostics and drug delivery. “You can’t
do this alone,” says materials science professor Uli Wiesner,
inventor of the dots. “The medical community doesn’t
have enough know-how of nanomaterials, and we, the
scientists and engineers, don’t have enough experience in
the medical area.”
