Chef’s hats. And, Bob Perry’s spaghetti. Weekly dinners at the Alpha Psi fraternity house are fond memories for Dr. Ann Huntington ’77.

From the 1930s to the 1980s, Alpha Psi was a strong force at the College of Veterinary Medicine, meeting a very important need for generations of students who needed opportunities to connect with each other. With the rise of new student organizations, Dr. Huntington mused, today’s students have found alternatives for connecting outside of the classroom and exploring professional interests. As such, members of the Board of the Trustees for the Beta Chapter of Alpha Psi decided to look for a new way to serve Cornell’s veterinary community.Item 2009 CVM News: New hospital director takes the reinsOffice of Communications (Cornell University, College of Veterinary Medicine, 2009-09-17)This news item is about: Dr. Bill Horne says life is all about balance: too much of one activity, no matter how great it is, has the potential to set you on a course for discontent, unease, and yearning.
