Day Hall is a building on the Central Campus of Cornell University that currently houses the administration[1] and registrar.[2]
History
20th century
Day Hall was constructed in 1947.[3]
During the 1969 protests the SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) group was planning to capture the Day Hall (an administrative building at the time).[4]
In 1993 Cornell's Latino students staged a peaceful protest and sit-in at Day Hall to raise awareness of these students' needs and had ripple effects nationwide,[5][3] including the expansion of the Latino Studies Program and the creation of the Latino Living Center at Cornell.[6][3]
