"Hey Uncle Ezra,
I have heard that the marriage rate for Cornell grads is something like 60% which I most definitely don't believe. Is there an accurate figure as to what the real percentage of grads that marry each other is?
Thanks, The Curious Kid"
"Dear CK,
This may be one of the biggest reddest tall tales on campus, and it is one that has been around for ages. According to our alumni records of living, mailable alumni, less than 10% of Cornellians are married to another Cornellian - a far cry from the 50-60% rumors that are often heard. But if you are wondering if that means the crush in your chem class is "the one," it is hard to know. Many married Cornellians were not in the same graduating class and some didn't even meet their spouse until well after graduation!

I'm sure that'd be possible. There are Cornellians everywhere.
