- Description:
- "This building is dedicated to the memory of Cathy Tobin '73, a founder of women's intramural athletics at Cornell. She had a special ability to involve all students, athletically inclined or not. Her enthusiasm and humor helped others to share the enjoyment that exercise, competition and teamwork offer. Cathy organized impromptu soccer games on the quadrangle at midnight during exam week. She insisted that good friends, new acquaintances, and even passersby join in, and her light heart and good cheer spread to everyone who did so. this facility will enable Cathy's spirit to endure."
