Yale University Is a Private Ivy League Research University in New Haven, Connecticut
Yale University is a private Ivy League research university in New Haven, Connecticut. Founded in 1701 as the "Collegiate School" by a group of Congregationalist ministers and chartered by the Colony of Connecticut, the university is the third-oldest institution of higher education in theUnited States. Yale is organized into twelve constituent schools: the original undergraduate college, the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, and ten professional schools. While the university is governed by the Yale Corporation, each school's faculty oversees its curriculum and degree programs. In addition to a central campus in downtown New Haven, the University owns athletic facilities in Western New Haven, including theYale Bowl, a campus in West Haven, Connecticut, and forest and nature preserves throughout New England. Yale has graduated many notable alumni, including five U.S. Presidents, 19 U.S. Supreme Court Justices, 13 living billionaires,[10] and many foreign heads of state. In addition, Yale has graduated hundreds of members of Congress and many high-level U.S. diplomats, including former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and current Secretary of State John Kerry. Fifty-two Nobel laureates have been affiliated with the University as students, faculty, or staff, and 230 Rhodes Scholars (the second most in the United States) graduated from the University.[11] Yale traces its beginnings to "An Act for Liberty to Erect a Collegiate School," passed by the General Court of the Colony of Connecticut on October 9, 1701, while meeting in New Haven. The Act was an effort to create an institution to train ministers and lay leadership for Connecticut. -

City-University Strategies and Foreign Branch Campuses: Competing in the Global Knowledge Economy
CITY-UNIVERSITY STRATEGIES AND FOREIGN BRANCH CAMPUSES: COMPETING IN THE GLOBAL KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars Work in Progress 23 October 2013 Professor Dean Forbes Public Policy Scholar, Woodrow Wilson Center Matthew Flinders Distinguished Professor School of International Studies, Flinders University Clark Kerr once wrote that: ‘The wealth of nations now depends on the performance of higher education as never before, through its contribution to building human capital and accumulated knowledge’ (Cole 2009 p 109). The 19th C geographer, Alexander von Humboldt believed that ’both [university] teachers and students have their justification in the common pursuit of knowledge, and hence there is unity of research and teaching’. German universities were the first to embrace this spirit. Von Humboldt’s contemporary, Cardinal John Newman, had a different emphasis. He believed that universities were about developing human capital, though he expressed it differently. Universities were, in his words, ‘a training ground for gentlemen’. But he didn’t think universities were about research, which was the responsibility of professional societies. Much is expected of the 21st Century universities, including a clear view of what they are meant to do and be. They will continue to be about building human capital in all its diversified forms, from professional qualifications to the liberal arts. And they will continue to be about the critical interrogation, circulation and distribution of knowledge. Research is a component of the scholarship of knowledge, but it is not necessary to all knowledge development. Critical commentary, the engagement of the public intellectual and the creative arts are all essential to the university’s ability to build human capital and enhance the knowledge economy, but they are not necessarily research.
