Yale College Diversity Viewbook Yale.* *Diversity at Yale College, 2020–2021 A Yale’s most valuable resource is not its libraries or its laboratories, but its student body—a community with a remarkable range of experiences and aspirations, talents and abilities, backgrounds and identities. Diversity is an essential component of a Yale education. In the words of Yale College Dean Marvin Chun, “Diversity is the foundation for innovation, strength, and resilience. When a community is diverse, individuals thrive.” Diversity of thought enables every undergraduate to explore courses in more than 80 majors without the restrictions of a core curriculum. Diversity of identity, culture, and community enriches every interaction in every campus space, from seminar tables to cultural celebrations, from religious observances to political demonstrations. Yale Mission Statement Diversity of perspective brings a world of experiences to Yale and the Yale experience to every Yale is committed to corner of the globe. improving the world today and for future generations Socioeconomic diversity ensures that cost is through outstanding research never a barrier to assembling the most promising and scholarship, education, students from every background. preservation, and practice.

  • Yale Announces New Commission of Hopper College Dining Hall Windows by Artist Barbara Earl Thomas
    YALE ANNOUNCES NEW COMMISSION OF HOPPER COLLEGE DINING HALL WINDOWS BY ARTIST BARBARA EARL THOMAS New Haven, Conn | July 29, 2020 — Artist Barbara Earl Thomas has accepted a commission to design a new set of windows for the dining hall of Yale’s Grace Hopper College that will confront and contextualize the history of the residential college’s name, which originally honored 19th-century statesman and notorious slavery advocate John C. Calhoun. “My goal with this project is to depict the history of the college’s name in a way that is real, honorable, and in the spirit of our time,” said Thomas, a Seattle-based artist who was selected for the project by a university committee in the spring. “I want the images to tell the story of the renaming, addressing John C. Calhoun’s disturbing legacy while honoring the life of Grace Murray Hopper.” Thomas, a widely exhibited artist whose work in various media, including glass, often emphasizes storytelling, will design five pictorial windows in the dining hall’s central bay. Two of the windows will directly address Calhoun’s legacy and the college’s renaming, according to preliminary designs. The new panes will be incorporated into the hall’s existing windows, which depict flora and fauna of the antebellum South and were part of a tableau glorifying a pastoral lifestyle that depended on the labor of enslaved people. When the college opened in 1933, it was named after Calhoun 1804 B.A., 1822 LL.D., who had served the country as vice president, secretary of state, secretary of war, and as a prominent U.S.

  • Town, Gown, and the Great Depression: Yale and New Haven During the Construction of Yale’S Original Residential Colleges
    DAVID MCCULLOUGH TOWN, GOWN, AND THE GREAT DEPRESSION: YALE AND NEW HAVEN DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF YALE’S ORIGINAL RESIDENTIAL COLLEGES In 1930, New Haven had nearly all the hallmarks of a city devastated by the Great De- pression: thousands of hungry young children, unemployed parents wandering the streets looking for work, businesses shuttered. Meanwhile, the slice of the city that was Yale seemed impervious to the effects of the economic crisis. Throughout the Great Depression, the University hungrily bought up land and erected massive new buildings, including the eight which would come to serve as its first residential colleges. In the fol- lowing pages, David McCullough III ’17 explores this historical juxtaposition, tracing the simmering tensions which erupted between town and gown in this fraught time. By David McCullough III, DC ’17 Edited by Eva Landsberg and Emily Yankowitz 9 TOWN, GOWN, AND THE GREAT DEPRESSION A TUESDAY IN OCTOBER October 29, 1929, New Haven: On the corner of College and Chapel Streets, the prominent Hotel Taft, with its whitewashed Gregorian columns and twelve-story red brick façade, towered over the quiet Green. Next door, a string of Ford Model As sat along the curb beneath the grandiose sign and overhang of the Schubert Theater. Behind locked doors, the theater began to bustle in preparation for the evening’s performance. The steeples of the Trinity Episcopal, Center, and United Churches poked above the tree line, three abreast along Temple Street. And throughout the bustling Green, rows of elms took on their autumnal yellows and reds. Through Church, Elm, and Chapel Streets, trolleys glided by whirring automobiles and rattling carts full of every good imaginable.

    Yale University EliScholar – A Digital Platform for Scholarly Publishing at Yale Publications on Yale History Yale History 1-1961 Yale's Extracurricular & Social Organizations, 1780-1960 Loomis Havemeyer Follow this and additional works at: https://elischolar.library.yale.edu/yale_history_pubs r 1 YALE'S EXTRACURRICULAR & SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS Loomis Havemeyer January 1961 Foreword Since the eighteenth century there has grown up at Yale a vast number of societies, fraternities and clubs; students have always been great njoinersu. Some of these have lasted a long time and are impor- tant while others existed only a brief period and died, leaving, perhaps, only a name with no date available. In going through the old copies of the Banner the names of many of these latter appear only to be omitted in later issues and so we assume that they passed from the scene. A group might get together for some purpose, select a name, be recorded in the Banner, and then in a short time cease to exist. These we have not included for while they may have been important to the founders, they made no impression on the Yale scene. We have not in- cluded athletics or the preparatory school and state clubs that as a rule meet infrequently, perhaps for one dinner a year, and usually have an ephemeral existence. After months of research we have compiled a list of the more important extracurricular activities, giving, where possible, the date, when they first appeared and if they dropped out, the year. In some cases there are no adequate records and so we have resorted to ques- tion marks.
