Arons Daniel L. Arons, M.D. of Cambridge and Wellfleet and formerly of Newton, passed away on Wednesday August 6, 2014 at age 72. For 46 years, he was the beloved husband of Dr. Elissa (Beron) Arons. He was the loving father of Rebecca Arons and her husband Eric Fastiff, Dr. Dara Arons & her husband Jeremy McDiarmid, and Abigail Arons & her partner Matthew Bennett. Cherished grandfather of Eli and Tessa Fastiff and Hazel, Leah, and Rose McDiarmid. Dear uncle of Edward and Zachary. Dr. Arons was a dedicated and caring physician and teacher. Remembrances may be made to Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, 55 Fruit St, Boston, MA 0211 from Richard Rosenfeld: A week before Dan died, I wrote him, "You have been so important to my life, kind of a redeemer of my past." The past to which I referred was my time at Yale. My Yale undergraduate experience had been positive in many respects, but it had also been very flawed, due in large part to my own emotional deficits. In consequence of this, as of fifteen years after graduation, I had never returned to Yale, nor made any donations to the alumni fund or otherwise. In my own mind, I had left my Yale experience far behind. Dan Arons changed all this. Persuading me that I should reconsider my relationship to Yale, Dan got me to join him and other classmates at one of Dan's pre-game tailgate parties by the Harvard Boat House on the Charles River. I had a great time and decided to reconsider my relationship with Yale. Rosenfeld Hall was just one consequence of this. From his medical practice to his relationship with family and friends, Dan's life was a life in service to others. As a beneficiary of his kindness and his friendship, I will never forget him. from Philip Boyle: It is with profound sadness that I inform you that our Board colleague, Dan Arons, died earlier this week of esophageal cancer after an 18 month battle. He was a true friend and a very gentle man. Dan was on our Board from 2002-2005 and was an important contributor to our work for Yale. He has a long resume of volunteer activity for Yale, following his graduation from Yale College in 1963 and the Yale Medical School June 1, 2018 Battell Chapel Yale Class of 1963 – 55th Reunion Memorial Service Page 7 in 1967. His Yale pedigree reaches back to his father ('25) and uncle ('18), as well as two of his three daughters ('96 & '99). Dan was a primary care physician at the Massachusetts General Hospital for his entire career in medicine, seeing his patients right up to 10 days before his death. He held a teaching appointment at the Harvard Medical School. He and his wife of 46 years, Elissa, also a physician, lived in Newton for many years before recently moving to Cambridge. We will miss Dan immensely. The world is a far better place because of him. RIP Dan Arons. from Ron Sampson: I got to know Dan best in the context of Yale activities after graduation. He was always willing to pitch in, whatever the issue, and his counsel was invariably deliberate, thoughtful and on the mark. At the recent memorial service for him, one of his daughters recounted that he had the same considered, practical and loving approach to dealing with family: prospective sons-in-law were judged in part on how competent they were in operating a dishwasher, and all three daughters were helpfully admonished: "Girls don't burp at the dinner table!" Our class will miss his kind presence and good counsel. Ron from Hank Higdon: I remember seeing Dan on January 8 in Boston when I called him on one of my frequent business trips there and said I wanted to stop by and see him in Cambridge in the afternoon, which I did. We thus spent slightly more than one hour in his relatively new magnificent apartment overlooking the Charles River and the Harvard playing fields. I felt I was in heaven. Dan had christened the apartment in November of 2012, by hosting many of his friends and classmates there, after a Yale/Harvard game. This of course followed his traditional tailgate on the river before the game which would require him to show up at about 6:00am to claim his traditional spot between the boathouse and the bridge, and immediately across from the stadium. Dan had just closed on the apartment a day or two before that game in 2012 and thus it had zero furniture in it, but it was still a beautiful setting for the post-game cocktail party. The apartment on the day of my visit earlier this year, of course, was fully furnished, absolutely elegant, and was the space where Dan had hoped to spend his future years with his bride, Elissa. It was a wonderful visit with Dan and when I left he rode down on the elevator with me to say good-bye. He also made sure I did not leave empty-handed and insisted that I take with me a book on the history of Yale football, which he had had forever, as well as an empty wine bottle, which memorialized a Yale/Harvard get- together at the Harvard Club of Boston in honor of Carm Cozza. It has an appropriate Yale/Harvard label and Dan thought I would treasure it more than he did. He was right. I will treasure it forever. from Robert Barker: Dan always seemed an island of calm in a sea of turmoil. He had a wonderful, gentle sense of humor and a gritty stoicism that served him well even as his illness progressed. After graduation our paths crossed occasionally, but not often enough, and each encounter ended with my hoping that we see each other soon.

At 6:00 AM on July 7, with a ceremonial parade of the library’s earliest accessions, the two-month project of moving the books commenced. Leading the trail of librarians was the head librarian, Andrew Keogh, and the head of the serials cataloguing department, Grace Pierpont Fuller. Fuller was the descendant of James Pierpont, one of the principal founders of Yale, and was carrying the Latin Bible given by her ancestor during the fabled 1701 donation of books that signaled the foundation of the Collegiate School.

  • Meals+With+Faculty+Program+Semester+Report+
    Introduction Every day, Yale College students interact with their instructors, which include professors, lecturers, and teaching fellows. However, these interactions are typically limited to the classroom and office hours, and relationships tend not to continue past the end of the semester. By creating another way in which students can interact with faculty, students will have the ability to develop stronger relationships, which are valuable for both students and faculty. A Meals with Faculty program would allow students to interact more easily with professors, lecturers, and teaching fellows outside of typical learning spaces. This project aims to institute a robust Meals with Faculty program within Yale College. Background Currently, Yale College does not offer a college-wide Meals with Faculty program for students. Although professors in some classes invite students to meals, whether in the dining hall or off-campus, these are only a handful. There are also several residential colleges that have similar Meals with Faculty programs, such as Davenport College, Branford College, and Grace Hopper College. These college-specific programs are typically run by the residential college councils. In addition to this, students already have the opportunity to schedule meals with tenured professors, who are able to have lunches in the dining halls free of charge. However, many students are unaware of this opportunity or feel uncomfortable asking professors to a meal. A Meals with Faculty program would break down this “barrier” to interacting more with faculty. Peer Institutions Most of Yale’s peer institutions have Meals with Faculty programs in place. Each peer institution has designed a unique program to encourage relationships between students and faculty.

  • January 29, 2018
    Benjamin Franklin College Dean’s Notes – January 29, 2018 Dear Franklinites, It's the season of Masquerade and Rush and basketball and flu, all of which illustrate -- in ways smooth and sticky -- the need for reliance upon others. I toured a group of alums from the class of 1968 through Ben Frank over the weekend. They were suitably awed by the place as we stopped at each marker of the college's communal life. They made little asides about how different Yale looks now from then, a few of which induced an internal eye roll. But mostly what I noticed is that they wouldn't stop talking! No matter how much I cajoled, herded, yelled at them to keep moving, more to see. Fifty years gone and when these guys come back together the conversation never lapses. Mostly mundane stuff about a particular party or prank, some late night antics. (No paeans to their deans, alas). They were happy to be in one another's company. As, I hope, are you, and will you be. First-years: See you at Fireside Chats, starting tonight! Juniors: - if you're looking for a lot of togetherness, in the very best sense... FroCo applications are due Wednesday by 11:59 pm. Bring the Lightning! -Dean Hill A Time to Talk When a friend calls to me from the road And slows his horse to a meaning walk, I don't stand still and look around On all the hills I haven't hoed, And shout from where I am, 'What is it?' No, not as there is a time to talk.

  • Intellectual Manhood: Becoming Men of the Republic at a Southern University, 1795-1861
    INTELLECTUAL MANHOOD: BECOMING MEN OF THE REPUBLIC AT A SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY, 1795-1861 Timothy J. Williams A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Harry L. Watson Donald G. Mathews John F. Kasson James Leloudis Heather Williams ©2010 Timothy J. Williams ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Timothy J. Williams Intellectual Manhood: Becoming Men of the Republic at a Southern University, 1795- 1861 (Under the direction of Professor Harry L. Watson) ―Intellectual Manhood‖ explores antebellum southern students‘ personal and civic development at the University of North Carolina, the first state university to open its doors to students. Historians have characterized southern colleges as crucibles of sectional loyalty and culture, aimed at teaching students how to be southerners and gentlemen above all. This dissertation, however, demonstrates that southern education was more nuanced: it was cosmopolitan, southern, and American. Students described its goal as ―intellectual manhood,‖ which they strove to achieve by learning to think, read, write, and speak their way to adulthood. Though collegiate vice and dissipation threatened to impede young men‘s development, formal and informal education at the University emphasized a culture of mental and moral improvement. In the process, students incorporated values conventionally associated with middle-class society— industry, temperance, and discipline—and adapted them (at times uncomfortably) to youth culture and the southern gentry‘s traditional honor-bound, rugged worldview. Young men entered college with ambitions to serve the republic as virtuous, confident, and competent citizens.
