Founded in 1701 as the "Collegiate School" by a group of Congregationalis t ministers and chartered by the Colony of Connecticut, the university is the th ird-oldest institution of higher education in the United States. In 1718, the sc hool was renamed "Yale College" in recognition of a gift from Elihu Yale, a gove rnor of the British East India Company. Established to train Connecticut ministe rs in theology and sacred languages, by 1777 the school's curriculum began to in corporate humanities and sciences. During the 19th century Yale gradually incorp orated graduate and professional instruction, awarding the first Ph.D. in the Un ited States in 1861 and organizing as a university in 1887.[5] Yale is organized into twelve constituent schools: the original undergraduate co llege, the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, and ten professional schools. Whi le the university is governed by the Yale Corporation, each school's faculty ove rsees its curriculum and degree programs. In addition to a central campus in dow ntown New Haven, the University owns athletic facilities in Western New Haven, i ncluding the Yale Bowl, a campus in West Haven, Connecticut, and forest and natu re preserves throughout New England. The University's assets include an endowmen t valued at $23.9 billion as of September 27, 2014.[6] The Yale University Libra ry, serving all twelve schools, holds more than 15 million volumes and is the th ird-largest academic library in the United States.[7][8] Yale College undergraduates follow a liberal arts curriculum with departmental m ajors and are organized into a system of residential colleges. Almost all facult y teach undergraduate courses, more than 2,000 of which are offered annually.[9] Students compete intercollegiately as the Yale Bulldogs in the NCAA Division I Ivy League. 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 st ate. 52 Nobel laureates have been affiliated with the University as students, fa culty, or staff, and 230 Rhodes Scholars (the second most in the world) graduate d from the University.[11] Contents [hide] 1 History 1.1 Early history 1.1.1 Origins 1.1.2 Curriculum 1.1.3 Students 1.2 19th century 1.2.1 Sports and debate 1.2.2 Expansion 1.3 20th century 1.3.1 Behavioral sciences 1.3.2 Biology 1.3.3 Medicine 1.3.4 Faculty 1.3.5 History and American Studies 1.3.6 Women 1.3.7 Class 1.3.8 Town-gown relations 1.4 21st century 2 Administration and organization 2.1 Leadership 2.2 Staff and labor unions 3 Campus 3.1 Notable nonresidential campus buildings 3.2 Campus safety 4 Academics 4.1 Admissions 4.2 Collections 4.3 University rankings 4.4 Faculty, research, and intellectual traditions 5 Campus life 5.1 Residential colleges 5.2 Student organizations 5.3 Traditions 5.4 Athletics 5.4.1 Song 5.4.2 Mascot 6 Notable people 6.1 Benefactors 6.2 Notable alumni and faculty 7 Yale in fiction and popular culture 8 Notes and references 9 Further reading 9.1 Secret societies 10 External links History[edit] A Front View of Yale-College and the College Chapel, Daniel Bowen, 1786. Early history[edit] Origins[edit] 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, in an effort to create an institution to train ministers and lay leadership for Co nnecticut. Soon thereafter, a group of ten Congregationalist ministers: Samuel A ndrew, Thomas Buckingham, Israel Chauncy, Nicole Mather, James Noyes, James Pier pont, Abraham Pierson, Noadiah Russell, Joseph Webb and Timothy Woodbridge, all alumni of Harvard, met in the study of Reverend Samuel Russell in Branford, Conn ecticut, to pool their books to form the school's library.[12] The group, led by James Pierpont, is now known as "The Founders". Originally known as the "Collegiate School," the institution opened in the home of its first rector, Abraham Pierson,[13] in Killingworth (now Clinton). The sch ool moved to Saybrook, and then Wethersfield. In 1718 the college moved to New H aven, Connecticut. First diploma awarded by Yale College, granted to Nathaniel Chauncey, 1702. Meanwhile, a rift was forming at Harvard between its sixth president Increase Ma ther and the rest of the Harvard clergy, whom Mather viewed as increasingly libe ral, ecclesiastically lax, and overly broad in Church polity. The feud caused th e Mathers to champion the success of the Collegiate School in the hope that it w ould maintain the Puritan religious orthodoxy in a way that Harvard had not.[14] In 1718, at the behest of either Rector Samuel Andrew or the colony's Governor G urdon Saltonstall, Cotton Mather contacted a successful businessman named Elihu Yale, who lived in Wales but had been born in Boston and whose father David had been one of the original settlers in New Haven, to ask him for financial help in constructing a new building for the college. Through the persuasion of Jeremiah Dummer, Yale, who had made a fortune through trade while living in British Raj as a representative of the East India Company, donated nine bales of goods, whic h were sold for more than £560, a substantial sum at the time. Yale also donated 4 17 books and a portrait of King George I. Cotton Mather suggested that the schoo l change its name to Yale College in gratitude to its benefactor, and to increas e the chances that he would give the college another large donation or bequest. Elihu Yale was away in India when the news of the school's name change reached h is home in Wrexham, Wales, a trip from which he never returned. While he did ult imately leave his fortunes to the "Collegiate School within His Majesties Colony of Connecticot",[citation needed] the institution was never able to successfull y lay claim to it. Old Brick Row in 1807. Curriculum[edit] Yale was swept up by the great intellectual movements of the period—the Great Awak ening and the Enlightenment—thanks to the religious and scientific interests of pr esidents Thomas Clap and Ezra Stiles. They were both instrumental in developing the scientific curriculum at Yale, while dealing with wars, student tumults, gra ffiti, "irrelevance" of curricula, desperate need for endowment, and fights with the Connecticut legislature.[15] Serious American students of theology and divinity, particularly in New England, regarded Hebrew as a classical language, along with Greek and Latin, and essent ial for study of the Old Testament in the original words. The Reverend Ezra Stil es, president of the College from 1778 to 1795, brought with him his interest in the Hebrew language as a vehicle for studying ancient Biblical texts in their o riginal language (as was common in other schools), requiring all freshmen to stu dy Hebrew (in contrast to Harvard, where only upperclassmen were required to stu Urim and Thummim) on th) םימתו םירוא dy the language) and is responsible for the Hebrew phrase seal. Stiles' greatest challenge occurred in July 1779 when hostile British for ces occupied New Haven and threatened to raze the College. However, Yale graduat e Edmund Fanning, Secretary to the British General in command of the occupation, interceded and the College was saved. Fanning later was granted an honorary deg ree LL.D., at 1803,[16] for his efforts. Woolsey Hall in c. 1905 Students[edit] As the only college in Connecticut, Yale educated the sons of the elite.[17] Off enses for which students were punished included cardplaying, tavern-going, destr uction of college property, and acts of disobedience to college authorities. Dur ing the period, Harvard was distinctive for the stability and maturity of its tu tor corps, while Yale had youth and zeal on its side.[18] The emphasis on classics gave rise to a number of private student societies, ope n only by invitation, which arose primarily as forums for discussions of modern scholarship, literature and politics. The first such organizations were debating societies: Crotonia in 1738, Linonia in 1753, and Brothers in Unity in 1768.[19 ] 19th century[edit] Men leaning on the old Yale fence facing Chapel Street, c. 1874. The Yale Report of 1828 was a dogmatic defense of the Latin and Greek curriculum against critics who wanted more courses in modern languages, mathematics, and s cience. Unlike higher education in Europe, there was no national curriculum for colleges and universities in the United States. In the competition for students and financial support, college leaders strove to keep current with demands for i nnovation.

This phenomenon is called unraveling. We examine the link between wage bargaining and unraveling. Two firms, an incumbent and an entrant, compete to hire a worker of unknown talent. Informational frictions prevent the incumbent from always observing the entrant's arrival, inducing unraveling in all equilibria. We analyze the extent of unraveling, surplus shares, the average talent of employed workers, and the distribution of wages within and across firms.

  • When Marriage Is Too Much: Reviving the Registered Partnership in a Diverse Society Abstract
    M ARY C HARLOTTE Y . C ARROLL When Marriage Is Too Much: Reviving the Registered Partnership in a Diverse Society abstract. In the years since same-sex marriage’s legalization, many states have repealed their civil union and domestic partnership laws, creating a marriage-or-nothing binary for couples in search of relationship recognition. This Note seeks to add to the growing call for legal recognition of partnership pluralism by illustrating why marriage is not the right fit—or even a realistic choice—for all couples. It highlights in particular the life-or-death consequences matrimony can bring for those reliant on government healthcare benefits because of a disability or a need for long- term care. Building upon interview data and a survey of state nonmarital partnership policies, it proposes the creation of a customizable marriage alternative: the registered partnership. author. Yale Law School, J.D. 2020; University of Cambridge, M.Phil. approved 2017; Rice University, B.A. 2016. I am grateful first and foremost to Anne Alstott, whose endless support, encouragement, and feedback enabled me to write this Note. I am further indebted to Frederik Swennen and Wilfried Rault for taking the time to speak with me about nonmarital partnerships in France and Belgium and to Kaiponanea T. Matsumura and Michael J. Higdon for invaluable guidance on nonmarital partnerships in the United States. Thanks also to the wonderful editors of the Yale Law Journal’s Notes & Comments Committee, especially Abigail Fisch, for their thoughtful comments; to the First- and Second-Year Editors, for their careful review of my Note; and to the Streicker Fund for Student Research, whose generosity made it possible for me to con- duct the research that informed this project.

Sound: Dolby Digital 5.1, Stereo 2.0. www.hope-theproject.com H.O.P.E. What You Eat Matters I Press Kit SYNOPSIS (short) Obesity, allergies, diabetes, heart disease, or cancer: More than half of all people living in the industrialized world suffer from chronic diseases. Animals are reared for our consumption under abysmal conditions. Industrial-size livestock breeding facilities contribute to world hunger and the destruction of our natural environment and climate. The documentary H.O.P.E. shows how simply changing what we put on our plates and moving towards a plant-based diet can restore our body´s health and our planet´s balance. It has a clear message: By changing our eating habits, we can change the world! (long) Half of the population in Western society suffers from being overweight. Cardio- vascular diseases, diabetes and cancer are epidemic. Our meat consumption has quintupled over the past 50 years. 65 billion land animals are being slaughtered every year for food consumption. One third of the global grain production is fed to animals for fattening while 1.8 billion people worldwide suffer from hunger and starvation. Can there really be a solution to all these problems? It was the search for an answer to this question that led Austrian author and filmmaker Nina Messinger on a journey through Europe, India and the US to investigate the consequences of our diet and to meet with leading experts in nutrition, medicine, science, and agriculture, as well as with farmers and people who have recovered from severe illnesses by simply changing their eating habits.
