Yale in New Haven

Yale has been a part of the New Haven scene for such a long time that we are prone to forget this was not its original location. Yale moved to New Haven from Saybrook, and the circumstances under which it came here are interesting. We are all familiar nowadays with the efforts New Haven and other cities make to attract new enterprises to their communities. That Yale\u27s permanent establishment here nearly 250 years ago was the result of a Colonial counterpart of such and effort will come as a surprise to many. In fact, the three-year fight for the Collegiate School, as Yale was first called, involved a number of Connecticut towns and was one of the most spirited controversies in the State\u27s history

Report of the President\u27s Committee on General Education

Anyone who claims to be thinking about contemporary education in the colleges must level a critical eye, not only at them but also at the community they serve. The adequate definition of a liberal education is certain! y still to be made; society on the other hand has still to reach a point where it would know how to use that education if it came to exist. The President\u27s Committee on General Education is obliged then to see the context of its recommendations as a complex one. Our first point of common agreement as a committee, however, was that we would not attempt a theoretical study of college education but would concern ourselves with the possibilities of our own Yale situation. At the same time it was apparent that the way of Yale is only one aspect of the problem faced by every university college. And there has been in addition a growing recognition over the past few years that though the break between school and college is often divisive, it does not represent a true division -- that in order to think constructively about the first years of college we must ask ourselves how they can best use and extend the education of the schools
