  About Yale University: Yale and the World
New Haven, CT Yale University is located in historic New Haven, Connecticut, a port city with a population of 125,000 about 120 kilometers northeast of New York City and 200 kilometers southwest of Boston.
Taking medieval English universities such as Oxford and Cambridge as its model, this distinctive system divides the undergraduate population into twelve separate communities of approximately 450 members each, thereby enabling Yale to offer its students both the intimacy of a small college environment and the vast resources of a major research university.
Among its holdings are the University’s comprehensive mineralogical and ornithological collections, the second-largest repository of dinosaur artifacts in the United States, and the largest intact Apatosaurus (Brontosaurus) in the world.

 Debating the American Decision to Drop the Atomic Bomb
Americans are forced to accept the conventional arguments supporting dropping the bomb or admit that their President lied to them about the real reasons for dropping the bomb.
In addition, American diplomats and negotiators in June 1945 told President Truman that the Japanese were seeking to surrender on one condition--that they be allowed to keep their emperor.
General Dwight Eisenhower, supreme commander of American forces in Europe, told Secretary of War Stimson "that Japan was already defeated and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary." In July 1945 Eisenhower met with Truman and advised him not to use the bomb.

 American Rhetoric: John F. Kennedy - American University Address
This is a young and growing university, but it has already fulfilled Bishop Hurst's enlightened hope for the study of history and public affairs in a city devoted to the making of history and to the conduct of the public's business.
World peace, like community peace, does not require that each man love his neighbor, it requires only that they live together in mutual tolerance, submitting their disputes to a just and peaceful settlement.
But it is also a warning, a warning to the American people not to fall into the same trap as the Soviets, not to see only a distorted and desperate view of the other side, not to see conflict as inevitable, accommodation as impossible, and communication as nothing more than an exchange of threats.

DURHAM, North Carolina: Two members of the Duke University men's lacrosse team have been arrested on rape charges that have swirled around the squad for more than a month, forcing the prestigious university to confront accusations that it fostered a climate of privilege and racial insensitivity.
