| | Nassau Hall |
 | | Nassau Hall was, at the time of its completion in 1756, the largest stone building in the colonies. |
 | | The use of Nassau Hall as a dormitory declined steadily toward the end of the nineteenth century with the erection of new dormitories, and as students moved out, museums, laboratories, and classrooms moved in. |
 | | For many years, the Nassau Hall bell was rung with a rope pulled by a campus policeman or, in the hour-long ringing after a football victory in New Haven or Cambridge, by freshmen and, at least on one occasion, by a dean, whose signature, Christian Gauss, appeared on the wall among the other bell ringers'. |
