Berkeley College (Yale) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Berkeley College is a residential college at Yale University, constructed in 1930. The eighth of Yale's 12 residential colleges, it was named in honor of Reverend George Berkeley (1685-1753), dean of Derry and later bishop of Cloyne, in recognition of the assistance in land and books that he gave to Yale in the 18th century. Its unofficial rivals are Trumbull and Calhoun Colleges. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Berkeley_College_(Yale)   (523 words)

KTA [ Dialogue 2000 ] The design dialogue at Berkeley, the first of Yale's sixty-five year old residential colleges to undergo comprehensive renovations and alterations, is between the inevitability of change and necessity for permanence. Berkeley accepts and celebrates both the prior and new worlds, using new insertions -- be they artistic, programmatic, regulatory or technological in origin -- to draw constant comparison and conversation between a past artifact and a new potential. At Berkeley, we have interfered with this natural process in three ways: repair, reconstitution and replacement, with each tactic lifting and restarting the cycle of degradation to a lesser or greater degree. www.kierantimberlake.com /articles/dialogue_00_1.html   (953 words)

Berkeley College In 1999, after renovating Berkeley College, Yale engraved Berkeley's story onto the floor of a public gathering space in the basement of the college. This College, in the next year (1725), given the name of St. Paul's College in the King's Charter, was part of a great missionary effort. In 1999, Yale celebrated Berkeley's vision as a "great missionary effort." This vision involved kidnapping 10-year-old Native American boys, sending them to a remote island for re-education, and then releasing them once they were ready to evangelize their former homeland. www.yaleslavery.org /WhoYaleHonors/berk.html   (251 words)

Calhoun College His Yale tuition was paid from profits derived from slave labor. In 1930, Yale University decided that one of its residential colleges should be named "Calhoun College," in honor of this man. When Yale University built Harkness Tower in the 1930s, Calhoun's statue was installed as one of the eight Yale graduate "Worthies" of honor. Yale refused to consider renaming the college, but did hang a framed poster inside Calhoun College, acknowledging the controversy. www.yaleslavery.org /WhoYaleHonors/calhoun1.html   (420 words)

Center for Environmental Education The draw is Yale's new sustainable dining program, which offers meals made from local, seasonal, and sustainably grown food, cooked using recipes developed under the guidance of famed California restaurateur Alice Walters. Across the nation, from The College of the Atlantic on the Maine coast to Stanford University in California, college cafeterias are increasingly working to bypass -- at least in part -- the corporate food industry. Sometimes in response to student pressure, sometimes in keeping with institutional philosophies, a growing number of schools are reducing their use of pre-fab foods: those mammoth plastic bags of shredded iceberg lettuce, stacks of froze beef patties, and cardboard containers of pourable beaten eggs, all food of uncertain age and provenance. www.nku.edu /~enved/green_campuses.htm   (1028 words)

Berkeley Divinity School at Yale - Home   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) "In retrospect, the chief virtue of Berkeley Divinity School for me was that I learned what it meant to be Anglican while I attended classes with Roman Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and Protestants of every kind, as well as followers of other world religions. The result was a deeper sense of where my tradition falls in the wider Christian community, along with a better ability to live and work with people from many different faith traditions." "Berkeley's Episcopal identity within an ecumenical divinity school, at the heart of a great university, uniquely calls it to a minstry of leadership formation." research.yale.edu /berkeleydivinity   (147 words)

The Yale Daily News - 10/5/99 Cerveris, who has starred in several musical theater productions since his graduation from Yale, including "Titanic," "Tommy" and, most recently, the smaller-scale "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," spoke with about 25 students at a Berkeley College Master's Tea on Friday. At Yale, he majored in Theater Studies, which he said was a tiny, rather insignificant major at the time. Cerveris was interested in acting even before he came to college, but he chose Yale over a more theater-oriented conservatory because he wanted a good academic grounding. www.amazing-journey.com /htm/yale-1099.htm   (755 words)

Last check: 2007-10-10) A 48-year-old associate professor and master of Yale's Berkeley College, Mendenhall is Yale-famed for his classes in maritime and English history, admired for the pungent certitude with which he expresses himself and for his imaginatively disreputable wardrobe. Teacher Mendenhall is proprietor of the most disorderly office at Yale; at his study, drifted ceiling-high with books in imminent danger of avalanche, one student appeared, asked for an examination paper, got it only after Mendenhall fished it from under a corner of the rug. Masters of Yale's ten residential colleges are among the university's most respected faculty members; Mendenhall became master of Berkeley in 1949, soon won the loyalty of Berkeley undergraduates. www.time.com /time/magazine/article/0,9171,864442,00.html   (557 words)
