		The Sheffield Scientific School, originally known as the Yale Scientific School, played an important role in the evolution of American higher learning from the classical model of education to one encompassing the study of science and the liberal arts.
		The Sheffield Scientific School terminated as an active school in 1956 although the Board of Trustees still exists to oversee the Sheffield Scientific School property and meet legal requirements.
		Later, the course came to be known as the "Sheffield Lectures," and while the general character remained the same, the tendency was to appeal to a more highly cultivated audience.

		Sheffield had a wide reputation, owing to his benefactions to Yale College, it being owing to his magnificent gifts to that institution that the Sheffield Scientific School is now placed in its present high position among the educational foundations in the country.
		He gave the building at which the Sheffield School was started, twice refitted or enlarged it, gave a fund of $130,000 for Professorships, a library fund of $10,000, afterward increased to $12,000, and paid for the Hillhouse Mathematical Library $41,000.
		Sheffield had six children, and it is conjectured from the wording of the will that he treated the Sheffield School as though it were a seventh child.

		But in 1852, with the founding of the Sheffield Scientific School (SSS), a school that contained within its bounds Yale's applied chemistry, philosophy, engineering, and other scientific programs, a fundamental schism opened up between the sciences and the humanities.
		That was the school tradition." Eventually, in 1920, Yale instituted a "Common Freshman Year" and overlapping curricula for both schools, and in 1945 the University abolished SSS as an separate undergraduate institution altogether.
