		According to Katz, Sterling's relationship with James O. Bloss ("Blossie" to his friends) began shortly after Sterling graduated from Yale in 1864 and lasted until his death in 1918.
		Sterling's own bachelorhood was a major boon to Yale, since the university was the beneficiary of a sizable fortune that might otherwise have gone to family.
		One of Sterling's biographers noted that he "remained indifferent to the charms of women." An entry from Sterling's diary during his school years says he "slept with Jim Mitchell," a Yale classmate and fellow lifelong bachelor, but the rest of the entry is crossed out.

		Sterling Memorial is the main library for Yale students, and it really does have almost every book imaginable (when I was a senior I discovered that it had some old editions of the Books of Narnia.
		Sterling also stands above Cross Campus Library, which is underground, ugly as sin, and where most students go to study if they don't want to/can't study in their rooms-- usually in the study carrells (called 'weenie bins').
		Lin also designed The Women's Table outside of Sterling Memorial (as Rory said); the table is a large, oval table made of green marble, with dates and the number of women attending Yale at that time carved in an every increasing spiral, starting from zero.
