Yale traces its beginnings to "An Act for Liberty to Erect a Collegiate School" passed by the General Court of the Colony of Connecticut and dated October 9, 1701.
Yale supports 35 varsity athletic teams that compete in the Ivy League Conference and the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and Yale is an NCAA Division I member.

 Yale Office of Public Affairs - Yale School of Architecture Pays Homage to Former Dean Charles Moore   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The second section of the exhibition, "Yale: 1965-1970," focuses on changes initiated at Yale from 1965, when Moore was invited to Yale by then president Kingman Brewster, to his departure from Yale in 1970.
During this time, the department of architecture at Yale began conferring the master's as its primary professional degree, and accordingly, Moore's status changed from department chair to dean.
She was the curator for the recent exhibition "Shaping the Great City: Modern Architecture in Central Europe, 1890-1937," at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal.

Robert A. Stern, dean of the Yale School of Architecture, said the symposium sought to "look at various modes and modalities of modernism in America." Many lecturers challenged the common perception that modernism was brought over completed from Europe and that Americans "just rolled over," Stern said.
School of Architecture lecturer Karla Britton, who organized the conference, said the event favored a more nuanced look over the "prevailing assumption that somehow modernism was an import brought over by the exiled European avant-garde."
Stern said the architecture school's symposium was "lively and well-attended" and the audience seemed to be enjoying the lectures.
