  Yale University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yale's 70 undergraduate majors are primarily focused on a liberal curriculum, and few of Yale's undergraduate departments are pre-professional in nature (even the engineering departments encourage and require students to explore academic disciplines outside of engineering).
The rivalry between Yale and Harvard University is long and storied, by far the oldest and most intense in the Ivy League; from academics to rowing to college football, their historic competition is similar to that of Oxford and Cambridge.
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.

 YAM October 2001 - Yale University Art Gallery
In what Gallery director Jock Reynolds is calling a "warmup" for the top-to-bottom renovation of the YUAG that is scheduled to begin in 2003, the Ameri-can wing underwent far more than cosmetic surgery.
Art museums, huffed one undergraduate, were "snob palaces," and any building that "wreaked of elitism" was simply out of step with the spirit of the era.
Gallery director Reynolds had already asked the curators of every department to overhaul their displays, and in the late 1990s, the museum was engaged with architect James Polshek and Partners and others in Yale's arts community to develop a $250 million master plan to upgrade the arts area complex.

Its name was changed to Yale College in 1718 in honor of Elihu Yale, who had been persuaded by Cotton Mather and Jeremiah Dummer to contribute to the college.
Numerous schools were added, such as medicine (1813), divinity (1822), law (1824), graduate studies (1847), and art and architecture (1865); as a result in 1887, under Timothy Dwight, the college was renamed Yale Univ. Later, other schools were added: music (1894), forestry (1900), nursing (1923), engineering (1932), drama (1955), and organization and management (1975).

There is also at the gallery a painting probably even more famous than the van Gogh, (although not as critically respected) namely "The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776," by John Trumbull, one of those images you've seen so many times you may have been unaware that it even had an original source or artist.

 YALE UNIVERSITY ART GALLERY
In the fall of 1926 construction began on a new building that would unite the University’s art collections, then dispersed in several locations around campus, and provide increased space for the expanding collection.
The Gallery of Fine Arts, as it was known, was designed by well-known architect Egerton Swartwout, B.A. 1891, and opened to the public on September 27, 1928.
The structure today, known as the Swartwout building, still houses portions of the Gallery’s collection and is the center of exhibitions and programming during the restoration of the Gallery’s main building, designed by Louis I. Kahn.

 Art in America: Vital parts - Eva Hesse, Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Connecticut, Hirshhorn Museum, ...
She repeatedly stated that Willem de Kooning was her childhood idol, and the first room of smallish early paintings at Yale certainly confirmed that, although they looked more like something by Karel Appel or other members of the Cobra group.
In one of the panel discussion held that Yale concurrently with the exhibition, Mel Bochner pointed out that it seems useful to think of Hesse as part of the long line of painterly sculptors which stretches back through David Smith all the way to Medardo Rosso and, I would add, Degas.
A set of these first sculptures, which were done during the two years Hesse spent in Germany with her husband, sculptor Tom Doyle, were shown in the next room at Yale along with a group of "mechanical" drawings which were exhibited as a re-creation of her studio wall as taken from an old photograph.

Her serial photographic work Frieze (1991-92) (a polysemous title in the context of the British art world given Damien Hirst's 1988 "Freeze" show and the aggressively hip English art-mag Frieze) consisted of 40 panels, each showing a hazy fl and white image of a mother and two children wading in a body of water.
The piece was originally exhibited at University College in London as a film projected across the preserved remains of Jeremy Bentham, inventor of the Panopticon.
While the woman soothes herself with samplings of tea, she demonstrates that this very ritual of mourning is enmeshed in a postcolonial predicament: a melancholic allegory where England laments the loss of her empire through the continued ingestion of colonial comforts.
