Introduction

Yale University anchors New Haven, Connecticut, in a core of Gothic Revival colleges, courtyards and spires. Founded in 1701, it is among America's oldest universities, its campus dotted with landmarks — the Old Campus, Sterling Memorial Library's cathedral-like nave, the Beinecke's marble tower of rare books, and the free Yale University Art Gallery. A stroll threads centuries of scholarship and architecture; the surrounding city adds pizza lore and a livelier street scene than the stone suggests.
