Yale University, founded 1701 in New Haven Connecticut — one of the founding Ivy League universities — whose Law School, Divinity School, and humanities departments have produced major American intellectual figures, and whose residential college system is the model for liberal arts education.
Represents the American research university's integration of liberal education with professional training — Yale's Directed Studies program (Great Books) has produced a significant number of American intellectuals — and its drama school and literary culture make it the intersection of academic and artistic life.
