YALG-PANSIGII AND PGJ'l1PGDUl2l2 l i THE NEW YALE By james Rowland Angell N addition to the many compelling prob- lems which have already been brought to light in earlier discussions of the Quad- rangle Plan, the new program presents not a few questions affecting terminology which must be settled-at least provisionally. We have had a committee at work on the issue, consisting of the Secretary of the University and the Dean of Yale College, who have in- vited many other persons into conference, and the Corporation has approved their re- ort. p ln the first place, what generic designa- tion shall be given these new units? Har- vard calls its corresponding establishments l-louses. We have been calling ours Quadrangles. Others have wished to call them Halls, None of these practices seems to our Committee quite expedient for Yale, and, after due deliberation, we have decided to revert to an earlier Yale practice, in common use as late as l888, and call them Colleges The only material objec- tions which to my knowledge have been of- fered to this proposal are, first, the con- flict with the prevailing American usage whereby an educational institution in its entirety is called a College, for example, Amherst College, or Williams Collegeg and, second, the possible confusion with the teaching and educational unit now known as Yale College. To be sure, the undergradu- ate never speaks of the College, but more conveniently, if less elegantly, of Ac. But the graduates of the more recent decades have come to entertain a possibly hyper- sensitive regard for the title Yale College as the designation of a special portion of the undergraduate organization. Until i887 Yale College was the corporate name of what we now know as Yale University, and included not only the academical depart- ment, so-called in the official publications, but also Law, Medicine, Divinity, and the Sheffield Scientific School. But there will be many graduates in this audience who will recall the titles Farnam College, South Col- lege, North College, Durfee College, and so forth, all names clearly designating dormi- tory buildings and used without derogation from the significance of the title Yale Col- lege as the inclusive educational term. There is, in addition to the traditional reason for resuscitating this Yale usage, only recently discontinued-recently at least if one has regard to the full 230 years of the life of the institution-the further consideration that, as the plan is now conceived, there promises to be no little distinctly educa- I4 tional work carried on by these new units, not in separation from the educational con- trol of the College and the Scientific School, but supplementary to these and constituting intrinsic portions of the general educational program whose culmination is marked by the conferring of degrees under the primary jurisdiction of these older groups. This work promises to be in appreciable measure of a tutorial character, and if the term College as employed in current usage is felt to stress explicitly educational organizations, rather than residential establishments, this teach- ing function to which I have referred may still further justify the proposed procedure. The Alumni Board has been consulted, as well as its Committee on the College, and no objection has been raised in either quar- ter. So we start our program with the term College once more in active use as a title for the new residential units. Having proceeded thus far, the Commit- tee turned its attention to the specific names which might wisely be used for the first of the new Colleges. As far as possible, they have sought to retain appropriate names already in use in connection with the The Whitney Gymnasium
