By the time of the American Revolution, the curriculum had expanded to include humanities and sciences, as well as theology and holy languages. In the 19th century, the college developed into graduate and professional instruction, awarding the first PhD in the United States in 1861 and organizing as a university in 1887. With the fast development of the physical campus and scientific research after 1890, Yale's faculty and student populations increased. The original undergraduate college, the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and twelve professional schools make up Yale's fourteen constituent institutions. While the Yale Corporation governs the institution, each school's faculty is in charge of its curriculum and degree programmes. The institution possesses athletic facilities in western New Haven, a campus in West Haven, and woods and wildlife preserves around New England, in addition to a core campus in downtown New Haven. The university's endowment was worth $42.3 billion in 2021, making it the second biggest of any educational institution..The Yale University Library, which serves all constituent institutions, is the third-largest academic library in the United States, with over 15 million volumes. Students compete in NCAA Division I – Ivy League intercollegiate sports as the Yale Bulldogs. As of October 2020, Yale University has 65 Nobel laureates, five Fields Medalists, four Abel Prize laureates, and three Turing Award winners. Yale University has also produced a number of notable alumni.

Yale University Campus

Yale's central campus, located in downtown New Haven, spans 260 acres (1.1 km2) and includes the university's primary, historic campus as well as a medical facility adjacent to Yale-New Haven Hospital. The institution has 500 acres (2.0 km2) of sporting facilities in western New Haven, including the Yale Golf Course. The 17-building, 136-acre (0.55 km2) former Bayer HealthCare complex in West Haven, Connecticut, was bought by Yale in 2008, and the buildings are currently used as laboratory and research space. Yale also owns seven woods and wildlife preserves in Connecticut, Vermont, and New Hampshire, the largest of which is the 7,840-acre (31.7 km2) Yale-Myers Forest in Connecticut's Quiet Corner. The Yale Art Gallery and Center for British Art, Eero Saarinen's Ingalls Rink and Ezra Stiles and Morse Colleges, and Paul Rudolph's Art & Architecture Building are among the prominent contemporary structures mentioned in architectural history survey courses. Yale also owns and has renovated a number of notable 19th-century homes on Hillhouse Avenue, which Charles Dickens deemed the most beautiful street in America when he visited in the 1840s. The Yale campus was named one of the most beautiful in the United States by Travel+Leisure in 2011. Many of Yale's buildings, notably the Yale Drama School, were built in the Collegiate Gothic architectural style between 1917 and 1931, with much of the funding provided by Edward S. Harkness. Contemporary college personas, such as a writer, an athlete, a tea-drinking socialite, and a student who has fallen asleep while reading, are depicted in stone sculpture placed into the walls of the buildings. Similarly, the ornate friezes on the buildings represent modern scenarios, such as a police officer pursuing a thief and catching a prostitute (on the Law School's wall) or a student relaxing with a cup of beer and a cigarette. James Gamble Rogers, the architect, faked the ageing of these structures by splashing acid on the walls, deliberately breaking their leaded glass windows and repairing them in the Middle Ages style, and creating niches for decorative statuary but leaving them empty to simulate loss or theft over time.. In reality, the structures just imitate Middle Ages architecture because, while they look to be made of solid stone blocks around the traditional style, the majority of them are made of steel frame, which was prevalent in 1930. Harkness Tower, which is 216 feet (66 metres) tall and was once a free-standing stone tower, is an exception. It was rebuilt in 1964 to allow the Yale Memorial Carillon to be installed. Other Gothic-style buildings on the Old Campus include those by Henry Austin, Charles C. Haight, and Russell Sturgis. Vanderbilt Hall, Phelps Hall, and St. Anthony Hall are all affiliated with members of the Vanderbilt family (a commission for member Frederick William Vanderbilt), the Mason, Sloane, and Osborn laboratories, as well as parts of Silliman College, Yale's biggest residential college, and dorms for the Sheffield Scientific School (the engineering and sciences school until 1956).

Sustainability

Yale's Office of Sustainability is responsible for developing and implementing sustainable practices on campus. Yale has pledged to lower its greenhouse gas emissions by 10% by 2020 compared to 1990 levels. The university distributes renewable energy credits to offset some of the energy consumed by residential colleges as part of this commitment. Eleven campus buildings have been identified as potential LEED design and certification candidates. All residential college dining halls now provide local, organic vegetables, fruits, and meat, thanks to the Yale Sustainable Food Project. On the Sustainable Endowments Institute's College Sustainability Report Card 2008, Yale has named a Campus Sustainability Leader and achieved a "B+" score overall.

Relationship with New Haven

Yale is the city of New Haven's primary taxpayer and employer, and it has frequently boosted the city's economy and neighbourhoods. Yale, on the other hand, has continuously refused to pay a tax on its intellectual property. The Art Galleries at Yale, as well as many other campus resources, are free and available to the public. Yale also supports the New Haven Promise programme, which covers full tuition for qualified New Haven public school students.

Town–gown Relations

Yale's relationship with its home city is delicate; for example, hundreds of students volunteer each year in a variety of community groups, but city leaders, who object to Yale's exemption from local property taxes, have long pressured the institution to do more. Yale has financially supported many of New Haven's initiatives to revitalize the city under President Levin's leadership. The town-gown connection appears to be mutually beneficial, according to evidence. Despite this, the university's economic influence grew tremendously as a result of its financial success despite the local economy's downturn.

Campus Safety

Yale has pioneered a number of campus safety initiatives. Yale Institution established the first campus police force in 1894 when the university hired municipal police officers to patrol the campus exclusively. The cops were first sent into a quiet conflict between students and local residents to prevent damaging student activity. They were later hired by the institution. A range of safety services is offered, including blue phones, a safety escort, and a 24-hour shuttle service, in addition to the Yale Police Department. Poverty and violent crime grew in New Haven in the 1970s and 1980s, putting a damper on Yale's attempts to recruit students and staff. New Haven's crime rate dropped by half between 1990 and 2006, according to the cityYale's campus, became the safest among the Ivy League and peer colleges, thanks to a community policing policy implemented by the New Haven Police Department. Yale was accused of under-reporting rape and sexual assaults by the national non-profit watchdog group Security on Campus, which filed a complaint with the US Department of Education in 2004. Yale declared in April 2021 that students would be required to acquire the COVID-19 vaccination as a condition of being on campus during the fall 2021 semester.
