Admissions dean accepts his better half. Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Jeremiah Quinlan has admitted a great number of students to Yale, but only one person to his heart. Quinlan’s wedding, which took place this past Saturday, was probably an affair similar to the regular applicant’s notification date on April 1 every year — a day of excitement for a select individual but longing, jealousy and resentment for the majority of others.

Too bad Harvard itself is so good at winning the “Who has it worse game” when compared to Yale.
From caterpillars to butterflies. College students are like fine wine in that they improve with age. Recognizing this fact, a recent video created by the Dartmouth library titled Echoes of Dartmouth juxtaposed interviews with eight seniors conducted this fall with interviews taped with their awkward former freshmen selves in 2009.
Strangers in a strange land. Campus Canadians commemorated their own variety of Veteran’s Day in the Yale Law School courtyard on Monday with the passing of poppies, a symbol of veterans’ contributions in the land to the North.
This day in Yale history 1968. Ticket sales for the Harvard Yale game cease as the event becomes oversubscribed.
