About Yale

In the words of the historian George W. Pierson, Yale University, founded in 1701, is “at once a tradition, a community of scholars, and a society of friends.”

This Tumblr is a photo album, sketchbook and moodboard of sights and sounds from around the University and our home, New Haven, Connecticut. Some truly incredible people live, learn, teach and play here - we would like to introduce you to a few of them.

Want to submit something to be published on the blog (say, a photo of the Wooster Square cherry blossoms in bloom, or even a personal video project)? Go right ahead and send it through the Submissions page.
There is a room full of human brains at the Yale School of Medicine. The story begins with Harvey Cushing, Yale class of 1891, Sterling Professor of Medicine in Neurology, and the pioneer and father of neurosurgery. Cushing was an obsessive cataloger, and the Cushing Brain Tumor Registry, as it is known today, is an immense archive of over 2,200 case studies which includes whole human brain specimens, tumor specimens, microscopic slides, notes, journal excerpts and over 15,000 photographic negatives dating from the late 1800s to 1936. The registry itself is a treasure; a unique resource that documents the history of neurological medicine from its beginning.
