About the Author

After graduating from the Yale School of Architecture in 1972, Richard Nash Gould eventually became a senior associate at Gwathmey Siegel & Associates Architects before starting his own architectural practice in New York City in 1980. The Whiffenpoof 90th Anniversary in 1999 provoked his initial book research, but the project quickly developed into a history of Yale College in the twentieth century.

Reviews

"I join in the acclamation by everyone who has seen your remarkable book. It is brilliantly conceived and perfectly executed."-William F. Buckley, Jr.

-- William F. Buckley Jr.
"There has never been such a permanently valuable and brilliantly illustrated book about the history and culture of undergraduate Yale. Richard Gould has combined high talent for design and graphic reproduction with creative selection of fascinating detail year by year for a century. The book will stir memories and surprise even those who think they know Yale. . . .There is nothing like it."-George Gaddis Smith, Larned professor emeritus of history at Yale University -- George Gaddis Smith
"Thanks to the compiler's endless care, unmatched archival labors, and extraordinary visual sense, each page of this volume retrieves the forgotten life of past moments, in pictures that read less like records of events than bursts of recovered vitality."-Richard Brodhead, former Dean of Yale College -- Richard Brodhead
