    A Memory of William Sloan Coffin

    ByCarney Mimms June 21, 2018April 22, 2023

    Note From ClassBook Editor Carney Mimms:  My good friend, Nick Levitin, wrote this lovely tribute about Reverend Coffin.  It doesn’t really fit in the ClassBook, but it’s so heartfelt that I wanted to share it. A Memory of William Sloan Coffin By Nick Levitin I arrived in New Haven for my first job during a particularly volatile time – 1968. The Vietnam War, the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and shortly thereafter…

    Online Resources For Our Class

    ByCarl Lazarus June 21, 2018April 22, 2023

    When I was asked to produce an article on online resources for our class, I was concerned that I would be mostly duplicating information that is readily available.  I decided that the best approach is to give an overview to what can be a confusing tangle of sites and links between them. Here they are:

    Brewster And Coffin

    ByAndrew Popper June 16, 2018April 22, 2023

    In going through my photo archive for the ClassBook entry, I came across these two pictures, which I took while an undergrad.  In each case I was trying out a new camera as a reportage tool: a used Canon rangefinder at the Brewster event, and a Nikon FTn, my first single-lens reflex, for Coffin. Both subjects were indispensable Yale leaders, and …

    FRESHMAN EPIPHANY

    ByRichard Williams June 15, 2018April 22, 2023

    Having no exposure to affluence of any kind, let alone the kind associated with the families with “blue arms” who year after year produced the waves of prep school kids who flooded Yale’s campus, I received a crash course in the meaning of ascriptive wealth during my college years. My first lesson occurred during my very first year at Yale, when I met my freshman roommate, Burr Nash.

    Crew and Lacrosse National Championships Claimed in Same Week

    BySteven Haworth June 14, 2018April 22, 2023

    Fresh off its Intercollegiate Rowing Association national championship June 2, where they knocked off the west coast powerhouse Washington Huskies for the second year in a row, the Yale heavyweight men’s crew bested Harvard in the 153rd edition of the Harvard-Yale Regatta June 9.   National athletic championships have been few and far between for Yale.  To win two in one week, as well as defeating traditional rowing powerhouse Harvard a week later, marks a truly significant span in Yale athletics.  (See video of the win.)

    1965/1966/1967

    ByMichael Folz June 12, 2018April 22, 2023

    Editor’s Note: Michael Folz has written a small book on these three years, capturing the “cinematic detail” and anachronism-free dialogue that will bring you right into Cutler’s Records, roommate challenges, John Hersey’s den, Olivia’s late at night, Bingham hijinks, bursary jobs, bull sessions, mixers, Coffin’s advice, and ultimately a profound disillusionment with (and alienation from) Yale, dropping out in Sophomore year, having tuned in and turned on much earlier than others in our class. Mike returned to Yale and graduated in ’73, but this memoir covers the end of HS through the end of 1967. It’s a long read, but worth it.

    Sterilize The Johns – This Time For Sure!

    ByWayne Willis June 6, 2018April 22, 2023

    This is a combination post — reprising those silly buttons we bought and wore, and gearing up for a successful Yale-Harvard Game this year. In 1968, we wanted to “sterilize the Johns” but ended with a 29-29 tie.  This year, however, we have a very good chance to win, and the whole 2018 Yale-Harvard Weekend (November 16-17) looks to be a great place to witness that and get together with friends. Back to the buttons: Does…

    Editor’s Note: This is the first “Memories and Observations” post. The NCAA Lacrosse story was the second one. Hey, all you folks out there with memories and observations … share them here!
    Author’s Note: The recent death of Tom Wolfe (Yale ’57 PhD, American Studies) brought up a bunch of memories, some of which are in an article I wrote for LEAR’S magazine in 1990, and republished recently on Salon.
