Looks like Bob Fairclough will have to put his retirement plans on hold for a while. Bob is a biophysical chemist at UC Davis, where he is professor emeritus in the Department of Neurology’s School of Medicine. At an age when most of us are retired, he has just been awarded a sizable grant from the National Institutes of Health to continue the project that has been fascinating him for decades: developing an improved diagnostic test for myasthenia gravis, a chronic auto-immune disease that prevents the skeletal muscles – the ones that contract to allow your arms and legs to move and your lungs to breathe in and out – from receiving messages from your nervous system.

Faculty Videos

Time to take an intellectual and spiritual trip down memory lane with three of the most extraordinary figures of our undergraduate years: the great art historian Vincent Scully, the unforgettable University Chaplain William Sloane Coffin, and Sterling Professor of Humanities Harold Bloom, who passed away on October 14. Links to lectures by all three of them are present on our Faculty Videos page.

Click here for some of Professor Scully’s most memorable lectures, including talks on Eero Saarinen, Louis Kahn, Maya Lin, and modern architecture.

Click here for some of Reverend Coffin’s most memorable sermons at New York’s historic Riverside Church, where he served for more than ten years as Senior Minister after his time at Yale.

And click here to view Professor Bloom’s lectures.

We’re still looking for videos of historian John Morton Blum and philosopher Paul Weiss. We’ll let you know as soon as we find them. Please tell us if there are any other professors you’d like us to search for. FIND MORE on our Faculty videos page.

Hello, Kingman!

No longer a puppy, Handsome Dan XIX, Kingman, is 2 years old! A generous soul, he shared his cake with his best friend, Officer Heidi.

Party on, birthday boy!

Celebrating with the team

Yale has a new mascot! Say hello to Handsome Dan XIX, known to his intimates as Kingman. He succeeds Handsome Dan XVIII, aka Walter, who resigned when his caregiver moved to New York. Kingman lives in New Haven with Kassandra “Kassie” Haro ’18, a Berkeley College alumna who will train, socialize and manage the pup’s public appearances. You can read much more about Kingman here, and read about how Handsome Dan XIX got his name, with a great historic photo and dog story of his famous namesake here.
