I have paid close attention. and the childish, off kilter, disturbing behavior of those “students” means that yale needs to really rethink the criteria for acceptance of future students. for a world leading university with such a large number of people applying for a small number of coveted spots …Yale appears to have done a terrible job of finding it’s current set of students. whining and screeching in a frenzied manor are not ideal traits for an ivy league student.
Yes, bring back the good old days of 1963:
At Yale, as many as 2,000 boys picked up the same act early on May 10, with the New York Times reporting:
“This morning, soon after midnight, freshmen left Vanderbilt Hall and began shouting on the campus. Upper classmen joined in, and the students marched in the streets toward Helen Hadley Hall, Yale’s only dormitory for women. They found the police barring all approaches to the dormitory.”
But to get the full effect of the moment, you had to pick up the Herald Tribune, which was not too decorous to report the marchers’ chant, “We want sex! We want sex!” Turned away at Hadley Hall, the boys regrouped, went downtown, and engaged in melee with police that produced 17 arrests and put significant mileage on at least 50 billy clubs.
I’m pretty happy with Yale’s current crop of students, and my kid and my money go there. I think some of them will benefit from growth in maturity, like all college students, of course.
