Welcome

In late May of 1950, you and I and more than 1600 others finished our bright college years as Yale graduated its largest – and most diverse – class ever. We were an eclectic mixture: men newly released from wartime military service; men fresh from secondary school or medical school; men contemplating marriage or not sure; men ready (or not really ready) to face the outside world; men to whom fifty years ahead seemed like eternity.

Excerpt from the greeting from Kenneth A. Wood, Jr. and George W. Gephart in
Fifty Seasons: A gathering Memoir at The Millennium of the Yale University Class of 1950
