Facts about Yale University<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

1. Name matters<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Yale is named after a businessman Elihu Yale, who was the Governor of the British East India Company and considered the most overrated philanthropist of that era (no offense intended). The reason: The University had many other benefactors, most prominent among them Jeremiah Dummer, but his name did not sound appealing enough, and Yale was selected.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. 2000 courses<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Yes, that was not a typo. Yale University offers nearly 2000 undergraduate courses in various fields and streams. Most of its faculty is dedicated to teaching undergraduate students.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Safer than a bank<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

There is a structure at Yale University which is so secure and safe that in case of a fire, people in it will have only 30 seconds to get out before the structure will suck out all oxygen, release a lethal, but fire suppressing gas, and will immediately fall into an underground vault. And no, it\u2019s not a bank. It\u2019s the Yale Library which has more than 15 million books.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. They trained monkeys to use money<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

In 2005, a duo from Yale successfully trained seven Capuchin monkeys to use money. The monkeys actually used the knowledge to buy something for themselves. Now, that\u2019s something!<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Producer of the powerful<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Till now, Yale has produced 5 US presidents, 52 Nobel Laureates, 19 US Supreme Court Justices, and 13 living billionaires. Not to say hundreds of members of the US Congress and high-level diplomats.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. They have their match<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The rivalry between Harvard and Yale is one of the most cherished and legendary rivalries in the world. It all began with a football game in 1875 and the rivalry continues as every year, a football match takes place between the teams of both institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n
