Gods and Man at Yale
Yale’s 300-year journey from Congregationalist college to multifaith
university hasn’t always been smooth. But the reviews so far are good. The Yale Alumni Magazine offers four short takes on belief at Yale today: an overview, a field guide to campus faith groups, a survey of the chaplaincy, and a look at what it’s like to be a devout undergraduate.

Time and Change
Photography by Mark Ostow

Out of the Blue
by John H. Downs '41
On the author’s role in the freshman boxing championship, a fight the Yale Daily News described as "a fisticuff tea party."
