4. The first author was a Visiting Professor at Yale for several years therefore this statement is not an indictment but is instead an observation.
5. It is not uninteresting that, as an illustration of the tension between Yale and New Haven, the cemetery that contains the remains of Noah Webster and that abuts on the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science on Prospect Avenue and the Faculty of Law on Elm has chiselled into its stone gates the phrase 'and the dead shall be raised'. Most visitors believe this to be religious in origin. It is however a phrase, repeated each year by the President of Yale to the Mayor and city council that when Yale needs the land back from the city, the 'dead shall be raised" - and moved.
