About the Photos
Our holdings include hundreds of glass and film negatives/transparencies that we've scanned ourselves; in addition, many other photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs) in the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) They are adjusted, restored and reworked by your webmaster in accordance with his aesthetic sensibilities before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here. All of these images (including "derivative works") are protected by copyright laws of the United States and other jurisdictions and may not be sold, reproduced or otherwise used for commercial purposes without permission.

It's nice to see that two men could walk down the street arm in arm and not get any "gay" comments. When did this country get so uptight about men touching each other?

It was not until 1969 that Yale admitted undergraduate women as full time students. One hundred years before that, women grad students were allowed to take certain specified classes at Yale in the arts, etc., but it was only 43 yrs. ago that they were finally permitted to join the men as equal undergrads.
