Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences

Yale’s facilities for research and study include a university library system of nearly eleven million volumes, the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, the Yale University Art Gallery, the Yale Center for British Art, the Office of Information Technology Services, departmental libraries and collections, and the extensive resources of the professional schools.

In 1920, the Graduate School was assigned its own governing board, and under Dean Wilbur Lucius Cross (1916-1930), it attracted a large and distinguished scholarly faculty.

Designed by James Gamble Rogers, the building is in the scholastic Gothic style, with whimsical and emblematic decorative details, stained glass windows, and ornamented ceilings.
