YALE’S HISTORY SHOWS STUDENTS MUST CHOOSE: REVIVAL OR REBELLION

An urgent choice confronts Yale: whether to continue in its present drift toward
rebellion or to return to the foundation on which the college began and grew.
The choice in short is: revival or rebellion. Yale’s amazing history is proof
enough that the present course can be changed.

Today the average Yale undergraduate goes through his four years of college
thinking that Yale has always been more or less what it is now. He could be
confirmed in this belief by every aspect of his undergraduate life. Yale’s
history will show that for the great majority of its 300+ years, Yale was
thoroughly different from what it is today.

Old Campus with the original Dwight Hall, founded in 1886


BANNER OF FAITH, FOUNTAIN OF SERVICE: THE ORIGINAL DWIGHT HALL

From the day it was dedicated, October 17, 1886, the original Dwight Hall
building was a central meeting place—a home—for Yale students intent on
transforming their campus, New Haven and beyond in the name of Jesus Christ.

Dwight Hall stirred with activity in the years from 1886 to around 1920. On
Sunday evenings at Dwight Hall, anywhere from two hundred to five hundred men
gathered to hear brief talks on Biblical teachings. There were also prayer
meetings and committees for home missions and foreign missions. Students
involved themselves with City Rescue Missions and Boys’ Clubs to help meet New
Haven’s spiritual and social needs.

SLAVERY REPORT UNJUSTLY ACCUSES TIMOTHY DWIGHT, HISTORICAL RECORD VINDICATES HIM
TIMOTHY DWIGHT: THE FREEING OF A REPUTATION

Right sympathies, and bad scholarship, have disfigured and falsified Timothy
Dwight’s stance on slavery. The record, freed of arbitrary truncation and
misplaced persons, makes this plain. According to the recent report, “Yale,
Slavery and Abolition,” nine of the Yale’s twelve residential colleges are named
for men who either owned slaves or gave public support to slavery. Among the
accused stands Timothy Dwight the elder (President of Yale 1795-1817), for whom
both Timothy Dwight College and Dwight Hall are partly named.

THE YALE STANDARD

Welcome to the Yale Standard website! Our purpose is to uncover and present the
rich spiritual underpinnings of the Ivy League, especially Yale and Columbia
Universities. We consider that the love of the truth, the original central theme
of the Ivy League, must be restored to its central place. In the Ivy League’s
past and present, that yearning for truth has always conduced to the knowledge
of God, and His Son, Jesus Christ. We aim to make known His works in Ivy League
believers, past and present. We encourage believers in Jesus to walk in the full
scope of their calling on these campuses. We will cordially invite inquirers to
examine the clear record and evidence of God’s work on these campuses through
those that have served Him.

Please write us! Letters and submissions are welcome. Copies of print editions
are also available.

BIOGRAPHIES


BILL BORDEN: CHALLENGE TO A CONSECRATED LIFE

He was only 25 at his death, yet his life was one of great impact. When news of
his death was cabled from Egypt, Princeton Seminary declared, “No young man of
his age has ever given more to the service of God and humanity!”


LIVING WITH ALL HIS MIGHT: JONATHAN EDWARDS AND THE GREAT AWAKENING

Despite the oft-depicted caricature of a scowling preacher who conjured up
hell’s flames when he preached, Jonathan Edwards was a gentle man who through a
lifelong labor of pastoral service quietly established himself as a towering
giant in Christian history and Christian thought.


BENJAMIN SILLIMAN: FATHER OF AMERICAN SCIENCE

Silliman believed that not science but only God’s word could reveal God’s mercy.
“In Nature, in God’s creation, we discover only laws, [but] there is associated
with natural laws no system of mercy; that dispensation is not revealed in
Nature, and is contained in the Scriptures alone.”


HORACE TRACY PITKIN: YALE’S FIRST MARTYR

Horace Tracy Pitkin lived thirty years. Yet from the time he entered Yale as a
freshman in 1888 until 1900 when he died as a martyr in China, Pitkin
accomplished more in “twelve glorious years of crowded life” than most people do
in a lifetime.

SPIRITUAL ISSUES


THE CHURCH – THE BODY OF CHRIST

Paul wrote of the mystery that had been hidden throughout the ages: the mystery
of the Body of Christ. He called the Body of Christ the Church. God the Father
gave Jesus to be the Head of the “Church, which is His Body”. Those who believe
in Jesus can be baptized into His Body and made members (hands, feet, etc.) of
His Body. They are “to grow up in every way into Him Who is the Head, from Whom
the whole Body makes bodily growth and upbuilds itself in love, when each part
is working properly.”


THE HOPE THAT NEVER FAILS

“If I lift up my eyes to the hills, where shall I find help? Help comes only
from the Lord, maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2.


POWER TO BECOME A SON OF GOD

When God is central in a human life, there is a steadiness and “a peace that
passes understanding.


TAXES TO CAESAR

There were many who tried to test Jesus, to catch Him in something He might say
in front of the people.

HISTORIES


DECISION ON MOUNT HERMON

To a generation resigned to an “every man for himself” approach to life, the
immediate outcome of the Mount Hermon Conference may seem strange, though the
actions taken were simple enough. By its close, 100 young men had decided to
give their lives away in the bright New England summer of 1886.


THE MAKING OF PARADISE

Meet an orphaned Hawaiian, Henry Obookiah, who came to the doorstep of Yale, and
wept. He never returned to Hawaii, but Hawaii would never be the same….


WHEN MOODY THRILLED YALE

Dwight L. Moody and Ira Sankey were well-known revivalists, seeking to bring the
gospel of Jesus Christ to New Haven. The college took full part in the effort to
bring the evangelists to the area.


THE LONG DIFFICULT BIRTHING

If the New Haven colony were to prosper in faithful service to God, a college
was needed, not simply to train ministers, but, in Davenport’s own words, “to
fit youth . . . for the service of God in church and commonwealth.”


FRESHMEN WHO CHANGED YALE

Over the years, thousands of freshmen have come to Yale. Some have left an
indelible mark on the university.


FREQUENT REVIVALS MARK YALE’S HISTORY

Yale’s history will show that for the great majority of its 300+ years, Yale was
thoroughly different from what it is today.

The landmarks in Yale’s history are the men of character who have stood out when
others were content to go along with the trends of the day.
