Calhoun turret

We left Old Campus to walk along Elm Street, which brought us to Calhoun college, another of the 12 residential colleges. Calhoun was named after a John Calhoun, a Yale alumnus once considered distinguished enough, despite his being a vigorous defender of slavery, to have a college named after him. Sufficient time has not yet passed alas that Yale has renamed this college, however, in a bold move (that was irony) they did put up a plaque about the issue in 1992.

 

If you look carefully, not all of that cloud is cloud. The moon had risen.
