Synopsis:
Recounts the experiences of Jews attending Yale from 1809 to the present, and looks at the changing attitudes of the Yale administration and student body
Review: "Dan A. Oren's meticulous research reveals how the traditional exclusivist conception of Yale University evolved gradually over time, and with what consequences for Jews and other original outsiders...Jundicious in tone, balanced and fluently written." A.J. Sherman, Times Literary Supplement "An admirably probing and balanced account of a subject that was up to now considered taboo." Lewis Coser "A richly researched and well-written book." Naomi W. Cohen, American Historical Review "A most complete, throughly researched, and well documented history." Melvin Ezer, Educational Studies"
