The American Revolution in Yale collections

View Slideshow 14 Photos

As the nation celebrates Independence Day on July 4, it’s worth noting that not only has Yale been a university longer than the United States has been a country — by a full 75 years — but also that many of its alumni played an integral role in its foundation. The work of the United State's earliest artists, writers, philosophers, statesmen, and musicians are preserved today in Yale’s collections.
