The name conjures up a special cachet in America lore. The nation’s second oldest college. Alma mater of Presidents. Hillary and Bill met there in law school. Bastion of the old boy network. Captains of industry sent their sons for 300 years. But not their daughters. Yale was all-male—until 1968 when in the midst of […]
