University, a world-famous university founded in 1716. The university grounds
are located in the heart of New Haven. Gothic buildings on campus stand as sturdy
sentinels from the past creating a steadying influence accompanied by a certain
mystique. The Harkness Tower sings out at different times of day, filling the
