4. Yale Was Originally a Religious Institution

Well, most private learning institutions including colleges and universities in the United States were founded for religious purposes, and Yale is one of them. It was originally founded by clergymen to educate people on how to become Congregational ministers.

5. Location and Renaming

Although currently, Yale is in New Haven, Connecticut, it relocated to that place in 1716. That was the same year it was renamed after the patron Elihu Yale, the governor of East India Company. That’s why you will hear people calling Yale students “Eli’s”.
