Walking near Yale, we have begun to be attracted by the buildings on both sides of the street! Typical European architecture, medieval Gothic style, each building is different, forming its own shape without being abrupt.
After a simple party, two female college students each took a group tour and entered the main campus. We feel like we are in an old castle. Most of these buildings were built in the period of1917-1931. Trimmed lawns, towering trees, sunlight pouring down through leaves, sculptures scattered on paths and brick-red buildings make people walk into the manor of a medieval aristocratic family.
When I walked into the library of Yale University, I was completely shocked by the spectacular collection of books in front of me. It is reported that the library of Yale University is famous for its rich characteristic collections. It has11million books, including rare books, manuscripts, archives, maps, photos, audio-visual products, music scores, works of art and other unique research materials, as well as more and more digital collections, which are collected in 22 libraries respectively. The one we visited is not the biggest.
The first Bible in the world was originally a church. Later, a professor said that we don't need a church, we need a library, so it became the largest library in Yale. There are only 22 bibles in the world, one of which is in the library of Yale University.
This marble in front of the library is called "Women's Table", and the number of girls enrolled in a certain year is engraved on the table, which was designed by Lin Weiyin's niece Lin Ying. This famous Chinese-American architect was born in Athens, USA on 1959. Lin Ying showed his talent in mathematics and art at an early age. He was a top student in middle school. After graduation, he was admitted to the School of Architecture of Yale University. 1986 obtained the master's degree, and 1987 was awarded the honorary doctor of fine arts degree by Yale University. Another famous design of Lin Ying is the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington.
This bronze statue is the Reverend woolsey, the tenth president of Yale University. He is the president of Yale University 1846 to 187 1, the longest-serving president in the history of Yale University, and also a very attractive president. No matter when and where, even during the civil war, he never discriminated against one student because of the war.
Legend has it that he is also a headmaster who is regarded by students as bringing good luck. It is said that Yale will win the football match as long as he kicks off with his left foot. Because President woolsey can bring good luck to people, the shoes of his statue have been "touched by many people". You can see that his leather shoes have been touched by everyone.
Looking at Kan Kan, an Asian girl who showed us around the campus, she kept introducing the school and answering questions. She is ugly, but radiant. I really want to ask how she got in, the real version of the proud girl!
Yale's fame, its beauty and solemnity, and the solemn sense of history standing in the middle of the campus have attracted outstanding students from all over the world, even if they just come to visit, they feel very lucky …
