Saturday morning

Assembly participants had a choice of attending a morning tour at the Yale Center for British Art or the Yale-Princeton tailgate and football game. A triumphant afternoon on the Yale Field was marred only by the cold temperatures in the Bowl. Fortunately, alumni had a refuge at the AYA indoor tailgate at Cullman Courts where there was plenty of warmth, delicious chowder, coffee, and box lunches. The Yale Band made an enthusiastic appearance, complete with choreography.
