Yale-The Cradle of Leadership
耶魯大學--"總統(tǒng)的搖籃"
In the American history, some 5 presidents graduated from Yale: the 27th President William Howard Taft, the 38th President Gerald Rudolph Ford, the 41st President George Bush, the 42st President Bill Clinton and the 43rd President George Walker Bush. Yale relied on its outstanding performance to create a political miracle. Therefore, Yale is known as "the cradle of presidents". There is a joke in Yale going as "Incautiously，you will teach a President to come." Besides presidents, it has also trained numerous American eye-catching characters in the political arena. According to the correlation data statistics, since 1789 when American Cabinet was created, 9% of its members have come from Yale, 10 American Supreme Court grand justices once studied in Yale. What's more, numerous renowned universities，founders came from Yale, such as those presidents of Princeton University, Cornell University, University of Chicago, etc. Therefore, Yale is also known as "mother of American colleges".
在美國歷史上，有5位總統(tǒng)畢業(yè)于耶魯大學：第27任總統(tǒng)威廉·霍華德塔夫脫、 第38任總統(tǒng)杰拉爾德·魯?shù)婪颉じＬ亍⒌?1任總統(tǒng)喬治·布什，第42任總統(tǒng)比爾·克林頓以及第43任總統(tǒng)喬治·沃克·布什。耶魯憑借其出色的表現(xiàn)取得了政治上的奇跡。 因此贏得了"總統(tǒng)搖籃"的美稱。在耶魯流傳著這樣一句玩笑話，"一不小心，你就會教出一個總統(tǒng)來。"除了總統(tǒng)，耶魯還培養(yǎng)了眾多的著名政界要員。根據(jù)相關數(shù)據(jù)統(tǒng)計，自1789年美國內閣成立以來，9%的成員來自耶魯，10個最高法院大法官曾在耶魯讀書。此外，美國許多著名大學的校長都曾是耶魯學子，如普林斯頓大學、康奈爾大學、哥倫比亞大學、芝加哥大學等等。因此，耶魯又被稱為"美國學院之母"。
Although it is famous for its humanities, Yale also creates a group of world-top scientists for its sense of putting the same stress on arts and science subjects. For instance, Benjamin Silliman, known as "father of American education", who founded the American Journal of Science and the Arts in 1818 graduated from Yale.
耶魯雖然以人文學科著稱，但是其文理并重的風格同樣造就了許多世界一流的科學家。例如，1818年創(chuàng)辦《美國科學和藝術雜志》、有"美國教育之父"之稱的本杰明西利曼就畢業(yè)于耶魯大學。
