According to the survey, among those who work on the top-level of American 500 big companies, the percentage of Yale graduates is the highest, even higher than that of Harvard. Yale also trained a galaxy of famous stars to the show business, among which are Meryl Streep,the heroine in Sophie's Choice and Kramer VS. Kramer, X-Files star David Ducho-vny; Claire Danes; Julie Harris; Paul Newman, etc.
據調查顯示,在美國500強企業工作的人中,耶魯學子所占比例是最大的,甚至高于哈佛學子。耶魯也為美國演藝圈輸送了大批光彩照人的演藝明星,如主演《蘇菲的選擇》和《克萊默夫婦》的著名影星梅里爾_斯特里普、《X檔案》中的男主角大衛杜楚尼,以及克萊爾丹絲、朱麗葉哈里斯、保羅紐曼等。

What is the most proud to Yale is Nathan Hale, a student from class 1773, known as an American national hero. The patriotic young man was dedicated to the intelligence-gathering mission during the American Independence War, only to be arrested and hanged to death. Before his death, he said that "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."
最讓耶魯引以為榮的莫過于1773級的學生--被美國人稱為民族英雄的內森·黑爾。具有強烈愛國熱情的內森·黑爾在美國獨立戰爭中深人英軍防線搜集情報時被捕, 并被處以絞刑。就義前,他留下了豪言壯語:"我惟一的憾事就是沒有第二次生命獻給我的祖國。"
Why Yale has trained so many great leaders? The reason lies in its tradition of concerning the society and stressing the education of leadership. The mission of Yale is to create ambitious students, to develop their intelligence, morality, responsibility and creativity by means of the richest mind training and social experience so that they can be influenced by human legacy and serve the American Values.
耶魯為什么會培養這么多領袖人物?因為她有關心社會和重視"領導者教育"的傳統。耶魯的使命就是教育學生有遠大的抱負,并通過大量的思維訓練、社會體驗發展他們的智慧、品行、責任感和創造力,使其深受人類豐富遺產的陶冶,形成美國特有的價值觀。
