Calhoun College, for Statesman John Caldwell Calhoun (1782-1850) of South Carolina. Graduated from Yale in 1804, he was U. S. Representative (1811-17), Secretary of War under President James Monroe, Vice President of the U. S. (1825-32), U. S. Senator from 1833 until his death, save for a year as Secretary of State under President John Tyler. With Henry Clay, he helped precipitate the War of 1812. Statesman Calhoun amplified and clarified the theory of State's Rights, clashed over it with Daniel Webster in a famed debate in 1833, brought it to bear (he was a slaveholder) on the Abolition movement.

Trumbull College, for Jonathan Trumbull (Yale 1779, LL.D.), Revolutionary patriot and Governor of Connecticut, no ancestor of Connecticut's recent (1925-31) Governor John H. Trumbull, father- in-law of John Coolidge. Father-in-law Trumbull's parents were Scotch-Irish immigrants to the U. S.

^{* Save for John Davenport and Pierson, recently completed,
which are red brick Georgian. To match nearby buildings Davenport has a
novel Gothic facade. Scornful of Yale's architecture, the perky
Harkness Hoot this month lists these styles, all to be found on the
campus: Nondescript-General Grant, American Colonial-Georgian, French
Renaissance Classic, Moorish, Lombard-Romanesque, Venetian, Greek
Temple, Gothic.
