Yale Mechanical history
Yale Mechanical company history timeline
In 1947, the centennial of the Sheffield Scientific School was celebrated with a three day event including lectures by president Charles Seymour, Doctor Linus Pauling, Edmund W. Sinnott and others.
He then spent four years at Deerfield Academy before entering Yale in 1949 as a major in mechanical engineering.

After earning his PhD in 1951, Allan joined the faculty at Rochester where he taught physics for four years.
In 1952 Yale Engineering celebrated its centennial and at that time it was estimated that Yale had produced 15% of all US engineers.
In 1960, Bromley returned to the US to help Yale upgrade the three accelerators now available on upper Prospect Street.
Many alumni had been very critical when the 1961 report was first published, and they had not kept up with what had actually happened.
When Bob Mann ’51 BE and Hugo Beit ’53 BE (both native New Yorkers and close friends) became the YEA leaders in 1962 they represented a younger generation who would inherit the problems roiling the Yale engineering campus as Yale administrators moved to restructure engineering.
Following Griswold’s death in 1963, Kingman Brewster, Jr. was immediately appointed Yale’s 17th president.
Finally, in January 1966, Bob Mann suggested that the new name be: Yale Association for Science, Engineering and Industry.
1966 Loss of ECDP accreditation for all Yale undergraduate engineering programs.
Everyone outside Yale, and some inside, concluded that Yale had simply given up Engineering, and by 1974 the undergraduate enrollment had dropped from about 100 before all of this started to 14 per year, for a faculty of about 50.
When Kingman Brewster resigned the Yale presidency in 1977 to become the US Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Jannah Hoburn Gray was appointed president pro tem and the search for a new president began.
Haller worked his way up the academic ladder at Yale to become full Professor of Engineering and Applied Science in 1980.
By 1984 undergraduate majors hit a peak of 72, the largest number in 30 years, and the three engineering programs were fully accredited with the old names of Electrical, Mechanical and Chemical Engineering again.
In 1986, president Bart Giamatti left Yale to become president of National League Baseball.
1989 President Schmidt announces an “Engineering Initiative” planned to add 10 junior faculty positions over the next 5 years.
1991 Report by a committee of the University Council recommending the addition of 26 new faculty positions to Engineering, with an estimated cost of $100 million.
1992 (Mar) Independent committee rejects most of the proposals of the Restructuring Committee.
When Benno Schmidt suddenly resigned the Yale presidency in 1992, the Yale Corporation appointed Howard Lamar as interim president thus allowing a search committee to consider numerous presidential candidates capable of addressing the university’s many serious problems.
When Allan returned to Yale in January 1993, he became the first ever Sterling Professor of the Sciences appointed by the then president, Howard Lamar.
Later, in 2002, Fleury put together the first large scale Yale Engineering alumni reunion to celebrate the sesquicentennial (150 years) of Yale Engineering.
The Work of the University - Richard C. Levin, Yale University Press 2003
He strongly supported Paul Fleury, the new dean, until his untimely death in 2004 after 40 years of service to Yale and two countries.
In the spring of 2004, the J. Robert Mann Engineering Student Center (one of many gifts from Bob Mann ‘51BE, former president of YSEA) was opened as an intellectual cultural, and social meeting place for engineering students and friends.
2005 Malone Center built to house primarily Biomedical Engineering.
Also, in 2005, the Malone Engineering Center, designed by Caesar Pelli, became the first new engineering building in nearly 40 years.
Levin served on a congressional committee that published Rising Above the Gathering Storm (2007) which highlighted the shortcomings of US technology and basic research.
She has been very active in establishing contact with the Yale Corporation and the Administration, which resulted in the reestablishment of a School of Engineering and Applied Science in 2008, and it helped to bring about John Malone’s latest gift.
In 2008, Yale was engaged in a $1 billion campaign to upgrade its science and medical facilities when a rare opportunity to purchase a 136 acre development of the Bayer Healthcare Company emerged.
2011 Announcement of ten John C. Malone Professorships for the School of Engineering and Applied Science.
The current version, The Center for Research of Interfacial Structures and Phenomena (CRISP) is prospering at double the original size following a successful re-compete in 2011.
On the occasion of Levin’s retirement in June 2013, the Yale News published a ten page article entitled, 20 ways Yale was transformed during Levin’s 20 years.
In 2013, Yale’s voluntary payment was $8.1 million ranking Yale as New Haven’s fifth largest taxpayer.
